    Review Curb Your Enthusiasm

    This is such a great show. Larry and Susie head to head shouting matches are legendary. Warning ; strong language

    Review Strange Report (1969)

    An ITC series that sort of went under the radar and unlike other shows of this ilk went through turbulent production that killed it after 16 episodes. Anthony Quayle and Dr who star Anneke Wills lead as agents in a rare commercial flop for ITC. But having watched it, it is really very good.

    Fun Cricket

    Okay lets go through how a five day test match i.e. England vs. Australia might be played out. This is an imaginary example and I'm assuming you've watched the attached vids to get a basic of the game. How a match unfolds in a five day match . Day One; Team A bats first and at the end of day...

    Fun Cricket

    So the Ashes starts with a whimper really. Solid scoring from England but really slow. The Ashes is immune from the withering on the vine suffered by global test cricket, but many more days like this and it won't be. England have set out to draw this first game, so I can understand why as going...

    Review McMillan and Wife (1971)

    God I used to love this as a kid. Brings back family memories too. My mother used to go wild over Rock Hudson, my Dad not be left out used to like Susan St James. They don't make them like this nowadays.

    Review Magnum.P.I (1980)

    I must admit I've only started watching this, yeah 30 years late. I'm still going through series 1, but I'm enjoying it.Totally taken in by the recently deceased John Hillerman , I thought he was a Brit. Accomplished performance from him and Tom Selleck.

    Review The Invisible Man (1975)

    Just been through this 70's goodie again. Real enjoyable and David McCallum was perfect. Very neat stories with the invisibility used correctly, not overused.

    Review The Incredible Hulk (1978)

    OMG who can forget this classic. Bill Bixby was great in this as was Lou Ferrigno.

    Review The Six Million Dollar Man (1973)

    Like the way Steve Austin was portrayed as running really fast by showing him in slow motion. Never had a man ran so fast so slowly.

    Review The Ambassadors of Death (1970)

    We love Classic Who because it allows a story to breathe, to develop, each one a mini series of sorts . The problem here is that the story is very thin. Astronauts captured by Aliens used as bargaining chips for ambassadors held captive by right wing trigger happy army idiot in cahoots with gang...

    Review Time and the Rani (1987)

    Wow, fans exist who like this rubbish. It's IMO a wretched start for McCoy, a doctor I do like a lot. But his opener is awfully acted, Kate O'Mara is wasted, and dear Bonnie doesn't help, and the creatures The Tetraps or whatever are just laughable, bring back the Mandrels. The worse bit is the...

    Review Card Games

    Further clarifications, Common errors, pictures can only be paired off. If you have a Jack on the table and two jacks in your hand, you can not put one on top the one on the table and say " jacks", hoping to use the third one. You also cannot take a 3 and 7 on the table put them together and...

    Review Card Games

    Clarifications; Building, Aces are valuable, one point each, so if one is on the table and you've one in your hand, take it quickly. But if you have two aces in your hand, then if you know for sure the fourth is already gone, then you can take all three. Put one from your hand on top of the one...

    Review Card Games

    Casino is a game I was introduced to as a kid, a game popular among the Jewish community. It's a great game, quick, fun, and I recently introduced it to my nephews and now they regularly wipe the floor with me when we play. It takes a bit of explaining so here goes. Ideally for two players only...

    Review Enlightenment (1983)

    An interesting story. The Eternals fascinate me. They are obviously eternal, but Wrack says as they don't exist in time no time could see them cease to exist. Well, they obviously do exist in time because they're interacting with the Ephemerals. It would suggest that time is as "B" theorists...
