This programme was a bold move, it did only survive one series, but without Leanard Rossiter, it couldn't be what it used to. The main story was after Reginald Perrin passed away, he left a will to his family and former colleagues. A million pounds each. But, to get this money they had to do something totally absurd. After efforts were made they decided to work as a team and their idea was to have a bloodless revolution for the older generation, however, it actually was a good idea, so they didn't get a penny. On the character side of things, new characters were bought in and supporting characters were in the lead. With his success in "As Time Goes By", Geoffrey Palmer took the spotlight, relinquishing his role as Jimmy Anderson, the Leader of the Revolution along with all the other classic characters from the original series, CJ, Doc Morrisey, David "Great" Jones and Joan Greengross. If I hadn't of seen this programme at the tender age of 11, I would have never seen the original classic programme, so thank you David Nobbs.
This film, even after seeing the brilliant Batman Begins, has to be my number one Batman movie and it is also my favourite movie of all time. It's been 15 years since I saw this magnificent film and even seeing it prior to my teens and now that I'm in my twenties, it's still number 1. It displays a dark world, that comic book element that only Tim Burton could create. Although there is a similar darkness to the city in The Crow, Batman has a very unique style to it. I read recently that the four original film, Batman, Returns, Forever and Robin were all camp. this was when Begins was released. I don't think that Batman is camp, the first two were amazing. granted the last two could be considered camp, but Tim Burton's masterpieces were incredible.
I had seen the DVD advertisement of Bubba in a DVD magazine and read what the features where and saw that they had a black guy as JFK and with Elvis as well, this film looked crazy but ultimately satisfying when I saw it. The performance from Bruce Cambell and Ossie Davies were superb and being an Elvis fan myself, found it a fantastic experience to see the King going out as a hero with the amazing last words "Thank you very much", which I felt some other Directors and actors would have made it sound cheesy but this was done to perfection. I have to admit that I don't believe in old people's homes and after seeing that I still don't, but If I had the opportunity of sharing my last days with Elvis Presley and a Black JFK, hell I'd go for it. I recommend anyone who's interested, purchase this on DVD because that's how I first saw it.
