It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

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.Tried watching them. Just a bit too creaky for me. More 'school pantomime' than sci-fi drama
The character of Avon has to be one of the best anti-heroes ever created, and played to perfection by Paul Darrow. Worth watching for that alone IMHO.
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.

I've attempted it but it's just unwatchable. Not only because of the woke stuff but also because it's fundamentally crap.Funnily enough I watched the most recent episode of Dr Who, talk about trying too hard
The only time it was ever really any good was in the Pertwee/Baker years and even then it was only the Terry Nation stories that were above average.

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.Funnily enough I watched the most recent episode of Dr Who, talk about trying too hard

Most of the people I know are lefties and they don't like it either. Makes you wonder.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
