It lacks the mystery element of the original (but perhaps it has newer mysteries!) and it seems strange in a different era. But it still has Gene Hunt back. As long as they don't mention the Spectrum, it should be fine. :wink:

Hey, that was my first computer! I managed to badger my dad into buying it for me, saying it was for my school work, but of course it mostly got used for playing Atic Atac and Manic Miner.

I was having a go at The Sweeney, aka Jet Set Willy....!

I had the superior Commodore 64. :wink:

Still play the games on my emulator.

Edit: wait, how did the text of (presumably) Carl Stromberg's reply to my post end up under my name? - Kristatos

Ben Linus, perfect for a Bond villain. Or whatever the actor's real name is :)
I'd like to see him Christopher LLoyd and Christopher Walken work together on something.

At least we only have to wait a couple of weeks this year, instead of until July, like in previous years. I guess the Sci-Fi channel got fed up with losing viewers to Bittorrent.

After a ropey opener the second episode of Dr Who was a good one. I hope they can keep the quality up through the series.

I'm currently watching serial killer drama Dexter.

I love Dexter. Michael C Hall would make a great Felix Leiter.

Ex-IRA operative! That's in poor taste! I suppose they have been slightly rehabilitated with ther leadership of the No vote in the Republic of Ireland EU related referendum and with their powersharing government with former extreme Unionists in the North.

I've been watching some episodes of Home Improvement. It's a bit cheesy, but it always make me laugh when Tim Allen smashes up something with his modified tools.

Bones is pretty good.
I thought Agent Booth could have been a interesting Felix.

Guess it would be more of an issue over there.

sad thing is is her character could have been anything, didn't have to be ira. i but t was written as ex-ira and they cast her without making she could manage the accent ful time. after the second show she was "working on her american accent" ;) the irish accent never showed up again.

No the star of burn notice can do quite a wide range of accents. I remember seeing him first on touching evil and then on Mr Monk and the astronaut

I LOVED last night's episode of Bones. Though I hope they don't make that new character (who actually got fired) a permanent thing.
