Quintus 5,391 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Linky.It's airing in the UK on Channel 4 at 9pm. The host Justin Lee Collins is a VERY enthusiastic fan of all things eighties and he's just as enthusiastic when it comes to being the man charged with the task of hunting down the cast of tv shows and movies from the era, for a reunion party. He has done it with the cast of The A-Team and Dallas, both which were hilarious adventures with surprisingly good results - most of the crusty old actors, after being initially and visibly startled by Collins in your face approach, usually give in and agree to at least give an interview, with some even agreeing to the reunion. But the main reason to watch these shows is to see how crazy the man can be and just how determined in his mission he so recklessly is!It's Star Wars, the tv spot promises a few new revelations and if the A-Team episode is anything to go by, then this is highly recommended entertainment.

Henry B 49 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's about time the little known and under-appreciated Star Wars gets the attention it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg1138 2 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I've enjoyed all of the re-union shows he's done so far - though the best one was the Grange Hill episode I didn't know about this one though - I would have been gutted if I'd missed it....thanks for the heads-up!!!!

artyjeffrey 20 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Man, just think, David Prowse might show up. Strangely absent from most behind-the-scenes Star Wars stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely absent from most behind-the-scenes Star Wars stuff.I would think he would be the first person that Justin Lee Collins goes after - since they live in the same city! (Bristol).

Richard Penna 2,082 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'll be watching, if only because I like JLC and the special where he became a magician in like a week was entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjimwilson 89 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Man, I knew Anthony Daniels could be a bit difficult..... but that was quite an eye opener. Unless, of course it was all edited to make him look like a diva. Although he used to work with the dad of a mate of mine. And apparently, he was very "thespian" back then too.

Quintus 5,391 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 A girl I used to work with told me once that she knew Darth Vader and as a child she used to sit on his knee. She said "Yeah, Dave Prowse - he is my Dad's mate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 55 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Watched it last night. A bit of a let down not getting Ford or Hamill but at least Carrie Fisher is always game for a laugh. Willow and Justin in the hot tub together. Poor Warwick's eyes couldn't stop looking down into the water.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4yLi8vYVkI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
