My favourite of the originals was the one with the guy who liked reading books, you remember that one?

Time enough at last? The guy who's reading his books after a nuclear war or something? So many classics

The one where he goes to kill himself but then sees a destroyed library and after piling all the books up sits down to read one and breaks his glasses? Genius

I've never watched them apart from a few when I was a kid. They aren't written by rod serling are they? Think he wrote most of the original ones. Did you ever watch Hitchcock presents? Used to love that when I was a kid

Yes I watched a few repeats of Hitchcock a while ago. Enjoyed it.

Regarding TZ 80s, the likes of Wes Craven and George R R Martin wrote or directed a few. It has the likes of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and a ton of actors you’ve seen as secondary characters in popular films.

YouTube has every episode

Agree with all of that and you need to add in the fact, that when you think that Ashley Walters and Kano, weren`t originally actors and have gone onto become two of the best young British actors around.

My only small gripe, is that the lack of police involvement isn`t realistic, as the Police would have undercover squads and surveillance all over them.

if it was realistic they'd have paid them off

And the blatant Twilight Zone copy; The Outer Limits.
I always had a soft spot for The Invaders - a Quinn Martin Production...gotta get that ego name plug thing in.

Lots of Actors went on to bigger things via TZ etc Elizabeth Mongomety and Charles Bronson spring to mind

Any good or what lad x

Excellent mate. Joe Cole is very good as Harry Palmer and Lucy Poynton is very easy on the eye which always helps. She really suits the 60s styling.

It's a much watch if you're into the old style Deighton/Le Carre/Forsyth cold war spy stories. It isn't in the slightest bit gung ho if that's your thing though.

Bit of Picard at the moment for me and enjoying This Is Going To Hurt on the Beeb each week. Got the NHS nailed.

This is Going to Hurt, has really flown under the radar.

It`s been hilarious and truly tragic in equal measure and having read the book, is it`s equal in every way.

This current government should be made to watch all of it.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Me and the Mrs watched Tiger King: The Doc Antle Story last night. Only 3 eps so doesn't go on and on.

If you thought Joe Exotic was bad.. ?

Also that 'Bad Vegan' is worth a watch.

Thanks for sharing that mate. Got 10 days of rain out here in Spain so need to fill my time unproductively somehow

Yellowjackets.

How can something with such an interesting premise be this boring?

Love that one. Think it was Burgess Meredith iirc

I'm liking vikings valhalla more than the original vikings i must say, and i really enjoyed that.

Original Vikings had Lagertha.

Valhalla must be unreal if it can top that!
