Also Dr. Who (not the present trash showing for the last 20 odd years)...

& Fawlty Towers... the Madonna with the big B**bies

"The Madonna with the big boobies" = Allo Allo


Fawlty Towers and Allo Allo were shown in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 3 sitcoms that I listed earlier were shown on Nigerian TV in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Who remembers a British comedy show that has big nosed cartoons and instrumentals as its opening theme? Those cartoons looked like the types in old Readers Digest. It usually aired on NTA 10 Lagos and NTA 2 Channel 5.

They were like human caricatures. Used to watch it from early 80s to mid 80s.My dad loved it. I hated it (apart from the opening theme) cos it aired just before Brazilian Soccer (which used to start by 10pm Sunday nights on NTA 10. Hated any program that preceded Brazilian Soccer, Big League Soccer and Soccer in Germany, as those programs seemed to stretch the time I had to wait before watching my football.

Only those of us who were fully conscious while growing up in the 70s up until mid 80s would know JJ the dynamite . When we'd sit in front of our black and white TV and be expecting when NTA would come on air. Aiyemi, temi bami...how time flies So, this man is now 70? For those yapping the indomie generations, don't forget Maggie 2-minute noodles was also around in the 80s oo. Only ajepako here no go eva fit know this fact.

blank:


It's not thrash. I haven't watched the one with the woman Dr but 10th and 11th Doctor were quite good especially David Tennant. The 4th Doctor was who we all grew up watching and he was the most popular so i feel there would be some bias there.

tesppidd:
bros bros you don old.

fairfora:
lol. I be small boi before? im in my 40s. No be verybody wey dey nairaland be students na. Professors dey here, doctors dey too, even embassies like USA embassy dey here live attending to visa queries. That's why at times, we should be cautious of the kind of response we give when replying to somebody's posts or comments on nairaland. Senators sef dey here. For instance, once fake news comes up here and it gets to the front page, you'd see the government debunking it fast . One would be wondering how come? I'm always appalled when some people would hit members in their comments here with insults, not minding who the moniker could be. Cheers

You just listed two of my favourite programmes back to back. Sunday night Brazilian Soccer and Football Made In Germany (with Tobi Charles as commentator).

Ok, based on the year that those shows were shown, I think you are talking about Secret Service.

The NTA showed "Brazilian Football" at 10pm in the 1970s and early 1980s. It was produced by O'Rede Globo and that's when I first followed Brazilian teams like Flamengo, Vasco Da Gama and Sao Paolo. (The NTA also showed a Brazilian variety show called "Fantastico", which was also produced by O'Globo). They stopped showing Brazilian Football around 1984.

Brazilian Football was so popular that it reflected in the names of Nigerian football clubs. Nitel's football club was called Nitel Vasco and Stationery Stores' nickname was "Flaming Flamingo".


The NTA also showed "Football Made in Germany" in the late 1970s and early '80s. It was produced by Transtel Cologne and the commentator was usually Toby Charles. They stopped showing it around 1984/85 and started showing it again around 1990 when Germany won Italia '90. You could watch Akpoborire, Okocha and Yeboah on the NTA in the mid 1990s.

Segun Odegbami started his Serie A show on NTA2 Channel 5 in 1989 and you could watch the 3 Dutchmen at AC Milan, the 3 Germans at Inter Milan and the Ma-Gi-Ca combination at Napoli on Sunday mornings.

The NTA also often showed the English FA Cup final live in the 1980s, but they were not consistent.

The NTA started showing European Champions League matches in 1993. This was courtesy of Canal France International (CFI). I will never forget watching Barcelona (Romario and Stoichkov) destroy Manchester United 4-0.

Of course the NTA also showed Bournvita Match Of The Day (Nigerian League) in the 1980s.

There were quite a few Nigerians that supported English teams in the 1970s and '80s. I had an uncle that supported Sheffield Wednesday and another uncle that supported Liverpool (he played for Nigeria in the 1960s).

My uncle that supported Liverpool went to watch the 1986 FA Cup final and he told me what happened at the British High Commission when he went to get his visa. He wore his Liverpool scarf and luckily for him, the person that interviewed him was also a Liverpool fan, so they spent the time talking about the club and he got his visa.

By the way, Multichoice came to Nigeria c1993 when they bought over ABG's operations in Lagos, but they were not the first satellite TV or pay TV operation in Nigeria. Ultima and other companies were already selling satellite dishes since 1985, while ABG became very popular in 1990.
