Another great ep. Finished it late last night but was too tired to comment. I just watched all three of these films for the first time (over a period of a couple of days or so). I'd never even heard of this character or his movies before. I pretty much agree with you chaps as to the quality of each film. First one is dreadful, 2nd is great, and the 3rd is so-so (I only learned after I'd watched them that Strikes Back was filmed third). Wailing or not, that Blackpool tower stuff is great. I was born in Blackpool and I can remember going up to the top as a kid. Nostalgia. Tragic what happened to Stannard though. It's bittersweet watching him in Strikes Back knowing he probably had weeks (?) to live and he didn't know it. Gutted we'll never see the African one. I can imagine Sandy glancing around at some mud huts and saying "I don't think there's much chance of a bitter around here, sir".
