Do not adjust your set. But was that really the pattern on Arthur Montford's jacket? And how white were Carol Smillie's teeth? It could be the talk of The Steamie or just plain murder.
The back catalogue of Scottish programme maker STV is getting the ubiquitous favourite-TV-shows treatment.
If it's Mrs Mack's cheery smile from long-running soap High Road, or you simply fancy a trip down memory lane, you need look no further than STV this Saturday.
STV's Top 30 Best-Loved Shows will showcase the public's favourite programmes in a one-off look back at the television moments that meant the most.
The nostalgic countdown, hosted by Kaye Adams, presents the most-loved STV programmes throughout the years, from iconic game show Wheel of Fortune and quirky drama High Times to real life crime series, Unsolved, in order of popularity as voted by STV viewers.
In a jam-packed programme, sure to jog even the foggiest of memories, producers have compiled a list of the nation's favourites based on viewers' top picks.
STV began broadcasting from Glasgow's Theatre Royal on August 31, 1957, so there is something for everyone.
Viewers voted for their favourite STV programme online and via text during November and December and the New Year programme features clips from the 30 classic STV shows.
The show is also packed with commentary from Scottish celebrities, including Carol Smillie, Glen Michael, Dorothy Paul, Alex Norton, Fred MacAulay and Tony Roper, as they share their favourite STV moments.
Kaye Adams said the programme is a "must-see" for young and old.
The countdown includes Scottish Women, the popular all-women discussion show she took over from Sheena McDonald.
"Going back 50 years in Scottish television means there are a lot of good shows in the countdown and it will be interesting to see which one makes it to number one," she said.
"My best-loved show is Francie and Josie because it meant a lot to me as a child, but I also loved A Sense of Freedom because I watched it when I was a teenager.
"It's a difficult choice but I think everyone has a favourite, one special programme they remember from their childhood or still tune in to. I hope people join me on the night for a celebration of STV favourites."
Although the programme features a lot of the "oldies", the former Loose Women host admitted that she is prone to indulging in reality TV.
"I love I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here," she said. "I find it so fascinating to watch it when the contestants get to the later stages of the competition. It's very revealing."
Ms Adams said Scottish television was going through a period of transition and that it was appropriate to look back on the programmes which have proven to be so successful in the past.
"Television in Scotland has had a slow period recently," she said. "In fact, television in general has gone through a turbulent time but the coming months are a time for optimism and this programme celebrates the old-fashioned favourites."
So if you have recorded every episode of gritty crime drama Rebus, or you followed Tom Weir's travels around the country in Weir's Way, make a date with the box and tune in to find out how well your favourite show fared in the STV chart. STV'S Top 30 Best-Loved Shows is on Saturday at 4.45pm on STV.
