Night Gallery: Episodes 220-221 - Highlight was "You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore", which had some very interesting ideas about a couple of sadist who purchased android servants so they could indulge in perfectly legal physical abuse, and what would then happen once the androids developed a survival instinct.

Lethal Weapon Season 3 Episodes 1-3 While I am enjoying this, I do think they did Rigg's actor dirty

Night Gallery - Season 2, Episode 22. A pretty good finale, both segments were pretty creepy. "The Caterpillar" is about earwigs that tunnel into your brain and cause a horrible death, and "Little Girl Lost" is not a remake of the Twilight Zone episode like I feared, but is instead a story about the military playing along with one of their scientist's delusions so that he'll complete critical research.
One season to go.

Watched episode 1 of Babylon 5, as it's on Amazon Prime now. The Centauri hairdo cracks me the heck up. Started watching Agents of Shield, also. I do believe I've been sucked into this show.

On DVD, the classic 1977 BBC production of Treasure Island
Not only is this a cracking dramatisation of Stevenson's classic novel, it's also the definitive 'Doctor Who' fans' version: Produced by Barry Letts, directed by Michael Briant and brilliantly adaptated by John 'Marco Polo/The Aztecs' Lucarotti.
The lead actors are all familiar faces from TV dramas of the time with Alfred Burke an outstanding Long John Silver, and Flint's former crew of ruffians are a who's Who of the 60s/70s, including Patrick Troughton (no less!), David Collings, Stephen Greif and Brian Croucher, plus many more.
And the theme music stayed with me for 40 years between 1977 and the release on DVD; it's that good. A real classic.

Shamefully I've never seen that version! It is now - thanks to you - on the list! The most frustrating version I've seen is the film from 1972. Who on EARTH thought Orson Welles should be dubbed? Only one of the most famed voices of the century... I always think it fascinating that the "Arrr, Jim me lad" pirate accent we all do was a decision of Robert Newton in the Disney version of 1950 that hadn't been done before. It seems like thats the way pirates must always have talked on film but sure enough...any production of a pirate film before that will have RP, cockney, Scots, Irish and not that Pirate-cornish. Now every Pirate project uses that voice, even in this parish Bill Oddie's Red Jasper from DW& The Pirates..

Finished off TNG Season 7 and DS9 Season 2. Now since there's an in-universe 3 month gap before DS9 Season 3 starts, I'm turning all my focus back onto Narcos, where I'm in late season 3 of that. Watched episode 1 of Babylon 5, as it's on Amazon Prime now. The Centauri hairdo cracks me the heck up. Ooh it's been a few years since I last did a B5-verse watchthrough. Love that stuff, no matter how badly some of it has aged! Started watching Agents of Shield, also. I do believe I've been sucked into this show. Ha, the first 2/3 of season 1 is a little rough, but after that it gets really flippin' good! I especially like how the show basically reinvents itself every year.

Just marathoned Dark - Series 2 not quite as good as Series 1 but I like the dilemma of just how trapped the characters are. It's a very melancholic show, and just when you think you know what's happening the rug is pulled from under you.

The Centauri hairdo cracks me the heck up. IIRC the wig was supposed to go the other way around but Peter Jurasik flipped it upside down as a joke and they ended up liking it more that way. Does Amazon Prime have The Gathering pilot movie or just the regular episodes?

Finally figured out a way to watch my Blake's 7 DVDs, so started re-watching. So far I'm through series 1 episode 4. This morning I got to watch the episode with BRIAN BLESSED.

Enjoy! I think you'll like the voices in this version - a realistically motley crew drawn from across southern Britain, from cockney to Welsh, and out to Ireland too. Only Silver is prominently West Country and Bristol is his home port so that's fair enough (and he plays up the accent when he wants to appear affable and matey.)
And no 'arr-harring' to be heard - well not much anyway - and not even one 'shiver me timbers'!
As we'd expect from a John Lucarotti adaptation, Flint's old crew are seriously dangerous villains who mean business - if only they can stay off the rum long enough to do it.

John Lucarotti, you say? *waggles eyebrows with interest* I think I'll check this one out.

The Hot Zone Episode 1 Really enjoyed this, though they did seem to pad it out with breaks to make it an hour

I'm a bit rusty I think you'll like it, the overall 'BBC 70s' style is instantly familiar to classic Who fans - the mix of location filiming with studio video and the reprise at the start of each episode!
You can tell immediately it's a BBC drama from the same era as classic Who but with a much bigger budget which allowed filming in Corsica and France as well as the UK. And a very nice sailing ship.
