Another thought for screenings

Given the fact that there's an Avengers film about to hit the screens, a
Prisoner film in the making, Man From UNCLE being discussed..... etc.
How about a night of "cult TV" rather than a single film, maybe showing
classic episodes from the series being transfered to the big screen?

Sounds good, do we have episodes though?

I could probably arrange them

I have several episodes of Prisoner on long play. All of Sapphire and Steel on standard play. Lots of Twilight Zone on long play. Other cult stuff I'd have to check for.
What cult series would people want to see is possibly the first question we should find an answer for.

Sapphire and Steel...... (drifts off into thoughts of Sapphire in a
rather fetching balck number in the fifth story).... glad I'm not the
only one that likes that show, or even remembers it come to think of it!

Blake's 7 is under going a minor resurgance in popularity thanks to the
recent Sevenfold Crown radio play, so that might bring in a few people.

The Avengers might thanks to the film being made (even more people would
come if you advertised it with a shot of her from the epsiode "A Touch
of Brimstone", in her Queen of Sin get up)

The BBC version of "Quatermass and the Pit" is a classic, if a little
long. However, unfortunately I can't see loads of people turning up to
see it...

A Red Dwarf night with the new re-hashed episodes from seasons 1 & 2,
similar to the BBC night a short while ago maybe?

How about a Dr Who screening, either one of the classic ones or maybe
even one from the silly season for fun

A Bugs night?

Any other suggestions from anyone else?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.....[you get the idea]. I'd rather suspend you
from Founders Clock tower with hot wax & string than watch Bugs even though
the lead female actress is a bit of a babe.

Admittedly a lot of the episodes of the Avengers were more surreal than
sci-fi fantasy (including the episode that I suggested). However, there
were several episodes that would fall into the category of sci-fi /
fantasy such as "Man Eater of Surrey Green", "Invasion of the Earth
Men", "Escape in Time" and others whose names I have temporarily
forgotten. It all depends on what you define as Sci-fi / Fantasy, and
yes, I know we've had this debate already but as everyone seems to have
different views on the subject we don't need to start that one up again.

PS Your feelings about Bugs seem to be the same as my feelings about B5,
a programme that I'd rather spend the rest of my life eating Founders
food than watch.

such.

Are you talking about the secretary, or the alleged-computer-wiz?

She played Ros. In the last series she fell in love with some rich bastard while 'im from El Dorado fell in love with her. There was a cliifhanger at the end of last series with her getting kidnapped
Could someone please put me out of my misery for knowing that?

Yeah, the computer "expert", except in true "sad tv" style, being a
computer wizard involves things like "stick this disk in the drive,
and press the space-bar, and it'll crack their sophisticated
password-protection scheme and download all their secret files within
seconds, even though they're allegedly using some ultra-high-tech
military-grade encryption". All jolly realistic stuff, of course.

The best equipment for your work is, of course, the most expensive.

You'd be surprised just how easy some "security" systems are to
crack...... not that I'd know of course!
