Don't ask Trebor how much T.V he's got to watch.

I'm not so bad with T.V series as i'm generally a film watcher although i do have a few i need to watch.
I need to finish the last few episodes of Kolchak and Sapphire and Steel.

Also I have Some of the original Dark Shadows i need to watch and it's revival series.
Other than that i still haven't got round to watching Pennies from Heaven and Von Trier's Kingdom.
Oh and Manimal.

Actually scratch that, i just realised i've got a fair few kids shows i need to watch as i haven't seen them since i was a kid.

Battle of the Planets ( best of Australian dvd)
Groovie Goolies.
Drac pack.
And i got the second half of Star Fleet to watch too.

I've been on a bit of a downer since the weather changed so i may have to watch some of this stuff soon and cheer myself up with a sharp dose of nostalgia.

I did watch this a few weeks ago.

This is a show that passed me by at the time, i always remember seeing the film version on VHS on the shelves as a kid but never watched it.

I quite enjoyed this, the PQ is not too great as it looks as if it was shot on Video at the time, nevertheless it comes across as a mix of Yes Minister and Young ones.

It's quite surreal in places, with an inept U.S president Johnny Cyclops being advised by a devout Christian aide (Reggie Perrins C.J), an on the run Shah being 'helped' by his blindfolded servant who cannot look at his master and calls him increasingly stupid referential names.(yes oh Music of the spheres...Planet of the Apes...Top of the Pops. etc)

It also features John Cleese as a master criminal who is transporting a lost warhead across country using increasingly bizarre disguises and a useless group of U.K government MPs who eventually go completely mad and end up thinking they are DC superheroes.(with Geoffrey Palmer as Hawkman )

I takes a while to get into and is a bit slapdash, but i enjoyed this.
It also makes you realise that modern politics is as screwed up as it ever was and we actually seem to be going backwards, with a lot of 80's issues becoming relevant again. But enough of that bullshit.

7/10

I also finally watched the film as it's included in the set but this was not half as good as the series, a lot of the T.V stuff that worked is not even used and we are left with a much less effective film.
The Cleese character appears but is played by some non entity with zero charisma, and the U.S president is replaced by Hot Lips from MASH.

The only thing that really works in the film is Peter Cook as the U.K Prime Minister who has gone totally mad and is going on about Pixies and Goblins.

Been watching these shows.








You could say they are "horror" themed so can be part of the October marathon

The Ally McBeal/The Practice crossover. When one of their big clients is arrested for the murder of her husband, the team at Cage & Fish, who specialise in civil rather than criminal law, turn to another Boston law firm for help. This crossover two-parter demonstrates some incredibly skillful writing from David E. Kelley, taking a single plot across two wildly different shows (one a silly comedy series, the other a dark drama) and characters and making it not only come across as seamless but enormously entertaining to boot. This positively sped by, and did not feel like an hour and a half of my time.
