Worshipping at the altar of the great glass God!

[Wayne]

Fair comment.

[Ralph]

I guess I've always had a bit of nostalgia for it too as it was the first Bond movie I saw at the cinema. Having only seen by that stage the Connery movies on TV I quickly realised it had taken a new direction.....

[Wayne]

Funnily enough, i watched about 10 minutes or so of 'Never Say Never Again' on one of the Freeview channels a couple of weeks ago. I've only seen it once all the way through, but i didn't think much to it. What was Connery doing returning to Bond at that age? He looks far too old in it!
Mind you, Kim Basinger looked alright.

[Ralph]

NSNA is one that I've always felt disappointed by - it seems as Carol says in her Vervoid review like a cheap TV movie. He should have definitely left it at Diamonds as I thought overall it wasn't a bad finish. Yes he was too old I agree and I think Roger should have bowed out with TSWLM which I still think is one of the all time best. And yes you expect lots of eye candy in a Bond wouldn't be a Bond otherwise! Thank god the political correctness hasn't taken that away yet!

[Logo Polish]

The irony is that for all the gags in NSNA about Sean Connery's Bond being a bit long in the tooth, Roger Moore, the then-current Bond, was/is 3 years older than him.

Red Dwarf III: Backwards [with audio commentary] in bed last night...

Thing is, I fell asleep at the start of Marooned, and woke up during The Last Day

[Wayne]

I see 'Carry On Emmanuelle' is on tomorrow/tonight.
It's supposed to be crap isn't it?

With a capital C, yes. It's far worse than Carry on England, and that's poor enough.

[Pip Madeley]

At least Emannuelle has some frontal nudity to make you persist with it - England is just a relentless hurricane of piss-poor comedy that even Kenneth Connor can't save.

Meanwhile, I've been watching:

Is Benny Hill Still Funny? (pointless)
The Vicar of Dibley Xmas Specials (tired)
What The Pythons Did Next (pointless)
The Secret Life of Brian (fantastic)
'Allo 'Allo: Series 5 Volume 2 (DVD)

[Jonno]

I've only seen Emanuelle once to date, but I'd say it's much better than England, which was the absolute nadir of the series. There's some good stuff in a scene where you've got four of the characters around a table swapping anecdotes.

[Wayne]

I've never seen it, (or 'England') so i'll probably give it a try. Even if only for Pip's reasons.

We've been watching and enjoying immensely the Star Trek Animated Series. It's very underrated. The stories are very good and much better animated than i remember, even if the theme is slightly wrong.

Interesting.
Have you got the dvd's Si? Or is it on tv on some sattelite channel or something?

[SiHart]

I bought the DVDs for Steve for Christmas. It's a good set.

I'm surprised I haven't seen them since the mid 70s and I suppose it seemed a poor substitute so I kind of dismissed them back then. Still not tempted to buy the DVDs...

[Wayne]

Not seen them since i was a kid. I'd like to see them again just for the fun of it, But i'd probably only buy them if they were really, really cheap.

[Ralph]

pretty much my thinking on it

[Wayne]

Just thinking of the theme tune & voiceovers makes it tempting though. I might amend my previous statement from 'really really cheap', to just: 'really cheap'.
Just had a quick look: RRP is 40. Cheapest on-line price is: 27 at 'Foxy', who i've never used. Cheapest one i've used is DVDCO.UK at 29.
It would have to be half price or under for me to buy i think.

[Pip Madeley]

Give it a few months, I'd say, it's only been out a month.

Does Shatner do his own voice, I wonder?

[SiHart]

Yes Shatner does his own voice. All the original cast are back, except Walter Koenig. They couldn't afford them all, so they got rid of the expendible one!

Si xx

[Pip Madeley]

Hurrah!

Anything with Shatner's unique delivery is worth a hurrah!

He was always my least favourite anyway Keptin!

[SiHart]

They let him write an episode. It has giant Spocks in it.

[Wayne]

I think i vaguely remember that one. Sounds like fun!
