    Whilst we are on the Subject of old Bond like TV Franchises, what does everyone think of the old Mission Impossible TV Series? (Not the Cruise Chronicles Set of Films)

    The original Mission Impossible television show is one of my all-time favorites!
    "Felix Leiter, a brother from Langley."

    Anyone remember " Search " a spy show from the 70s. They had three agents
    With cameras in rings , I can only just remember it. :)

    Yes, "Search Control" it was called here. Hi-tech for its time, would probably look really dated now!

    :)) for a while I thought I'd made it up. I thought it was so cool a camera in a ring
    With a built in ear piece and I think they could send morse code with their teeth. :))

    And 3 different leads, each taking turns. That format seemed to be popular for a while but has died away.

    Barbel, did The Professionals back then run with scottish subtitles? :v
    President of the 'Misty Eyes Club'.

    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    I remember reading there was a cop show set in the east end of london. Which had to
    Be shown with subtitles in America, as due to the cockney accent House sounded like
    Ass to some americans. :))

    Hold on, are we talking about different things. I was on about the New Professionals. Awful and it was canned quickly. I didn't know they did a new MI series too, unless my mind has wiped it because it was that bad.

    Wasn't one of the original plans for Collins to play the Cowley/Woodward role? Saw him dropping heavy hints on a chat show with Bob Mills back in the day.

    I guess Lew didn't like the offer/realised the show would be crap/thought he could do better elsewhere. Delete as one feels applicable.

    I watched a recent programme on Gordon Jackson, in which Martin Shaw
    Said it was so funny whenever GJ had to fire a gun as he hated them. :))

    Needless to say I loved the saint ( and the return of the saint ) although the Saint does
    Look very dated now, the outside set was very small, can't imagine how I never noticed
    it as a kid. :)) but it's the same for many of those old 60s shows like. The Champions,
    Department S, Jason King etc. :D

    Isn't there going to be a Saint come back in Film Form?

    There is a pilot for a new tv show, but I don't think any network has bought it. Although
    it looks great with Sir Roger and Ian Ogilvy as old friends and foes of the new saint. :))

    Agreed, you'd think the saint would be a perfect character to be reinvented
    every so often for another generation.

    Just noticed on the titles of The Professionals that at the end the three lads are
    Walking from the same building Bond runs to, to try and stop the attack on M. :D

    I swear that my Estate is Haunted. Nearly twenty Years ago now, there was a Murder on this very Site (It was a Caravan Park before any houses were built)
