Minder. I Could Be So Good For You. Dennis Waterman.

If I ever do Karaoke again, I'll do that.

Good to see you've still got ambition, John. ;)

Five seconds before an extinction-event-sized asteroid smashes into planet Earth, I'll be thinking I'll never hear that song again... every cloud, eh? :)

Probably still over-reaching Tim. :(

Amazingly funny programme, for all the wrong reasons...

Lord Brett Sinclair shows his mastery Of French "Nous Sommes Arrive" (the only line of French he ever used - and frequently)

/agree - But the theme tune was alright. Also, I remember watching an episode that got me fairly spooked. Something about a guy getting killed with a remote- controlled toy-tank. I exclusively played with my Lego for the next two weeks.

It was one of those shows that are often parodied (notably in Harry Enfield's 'The Playboys'), where whenever the action is taking place in Paris, you know it's Paris because you can see the Eiffel Tower out of every window. :D Roger Moore has never been more camp than in this show.

It would be an impossibility. The camp-o-meter would explode. Although Jason King runs him close.

Ah, yes, sad about Peter Wyngarde... caught with a trucker in a Gloucester bus station toilets. He was Alan Bates' bloke for 10 years as well...

I knew something was up when they asked me to unscrew the light bulb fittings. :O

UFO.

I love Ironside as well.
