Ha! Tales of the Golden Monkey, I loved that show as a kid. Very Indiana Jones. Baa Baa Black Sheep about the the Black Sheep Squadron and later called Black Sheep Squadron, set in the South Pacific in WWII was classic too.

And yeah Dark Angel was good at first til they stuffed it up. Ahh really good memories!

I have Threads, looks ................ old! I actually thought this was going to be something else, the program/movie i thought it was going to be is "The Day after" which is something else i'll look up.

I want to watch Deadwood and The Wire but dont think the wifey is going to watch it with me due to language.

I have seen the first series of Jerico and thought it was the closest thing to T2K we've seen, but i dont think the second series made it to australia.

The Wire was really good and yeah it has bad/street language but Deadwood takes the cake in the bad or filthy talk category. Funny as hell bad language though IMO. If Shakespeare had of wrote a western I reckon it would have been like that show! I think they really managed to capture the vernacular of those good ol' times. Very gritty stuff.

Chris Ryan's Strike Back was not too bad. A BBC series about an ex-SAS bloke. They are making another season of that later this year.

I've seen Strike Back. Good tv series. But i havent been a fan of Ryans books. Glad to hear theres another series of it coming.

Kidnap and Ransom was a 3 part teleseries that was good too.

Another one that just sprung to my mind is the reboot of Battlestar Galactica...

There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltec’s, or the Mayans, that they may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive somewhere beyond the heavens.
