I discovered in class last night (during which we were watching and discussing the episode "Bushwhacked," in between looking at political rhetoric and exploring The Martian Chronicles) that I have actually worn out my first set of FF DVDs. :::sigh:::
Totally unrelated question: Is there a reason The Equalizer isn't available on DVD yet?
Second totally unrelated question: I am trying to track down a copy of one specific episode of The New Professionals. I'm desperate for it. You don't happen to have any advice for me, do you? I would be so grateful for any suggestions! :) Thanks!
Wow! (I have yet to buy a set, I know I will watch them constantly when I do.)
The Equalizer DVDs... no idea; some bias against releasing shows starring Edward Woodward? << insert my Callan grouch here! >>
I can't help you on The New Professionals either, I'm afraid (I never watched it). The forums at The Mausoleum Club are my usual source for finding out what archive material is up for release.
Thanks! I share your Callan frustration, by the way. Edward Woodward (who is the common denominator between The Equalizer and The New Professionals, just to explain my train of thought earlier) don't get no respect, man. ::sniff, sniff::
The episodes I've seen weren't bad. Not quite as edgy as the original Pros, but hey, this was Edward Woodward, you know? So you cut it a little slack. I've never seen the New Pros episode with John Castle guest starring ("Hostage), though, which I've read is just remarkable. And since JC is one of my absolute favorite actors, I'm trying to round out my collection and get a peek of it. Anyway, EW made for a different kind of director of CI5 than Gordon Jackson had as George Cowley in the original Pros -- different but interesting.
I read a little about John Castle on your website; we've just been watching the Miss Marples again, he's particularly good in that (oh, I see he's in 'Reilly, Ace of Spies' - that's something else I must get round to watching).
I'll keep an eye out for the New Pros in case it turns up on one of the cable channels (hm, assuming you can cope with PAL video?).
