Better than the shite they are throwing out nowadays.

Ahhh but the book was soooo much better

I agree, I think its about time I re-read some of his books

Hmmmm Midwitch Cuckoos, and Day of the Triffids along with Chocky were my favs

I don't remember Chocky but I remember Stig of The Dump, we read that at Junior School.

sometimes on PBS they show British TV. i have to be honest with you- i just don't get it at all. that island you are all one does something to your brains and makes you find the strangest things humorous. i sincerely doubt Chocky would have even made it to a pilot episode here... wait a minute, we had ALF for Christ's sake. that's gotta be some of the worst entertainment imaginable

Its a long time since I read the books but I do remember liking the 'kraken wakes' and 'the trouble with lichen'

ahh I think you hit the nail on the head there DS. Chocky wasn't exactly funny, but so badly made that it was....
As for Alf.....hmmm (no offense Alf) well......... U also gave us Different strokes.......
What can be said not much but hey we're eccentric...... or mad

Druss I don't think I got round to reading those

DSchwartz,
I have to disagree with you. I think ALF was a great show. I was a little kid when i first seen ALF. I learned alot of great stuff and got good advice. Advice that I still use today. It works!!

no offense, Alf. i was just picking a sub-par show out of a hat. i could have just as easily said Busom Buddies or Love Boat

if you use advice from Alf that is fabulous. i take it you don't own a cat?

DSchwartz,
None taken. I just wanted to share my views on the subject of ALF. Yes, i do have cats, and no, i don't eat em. Though, i'm still eager to try some chocolate turkey.

I love British humour...

How can you top series like Fawlty Towers and Monthy Python's Flying Circus?

Or Blackadder for that matter.... it all rocks...

I have to agree with Phantom I love british Humor .

Monty Python , Faulty towers , Black Adder (who knew Rowan Atkinson would look good in a pair of tights )and more recently Black Books . Very funny twisted Humor

Here's one of my favorites from when I was a kid . Goodies make sure you check out the calendar
