They did, I am probably biased as I don't really like time travel things normally. I thought Bodies was clever but never really my cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 2 hours ago, XTreme said: I'm not that keen on the futuristic sci-fi ones......I'm into the going back in time to try and change things type of stuff. Though it pisses me off that the Yanks always have to have them based on stopping the JFK assassination. There's plenty of other bad shit they could try and stop. And what about a Brit one going back in time to stop the Farage and Bozos? And obviously Thatch as well. Throw Savile in too! Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes were great examples of how to do it, but the all time greatest has to be the original of "The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor from 1960. I saw that as a young kid and I was hooked on time travel from thereon. Not interested in any other sci-fi. Back in time always has the edge IMO, just because the old cars, clothes, attitudes and reminders of the way things were done before modern machinery or tech arrives on the scene always draws me in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am teaching someone to sew right now and he seems to have a good grasp of construction, good manual dexterity and is a fast learner so i think I might have time to start watching that while they grapple with basting a sleeve into an armhole. I’ll save ‘Dark’ for laters, it sounds like something I’d have to pay attention to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attention to detail for that era, not just cars and fashions, but speech, attitudes, music etc is incredible. Life on Mars ranks right up there with The Prisoner in terms of great TV. Ashes to Ashes wasn't as good, but it did have an epic ending when all was revealed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought there would have been some repercussions of an unpleasant nature. I did really enjoy it, it’s def worth a watch but it does lean very heavily into the the whole Godfather mobster glam side of it and totally gloss over the real cost of pain and misery they cause, the threats of violence and the extortion that wreck a lot of peoples lives and businesses. It was a lot of snappy 30 second sound bites pasted together but even so very entertainingly done. Feckin loved the lock picker in the cardboard box idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
