Well, apart from my Bad Joke that you ignored, I seriously doubt there's any carry over from the technicoloured ultra-camp 60's original. I did enjoy Gary Oldman in the 90s movie though. Until he inevitably got replaced by bad CGI. Sigh, those 90s, eh? |

I enjoyed the original. I remember repeats being shown on C4 after the Walton's on Sundays (which I did not watch). Also Land of the Giants. |

Also THE INVADERS! and OG Star Trek. I associate all of these with Sunday afternoon. Later on, Babylon 5 took the Sunday afternoon spot. |

It’s fab! There’s another one on BBC at the moment about the killing of Gianni Versace. It’s a bit different in form as there’s no courtroom aspect and not solely about that one killing, but does focus on one perpetrator. It’s worth looking at the comparisons between the cast and real people just to see how amazingly close theyve cast some people to their real life counterparts. |

In continuing "Chris watching Friends" news - the one with the wedding to ghastly Helen Baxendale is great - Hugh Laurie in particular. "By the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break". Also Jennifer Saunders. |
