Dallas has come to a premature end on UK Gold.

UK Gold only bought 5 series, though never mentioned it. I feel a bit cheated really.

Was this just publicity for the channel?

Here is a link for fans -

No, I'm pretty sure it's still there, right near Ft. Worth. If Dallas had gone missing it probably would have been on the news.

I live just north of Ft Worth. If Dallas was missing I doubt there would be a lot of complaints.Drive time to Louisiana would be a lot better too.

UK Goldare buggers they are always doing this.

I'm a Howards Way fan - they start series half way through, put it on in the earlyhours, stop half way through a boat race.......

It's not real - it's all P-R-E-T-E-N-D! They make it up - it's N-O-T R-E-A-L-L-Y H-A-P-P-E-N-I-N-G!

Thanks for that weelittledrummer. I'd never really watched that channel before.
Some other programmes seem to be repeated there ad nauseum.

My job involves interacting and communicating all day with people. It's nice to sit down and have a programme 'wash over you' - no intellectual demands, just good plot-lines and fascinating fashion.

It's funny how so much hinged on getting to a phone - very different now with mobiles and internet.


Of course it's real!

I think I heard about that show...was there a character named JR or OJ or something like that on it? Of course, I'm currently watching old videos of a BBC program that I understand nobody in the UK ever watched....

Someone probably trying to do you a favor by dropping Dallas!

Not real......

It may not be real for you, but if Charles Frere got hold of Relton Marine, what would you say then?

Try and take an interest in what's important. Avril Rolf has built that company up into what it is today.

The main reason I watch Howard's Way is that my ex-In-Laws lived, for many years, just a mile or two up the road from where it was filmed, so I get a kinda wierd kick watching for road-signs, pubs, houses etc. that I used to see while visiting. How's that for a saddo?

Oh, and I fancy the Howards' daughter as well.

Being from a boat-crazy family, we started watching Howard's Way. We quickly stopped when we realised there wasn't going to be any sailing involved!

well no, the idea is that you watch the tv...... I often wonder if Ellen MacArthur watched it, seeing as she lived so far away from the sea.

I think theres fair bit about boats. Its set in a boat yard.

heres something for bona fide fanatics:-

God now I've read above my life is over.. i thought they had stopped the re-runs just for over the half term but now I discover its permanent!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh Big Phil... Dallas was my life. 8 years ago i watched all of them bar the last 4 when I went into hospital to have my baby and husband was told not to reset the video. He did and i never found out what happened at the end. And now its happenning all over again.........................

I've been enjoying the reruns of Tenko on UKTV History - last one today... missed it when it was on the BBC about 25 years ago.

It looked like the sun always shone there but in reality only the first and last few episodes were filmed in Singapore and the islands - the majority of the series was filmed in a sand quarry in Dorset, not that far from where MonkeyWorld is now.

Hard series to watch, but Tenko was much better than Dallas.
