![]() ![]() A bit of a mixed bag for me: It was nice to be back in that universe, they evoke that well. Mark Carroll I'll get around to Moon Knight soon but I finally got to Obi-Wan.Andor took a long time to get going (5 eps) but was marvellous by the end.Īs you may have guessed, I’ve not really been. TMINE Obi Wan got better as it went on, although I liked the initial Leia moments.What have you been watching? Including The Umbrella Academy and The Terminal List I did like Sandman, will be glad to watch the next season, plenty more good than bad, and adapted to the screen rather better than I feared, also not much. Mark Carroll Wow, that is even less television than I.See, everything’s linked.Īnd here’s the entire pilot episode, which I might watch at my convenience, too. Here’s an old promo for it: in case you recognise the voice, it’s the guy who did the voiceover at the start of… The Invaders. “Let me get this straight – you want me to steal.” If you want to know more, there’s a lovely Cinema Retro article on it.īut what I do know right now is that it had a weird – but very cool – old title sequence: I never watched any of this – way before my time – but I am intrigued to learn that Fred Astaire popped up during the third season playing Alistair Mundy, Alexander’s father who is also a master gentleman-thief. Sounds a bit like White Collar, doesn’t it? They’re both the properties of 20th Century Fox. He takes the deal and for over two seasons, steals things for his SIA boss Noah Bain (Malachi Throne) – who later turns out to be the police detective who caught Mundy in the first place He’s in prison when the US government’s SIA (secret intelligence agency) proposes a deal: steal for the government in exchange for his freedom. Īnyway, It Takes A Thief (originally called Magnificent Thief) starred Wagner as cat burglar, pickpocket and thief, Alexander Mundy, who steals to finance his playboy lifestyle. And I’m doing It Takes A Thief this week, so ner. Easy.Īctually, I could have done it with Switch, as well, which Glen A Larson created, Donald P Bellisario wrote for and Robert Wagner starred in, but that would have been way too easy. So that’s Tales of the Gold Monkey linked to It Takes A Thief. Oh, and Stefanie Powers guest-starred on the episode Fortune City. Well, it was It Takes A Thief, one of whose producers was Glen A Larson, and which starred the then movie actor… Robert Wagner. ![]() Then there was Hart to Hart, which was created by neither of them, but starred Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers. He learnt his craft working with Glen A Larson, creator of Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica and, of course, Manimal. That was created by Donald P Bellisario, who also created Magnum, Quantum Leap and various other shows. We’ve done a lot of ‘cult’ American TV shows over the last few months and that gives us a certain set of building blocks to work with. ![]()
