Welcome, to Fantasy Island!
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

yeah I do, but not tv series boxes - I can't think of a single series I would watch over and over again. Not even 24, which I adore.
I have about 40 box sets and a couple of hundred other miscellaneous dvds. Boxsets include Alien Quadrilogy, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Tarantino, Will Hay, Norman Wisdom, Orson Welles, Godfather, Steve McQueen, Carry On, Bogart, Superman, Chaplin, LOTR, Scorsese, Die Hard...the list goes on and on.
Back to kids tv...Did anyone understand the Adventure Game? I loved that programme...

that was the thing with the aspidistra, right? bit too abstract for me, I couldn't do any of the puzzles.
I highly recommend a children's series from the 80s produced by the BBc and particularly appealing at Christmastime, The Box of Delights, from the story by John Masefield (former Poet laureate and native son of N Staffordshire) I have it on BBC video although I'm waiting for a dvd release. We watch it every Christmastide and it's one of those productions that really makes it feel like Christmas. Full of well-known British character actors and familiar faces too. And one of the few *modern* stories that I know of that features Herne the Hunter as a major character.
dog - Will Hay? The Goose Steps Out is one of may all-time fav comedy classics!
along with Ask A Policeman, Oh! Mr Porter, and Where's That Fire? Along with Chaplin's Great Dictator and anything by The Three Stooges.
I'm a big fan of Ealing comedies such as The Lavender Hill Mob, Passport to Pimlico, and The Ladykillers (original not the new American one)
which leads me nicely into Carry On! I have most of the really good classic ones, and I never get tired of Carry On Up The Khyber, Carry On Cleo (infamy, infamy...they've all got it in for me!) and Carry On Screaming (frying tonight!) I'm sure the mysteries of Carry On are lost on our Amurricun colleagues though!

Just to get the off topic element out of the way first,
@Esqui:
@Grom: Now I should love Mr Scorsese but I often find his visual form very hard on the eye. Taxi Driver being an obvious culprit. Fantastic movie and very effective but not something I look forward to watching time and again. In Once Upon A Time in America the scene between DeNiro and Tuesday Weld in the car after DeNiro gets out of prison is one of the few scenes which haunt me. NOt for the visual but for the meaning. I find that Copolla may not be as challenging but perhaps he is more entertaining?
@Taw: Sorry but the British "toilet humour" and general carry on in Carry On not only leaves me stale but gets me to leave the room. Seriously no time for it. Sorry! However, on the subject of the 60's Brith flick, what about "Saturday Morning, Sunday Night" , "Live Now, Pay Later" , "Room At The Top" type of thing?
Personally I don't have many actual box sets but I do have just about everything ever done by the Coen Brothers. Plus a delightfully "Coenesque" Welcome to Collinwood .

@Esqui:
I believe that your constant attempts to divert blame for the Tors character onto me combined with the blatant trouble you have with facing reality suggest that you are suffering from a form of personality-displacement and disassociation. As these are problems raising from the ego, and I am clearly an id, your blame is insanely nmisguided.
*Shakes head in perplexity, and then notes with interest the close similarities in the phonetic English used by ID and that used by Tors*
