What's up with England getting all the good stuff. First it was the old WWE ppvs, then it was Bucky O'hare. Then I saw that they have visionaries too!!!
This is rediculous. Are the dvds at least region zero?
Just get a region free DVD like everyone in the rest of the world! I live in the UK and at least half of my DVDs are from America. It's no problem, region one gives you the best choice. www.ebay.co.uk or www.play.com.
* I can only express puzzlement, which borders on alarm. *
can i ask, did you guys used to watch the childrens dramas that were on cbbc in those days? been trying to remeber the title of one. all i remember is in one scene they were trying to resurect somesort of evil by it taking possesion of an unborn baby. everyone is in some sort of lake in a glen or something, and the woman is holding some sort of white mask over her stomach. anything? anyone?
I know this is probably a little late, but was it "Uncle Jack"?
Not many people remember that series nowerdays, but it was pretty cool for it's time. It was a kind of SciFi/Eco Drama, of the sort that were pretty popular on kids TV back then (preachy, and featuring a strong left wing bias, but somehow rising above it to exude a distinctly cool "Britishness", or something like that). In the show, Jack Green was a professor of Ecology, but was also secretly some kind of "Gentleman Eco-warrior" (now there's an oxymoron for you) fighting to save the planet from an evil villainess (Fenella Fielding) known only as "The Vixen"! Each episode invariably resonating some kind of "mother earth is under attack, and big corporations are 100% to blame" message, as was also popular in the early 90's. Jack himself never had any powers as such, always gaining victory through a kind absent-minded ingenuity (not unlike Doctor Who. In fact I think this series may have been comissioned specifically to plug the hole left by Who in the late 80's/early 90's), occasionally brutal violence, and the aid of his rag-tag gang of close family and friends (his sister, niece and nephew played large roles, hence the "Uncle").
Each of the show's four series had a different title; "Uncle Jack: Operation Green" (S1), "Uncle Jack and the Dark Side of the Moon" (S3), "Uncle Jack and Cleopatra's Mummy" (S4) etc. I can only remember a couple of episodes, but the first part of series two ("Uncle Jack and the Loch Ness Monster") began with Jack having chained himself to the railings of large building (factory?), in order to stop an invariably "evil" corporation from opening it's business. Jack's sister (she was probably called Margaret) see's him on the news and rushes over to cut him down. She then whisks him back to her house to scream at him for bringing the family name into disrepute. During the insuing argument, Margaret throws her husband's prized model of big ben (made entirerly from lollypop sticks) at Jack, causing it to smash into the floor. "Look what you did!" she yells, "What did I do!?" responds Jack. "You ducked!". Not much today, but that was pretty funny if you were an eight year old in 1991.
Oh, and in another episode Jack has to fight off one of the Vixen's evil henchmen on top of a moving train. This guy has some kind of cool steel claw for a hand("Look at that..." -displays shiny metal hand to Jack- "clever, innit?"), and just as they're about to go at it, the train enters a tunnel. We hear a muffled scream, and then the next moment Jack reappears, swinging into the carriage through a window (much to the surprise of it's occupants), still holding the gory remains of his foe's prostetic limb. "Here..." he says, handing the grisly item to a nearby schoolboy, "souvenir". Class. It all sounds fairly silly now, but back then the show had some pretty scary moments (it frightened the crap out of me more than once), and it was the best kind of silliness - the kind that's taken completely seriously by the cast.
If it wasn't "Uncle Jack" then does anyone else have any idea what this mystery show could be?
talking about uncle jack....i do remember it. at the time i found it ammusing because my dad was a fan of early "manfred mann" and uncle jack was the original first singer.
ironically after he left the band and was replaced in the 1960s the band did a song called " my names jack"
Yeah. Region-free DVD players. Where are they? What is and isn't a region free player? Computers, X-Boxes, PS2s or is it simpler, like, just a DVD player you can buy at Future Shop or the Source or something.
Are you aware of the website 'google.com'? Type in multiregion there and you'll figure it out. Most DVD players can be hacked into with a simple remote control hack, that's how I did my Sony.
