Advantages: Everything about it, nostalgia of eighties childhood

Disadvantages: nothing but its not on anymore!! boo hoo

As a child of the eighties this has to be my all time favourite programme. I remember rushing my mum to get us home from church on time for our Sunday afternoon viewing of Land of the Giants, Knightrider, Lost in Space and best of all The A-Team!!

Even now I am sat here happily humming the theme tune to myself, and once-upon-a-time I actually learnt the opening monologue,

In 1972 (or as this was replaced by in later series, Ten years ago,) a crack commando unit was sent to prision by a military court for a crime they did not commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to th Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a probelm, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team!!! dedelede dedede....... *gunshots*** .....god I am getting carried away.

I know that many people have fond memories of this programme, you only have to type the title into a search engine and a million and one sites will appear. It is the sort of programme that always comes up in those, 'Kids programmes aren't the same as they used to be..' conversations that you have down the pub.

It's true, they aren't the same. How could they make a programme like this today? Nobody ever got killed and the good guys always won. Somehow they would always be imprisoned in a barn or warehouse and just like Blue-Peter presenters they would make something out of nothing. Usually an armoured car or tank out of little more than a few old bales of hay. I'm sure they used the same sequence every time, one of the guys sawing at something, another flipping down a welding mask and lighting a blow torch..... ahh I can almost see the legwarmers and puffball skirts and hear the electroinic twang of eighties music.

I say we should all petition for it to be back on tv again along with Are you Being SErved, Bagpuss and Button Moon, a
nd we should mount aterrorist threat against the Tweenies, Teletubbies and all that other drivel they pass off as kids entertainment nowadays.

BRING BACK THE A-TEAM!!!!!! (THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT MAKING A MOVIE OF IT, WHERE THE HELL WILL THEY EVER FIND SUCH AMAZING ACTORS, LIKE BA?!!!)
