  9. Is there some sort of conspiracy to pick things that The Tribble would like ? That Intro and Outro is from the first season of The Tomorrow People. Part of my childhood. Two of the actors shown did not appear in the following seasons. The vanishing and re-appearing is called jaunting.
  10. Been on a binge of late. Got 7 Wrestlemanias that I did not have; a couple of Marvels that I did not have; one fantasy novel to complete a set; a detective work with supernatural elements and the book version of Is Paris Burning ?. Finished this off with a board game expansion Scoundrels of Skullport and a Banshees collection that I stumbled upon by accident.
  11. Wild Card Brainiac 5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainiac_5 EDIT: For the love of the Abyss can people not pick Gambit from the X-Men for the Wild Card option
  12. No one knows what it means, but it's provocative... No, it's not, it's gross... ...It gets the people going !
  13. The film is based on the book by Westlake but there is no-one called Dortmunder in it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_Shot
  14. Right I need a ruling on this I would like to pick Shadow Lass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Lass If not White Witch should be acceptable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Witch_(DC_Comics)
  15. Not as many this time. Spearhead series 1 This is from the late 70s and concerns a fictional army regiment and specifically 6 platoon. A non-com , Colour Sgt Jackson is put in charge of 6 platoon and has to cope with what the men and the officers think of him. Service in Northern Ireland and back in Britain going on leave, a soldier going AWOL to find his wife and his subsequent court martial, dealing with a thief and a soldier with an attitude comprise the season of 7 episodes. The Brides in the Bath Dramatised film of the Brides in the Bath killer George Joseph Smith who was tried for the murder of one wife and two other killings were attributed to him to show he had a system. Smith was a bigamist marrying 8 times in all. He was found guilty and executed. Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet played him. Bank Shot George C Scott is a bank robber sprung from prison to rob a bank that is based in a mobile home. Joanna Cassidy plays the backer and Clifton James as the prison governor tracking Scott down. This is a comedy and a lot of fun. Maigret Maigret and the Minister. A report is stolen from a government minister which has bearing on a recent tragedy when a sanatorium is destroyed by a landslide. The report criticised the planned building as being unfit for purpose. The report is stolen but who by ? It will embarrass the government and several people end up dead. Maigret also has other police departments looking into it. Maigret and the Mandman of Sainte Clotilde. This one has been adapted for different places on film and TV. Maigret observes someone jumping from a train and sets off after him but lands badly and ends up in hospital. A woman has recently been attacked so Maigret ends up staying to investigate. The solution is unusual as more than one person is involved. The Fly This is the original version of the film with David Hedison as the scientist who does the experiment and Vincent Price is his brother. It is cheap and cheerful and still works. 'Help me ! Help me !'; Mortuary After the death of her father a woman is menaced by a strange figure. The explanation is actually quite simple but the twist is that there might be a cult involved. Christopher George and real life wife Linda Day George feature as does Bill Paxton in one of his first roles. Deadly Instincts This has the Isle of Man standing in for Boston. A meteorite crashes in the grounds of a school in Boston bringing an alien and a woman with it. The alien needs to breed and so kidnaps women to do so. This is pretty bad. British actors trying to do American accents and failing. There are several plot holes like how did the woman end up with the alien to begin with. See once and despair. You will never complain about The Last Jedi ever again. Wrestlemania 35 Several stand out matches on the card. The highlights are Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan and the triple threat match between Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey and Becky Lymch. A J Styles had a singles match against Randy Orton and Roman Reigns returning from battling cancer faced Drew McIntyre. The Triple H vs Bautista match was a bit of a let down. Braun Strowman won the Andre the Giant memorial match with Carmella winning the Women's battle royal. The Miz vs Shane McMahon was alright. Samoa Joe took out Rey Mysterio pretty quickly in their title match. The Iiconics won the Women's tag team titles and Baron Corbin beat Kurt Angle in Angle's retirement match. The Usos retained their tag team itles and Demon Finn Balor beat Bobby Lashley for a title. Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesner in the first official match. Raw the following night was also shown on the third disc.

  21. Michael Culver who played Captain Needa in The Empire Strikes Back has died aged 85. He was also in the Cadfael series as the strict Prior. And in Secret Army's first two series he was the head of the Luftwaffe police. I once saw him in Hyde Park when there was a Japanese festival. He was playing Go as it was being demonstrated
