Will Smith and Gary Barlow Do The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Rap

Take That, Fresh Prince I already like Will Smith. Gary Barlow’s stock just went up in my book.

Out of Fleming’s pages And more than 50 years ago—nearly 60, in fact—Barry Nelson starred as James Bond in Casino Royale for CBS-TV.

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?

Mr & Mrs Smith Wonderful, short-lived series from the mid-1990s, about two spies working for private interests, sometimes pretending to be a married couple, using the code names Mr & Mrs Smith. Not all the episodes were great, but the good ones were very good. Then along came a movie which allegedly was not a remake of this TV series, with the same basic plot, and for some reason everyone remembers the copy.
