Yes to all of the above this one though had the biggest impact in me yooth given that it was to replace the greatest show on earth - Man from UNCLE. Everyone watched it to see if it could.

Discussing this at work last night. extended tea-break? Well . . . yes. Actually it was coffee but that's being picky. It was interesting that there were literally hundreds that were mentioned according to each generation. We also had a discussion on Star Trek - which is your favourite series/film/etc. I came down on the side of Deep Space Nine if only because the fact it was set in a space station open to all to visit, even Cardasians, so the plots for each show were not just centered around a few characters as in other series. Damn fine theme music as well. That's a nother thread we could explore - your favourite alien from a science fiction film/book/tv series

Patrick McGoohan was the ultimate in cool he was captivating as Longshanks in Braveheart. On the other hand Wilfrid Brambell as Steptoe scared the hell out of me I googled him and came up with this - not sure if it's true ;D "In 1971 he was due to play the role of Jeff Simmons, bass guitarist with The Mothers of Invention, in Frank Zappa's film 200 Motels (a bizarre piece of casting, since the real Simmons was young, long-haired and American) but left the production after an argument with Zappa"

There might be only me and maddog that remember this one ;D And the years roll back! This was an all time favourite of mine as a kid. I was but a sprog when the family went to the Ideal Home Exhibition, or something similar, at Olympia in London and the cast were there on a stand as guests. Apparently I was most pissed off miffed that they were not in costume

Don't have a you tube version on hand but just wondering who of my age and era in America will remember the very pioneering commercial, in about...hmmmm...maybe 1970-72 of Muhammed Ali...an African-American draft dodger...selling Sears Die hard auto batteries to white America? It showed Ali in a big, puffy parka, in the snow, holding up the car battery...and then he says: It;s me, Ali, in Alaska...to tell you about etc etc etc....it was so cool the way he said It's me...Ali,,,and he dragged out the vowels in Ah-lahs-kahhh....( the bit was filmed in a Colorado snowstorm...Fraser. Colorado--famous for cold so a good bet for snow on call......anyone remember that one?

Loved all those old westerns to a certain degree Bunker. The Lone Ranger was a firm favourite although I've always felt deprived as I remember missing the episode, where he was "unmasked", due to a family "do" and have regretted it since I was a nipper.
Some rollicking ones
Think with Moon Zero Two many funny fags were consumed

Although probably lacking in the age department, I believe this version of the Twilight Zone came to the air in about 84 or 5, it is automatically my favorite intro for the simple fact that the theme music is interpreted by the Grateful Dead. Forget which of the guys said at the time something to the effect of , "After all, who has spent more time in the Twilight Zone than the Grateful Dead?" Pretty sure that was Mickey Hart and to my inner ear it is pretty choice all 52 seconds of it www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gghs-OZiXo
