This does seem to be the TNA version of Marmite. You either love it or hate it. I'm in the 'Love it' category. It's basically a bit of fun, with our heroes being centre stage the whole time instead of having to share the screen with the villains. I missed this during the original run, and saw it for...

A favourite episode of mine. Robert Lang is a terrific villain who starts as standard TNA bad guy-the double agent-and becomes an archetypal TA badguy-the diabolical mastermind. If I remember correctly, the Peter Cave novelisation has an explanation. Apparently Malov was already Kane's henchman. He ...

It's one of the episodes that I remember particularly from my childhood. Almost simultaneously with this episode, DOCTOR WHO had done an episode where the lovely Leela had been menaced by an elephant sized rat (also in the London sewers!) and I recall thinking that TNA had done the whole thing more ...

For me he remains the perfect personification of A J Raffles, the Gentleman Crook. In an ATV series from the mid-'70s he so perfectly nailed the character that I've never been able to take anyone else seriously in the role. He was a very good character actor, and from what I've read he was one of th...

That was really kind of you, Denis. Thankyou so much. It did confirm my suspicions as to who actually wrote the book!

I just never particularly liked the book. I like fanfiction - I've read some great fanfiction, just as good if not better than actual published novels and stories. But I found this particular book missed the characterizations completely, especially of Emma Peel and Steed, perhaps because it was ben...

It's not a particularly brilliant piece of writing, but it is fun, and fun was what I was after. TMT felt like fanfic because he seemed determined to introduce as many people from the shows past as possible, but it was basically a pulpy adventure yarn. I've read some of his DOCTOR WHO novels, so I ...

There's quite a lot of fanfiction out there that's much better than Two Many Targets. Beyond being officially sanctioned, it's not a terribly good piece of writing. It's not a particularly brilliant piece of writing, but it is fun, and fun was what I was after. TMT felt like fanfic because he seeme...

I just finished this for the first time yesterday. Very enjoyable. It does feel like an extended piece of fanfic, but it's none the worse than that. I felt that Cathy and Keel came over far more vividly than Mrs Peel, but then she's always seemed a much less grounded character, and thus much harder ...

Scott Bot: Showing dead people on TV is one thing...showing dead cats and birds is quite another. Pet owners would probably have picketed the studio or something if they had seen anything like that! It is an excellent episode, and a rather interesting example of the new series attempting to do a ver...
