Porsche 928 Whatever happened to the great cutaway? Made car magazines worthwhile when I was younger.

Illya Kuryakin meets Purdey Love this series, though as a kid it freaked me out. The last link cited below makes for interesting reading.

aconitum-napellus:

Sapphire and Steel. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. 1979-1982.

‘All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic, heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available: Gold, Lead, Copper…Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel. Sapphire and Steel, have been assigned.’

Who cares that Sapphire and Steel aren’t elements? It was an awesome, terrifying series.

The New Avengers in French I always prefer it when the producers of the original take the time to produce titles for export, ensuring that the typography matches. But did Jo Lumley wear bottes de cuir that often?

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

Don’t worry, Miss Without reading the clapper board or the notes, I knew this was The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Brilliant film. The remakes showed that you can’t beat Walter and Robert. Not even Edward James Olmos, Denzel and John can do it.

You get the feeling they aren’t speaking to each other here.

Escorts Unlimited This is ‘Blind Run’. The lads are just being alert, especially with so many villains driving cars from the Ford press fleet.

Barbara & Steve McQueen, 1979
my shot from “A Tribute to the King of Cool”

Toward the end I can’t remember which number wife Barbara was. But by then, it seemed Steve had chilled out a lot since the crazy days.
