Hi-Jack, an episode of the 1950-51 Dick Tracy TV series. I'm a bit of a Dick Tracy fan and the series did star Ralph Byrd, the definitive screen Dick Tracy. Alas the plot is too conventional and it all looks a bit stodgy. A curiosity more than anything else.

Man from Atlantis (1977) was the first of four successful TV-movies, to be followed by an unsuccessful series. It's a reasonably interesting story about a water-breathing man from Atlantis stuck in the modern world. Features a fine mad scientist.

Venus Smith, the forgotten Avengers girl. She was Steed's partner in six 1963 episodes. Fascinatingly different from the other Avengers girls. She had zero combat skills but she was a useful agent. And quite charming.

The Interrogators, a great 1969 Tara King episode of The Avengers, written by Richard Harris and Brian Clemens. Christopher Lee guest stars. Starts with a British agent being interrogated by the bad guys, then the twists begin.

Oh man. This episode of The Sweeney doesnโ€™t just feature Patrick Troughton, it also has a certain distinguished gentleman playing a schoolteacherโ€ฆ

Lost in Space by Dave van Arnam and Ron Archer is as its name suggests a TV tie-in novel inspired by the classic TV series. It's not a bad sci-fi novel but it really doesn't have the feel of the TV series.

At the time Brian Clemens' tough gritty violent British TV spy series The Professionals attracted a lot of attention and some outrage. The 1979 3rd season is pretty strong with just one dud episode. Stylish and action-packed.

Immortalised as wise-cracking, monster-hunting reporter Carl in ABC's classic TV movie (1972), its 1973 sequel and the short-lived but beloved spinoff series (1974-75).

2/2

Hullo, fellow geeks!

Is anyone else a fan of ?

I feel it's a lost classic. I'd love to see it on some streaming service or a blu-ray but... nowt... ๐Ÿ˜ข

There was more to Rod, Jane and Freddy than simply playing as a support act for Jeffrey, Zippy, George and Bungle. Here, the musical mรฉnage ร  trois perform the soft rock ballad "Beat of your Heart". ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ’•

Dead Duck is an original 1966 novel inspired by the TV series The Avengers. It was credited to Patrick Macnee but was written by Peter Leslie. People keep dying and they've all eaten duck. An engagingly offbeat story with a fine crazy finale.

Thirty Three Years ago today saw the first ever edition of Twin Peaks on American television.
Like most things, my over empathetic self watched in parts -some I liked, some I loved, some scared me, and some hit too close to home.
But it definitely could use another re-run on free to air tv, all three series.
Don`t you think?

And I really love those tarot cards by Benjamin Mackey. Well out of my budget though.
