This is driving me nuts. US series about troops in Vietnam and the title music was 'Paint It Black'

What was it called?

Tour of Duty

Remember watching as a youngster and being hooked. It was on an evening Mum was out so Dad and I watched it. Loved it!

Pait it Black was probably what got me into The Rolling Stones too.

Fairly sure it used to be a Friday night, Channel 4 about 11pm.

Then they moved it to something daft like 1am?

But yeah, used to love that program!

On the subject of late night TV - anyone remember Barney Miller?

Seem remember it being on late on ITV and then even later on ITV so hardly anyone saw it.

I thought it was funnier than a lot of peak-hour stuff.
