Ten Northern Ireland TV programmes from yesteryear

In the years before Netflix and Amazon Prime, when our televisions had no more than a handful of channels, locally made programmes were beamed into our homes, bringing local voices to our screens and launching many careers.

With most of the content being produced at either the BBC's Blackstaff studios or UTV's Havelock House, you never knew who you would bump into if you were walking down the Ormeau Road or Ormeau Avenue.

As satellite and cable TV took over and more channels became available, we sadly saw a decline in the number of locally produced programmes on our screens.
