    Rewatching the first Season of Burke's Law. Great show with top guest stars, Cable Roberts features Mary Astor, Lizabeth Scott, Charlene Holt, and Zsa Zsa (as a maid). Disappointing that only season 1 has been released on DVD. Burke's Law, The Untouchables, Danger Man, and The Saint need blu ray...

    (Aurelio) Zen - the three feature length films based on the books by Michael Dibdin. One of the most stylish of detective shows, starring Rufus Sewell (should have been Bond) and Caterina Murino (Casino Royale). Cancelled by the BBC because 'there were enough male crime fighters on tv'.

    Finally finished watching The Persuaders today, such a great show which first aired when I was 10 and I have been watching on and off ever since.

    Watched the last season (8) of the BBC drama Hustle, it's the only season available on blu ray (German release). One of the very few television shows that ends properly and with a nice touch referencing The Magnificent Seven for Robert Vaughn who co-stars.
