Fuck my hat!

That movie looks like a Hollywood version of Last of The
Summer Fucken Wine, with the budget blown on a luxury yacht
instead of the traditional bathtub on wheels.

Still, it beats "reality" TV.

Diverting slightly, I gather that plans are underway to make a feature film of the Six Million Dollar Man (and Woman).

A great series. :-)

I used to love this programme as a kid, them burds were hot!
Remember the one where the hippies took acid then the UFO landed?

The soundtrack was the thing that really worked for me. Used to love it when the UFOs were on the attack and the music rocked in. There are some great UFO vids out there which are making it onto DVD.

"Trainspotter" moment perhaps :?:

Nah.
The noise of the UFO still freaks me out a bit too.
It always came on the soundtrack just before you saw one.

Yikes ! Thats what I love about this forum. Started reading away and thought 'Yeah, spot on matey!' for every post. UFO was bloody brilliant, the sound for the UFO creepy, Six million dollar man was excellent and as soon as I heard the tune for the Saint I thought that 'his birds have big tits!' :grin:
