A FORCE OF ONE: PROBE FORCE ONE NOSE LOOKALIKES

I'm seeing Project SWORD Probe Force tips everywhere - especially Probe Force 1 lookalikes! 

Pointed red noses with small side wings and hey presto! Are they basically Nike Missiles?

Have you got anything like that readers?

CLASSIC BURKE'S LAW BACK ON TV

For viewers in the UK Freeview channel 81, Talking Pictures TV are showing the original series of Burke's Law, starring that ol' smoothie, Gene Barry.

Readers of TV Century 21 should remember Captain Amos Burke of Homicide very well, as he featured in the first 51 issues of the comic, as well as in a couple of specials and the first TV Century 21 Annual.

I loved the series as a kid, with its glossy look, tongue in cheek humour and A list (for the time) guest stars.

Gene Barry was perfect as the suave and immaculately dressed  Amos Burke, who always unmasked the killer each week, and invariably got the girl.

Although, it was a popular series in the sixties it was filmed in black and white which isn't something modern mainstream TV channels are keen to broadcast feeling that it might put off younger viewers, which is a shame as a lot of these old black and white series are pretty good. Ask most Voyage..  Man from Uncle or even Avengers fans about their thoughts on those particular series' original black and white first seasons and most will invariably  say they are better than a lot of their respective later colour episodes.

Burke's Law did return in colour in the nineties, with an ageing Gene Barry reprising his role as Amos Burke. It was reasonably popular, but like most remakes, when it comes to choice the original was best.

I did write an article for the blog about the show a while back so if anyone is interested please take look.

In that article I do say that, although I was happy to see Burke's Law in the TV Century 21 comic I thought it was a little incongruous to find the strip featured. However, that mystery seems near to solving having recently seen A.P. Films and Century 21 head of merchandising, Keith Shackleton who mentioned that several American series were given publishing licenses to  Gerry Anderson's company, as part of a deal to publish a Supercar comic in America. It leads me to think that Burke's Law was among those series.

I'M GONNA SPEND MY CHRISTMAS WITH A DALEK

With the nights drawing in, I'm reminded that it's now less than two months to Christmas. So with that in mind here's The Go Go's singing 'I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek', which, I have to say is absolutely awful!

SOME EAGLEMOSS DALEKS

It's about time I took a few updated photos of the latest additions dealing with  Dalek and Dalek related models that form part of the Eaglemoss collection, but before I do here's some old photos I took a while back.

The Supreme Black Dalek as seen The Chase and The Dalek Master Plan.

The Dalek as seen in the rebooted series.

The Dalek Emperor as seen in The Parting of The Ways. Technically I should have it surrounded by Imperial Guards.

The Supreme Red Dalek as seen in The Stolen Earth and The Magician's Apprentice.

Hi,

Having seen the recent mention on the blog of the Airfix kit of the Hawk spaceship from Space:1999, I thought I'd photograph mine, which I assembled years ago. It is quite a rare kit now.

Take care,

Kevin

HALLOWEEN DEATHSTAR AFTER PARTY FILM SHOOT

It's the Halloween Filming After Party down at Moonbase. After a gruelling schedule all three actors let their hair down [Frankie dropped his kecks one more time for good measure] and got down to some serious mystery traction and vamp 'n' go. At around 2am they took their batteries out and got back in their boxes.

Did you have a pleasant Halloween readers? What did you do?
