Anyone remember Tripods? Big mahoosive three legged alien robots searching for humans so they could programme them with a square bit of metal fitted to the scalp. 
 

must have been around 1982/3. Set in France.

Alias Smith and Jones…had a giant picture of Pete Duel on my wall as a kid. Sadly killed himself after finding fame.

 

Dukes of Hazzard…wonder who they’d get to play Daisy Duke now. Those legs certainly ain’t insured for $1m now.

Classic scene of Yosser saying to GS, "I look like you."  "And Magnum"

Was it Sammy Lee in the scene also?

Didn’t Yosser actually say to Souness, ‘You look like me’?

Strike it lucky but with amazing prizes, or at least some amazing prizes.

 

Bigger jackpot money too. And I don't just mean bigger due to inflation. I mean bigger amounts despite inflation

Hannibal with Mads Mikkelson.  

 

What a show that was. He is genuinely one of my favorite actors. Sadly you could tell when they were informed it was getting cancelled as the last season rushed through his story.

 

Was a very well cast show.

It was great and he was brilliant, as you say the cast was good too.
I just think it might have been too gory, different and dare I say cerebral for an American audience?

“ millennium “ was a great sci fi / supernatural / horrors series from the creator of “ the x files “ ! It fell under the radar 

 

I really enjoyed Millennium. It rode the coat tails for the X Files well and had a big following during it's first/second season.

As the title says, are there any tv series you would like to see remade? I found episodes of Blake's 7 on YouTube and thought it would be a prime candidate for a reworking. Quality story lines but obviously quite dated now. 

 

 

 


As long as they dont spent too much on it, its beauty was the half arsed effects and poor acting.

Minder, Blue Thunder / Airwolf, The A Team - 100% yes

 

Boys from the black stuff might be hard, that is very period, people may not get it. (although with the way the UK is going they may get an insight soon)

I believe TTSP was redone a few years ago.

Great shout, but Deering and the Princess will be "toned down" or simply non binary.

Saying that, Billions has a no binary person who is also in John Wick 3.
