For better or for worse, the way we watch TV has changed a great deal over the years.
Some of us might be old enough to remember when there was just one channel before ITV was launched to compete with the BBC in 1955 while other of us will perhaps best remember the day of five channels before the introduction of Sky and freeview.
These days, there are more options than ever before when it comes to TV, with streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime also ensuring that you can watch as many shows as possible at just about any time throughout the day.
However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the quality of TV shows is as good as it once was, particularly on certain channels.
With that in mind, we asked our readers to pick out some of the shows from back in the day that they miss the most and this is how they responded.
