I can forgive the creakiness as the rest of it is so good. I mean it's space opera, not science fiction, so you have to suspend disbelief and get into the sprit of it.Quote:

Plus it's proper telly, meaning it's sole purpose is to entertain, not to push some tragic woke agenda.
A couple of years back Benedict Cumberbatch was talking about doing a film version. He would play Avon and Tom Hardy was attached to play Blake.
Doesn't seem to have moved on any further though which is a shame.
Anybody noticed the Verisure Alarms TV advert? The two guys in it sound like Julian Clary impersonators.
Funnily enough I watched the most recent episode of Dr Who, talk about trying too hard:(Quote:

We gave up on it after Matt Smith. For a kids program it was surprisingly good I thought. I consider myself a lefty but don't like this woke stuff either.Quote:
