`` Liar and a Dreamer''

  I did enjoy this. I meant to see it in the cinema. I finally did get around to watching it  I have thought that the 1980s Lee Majors vehicle which I have been re-watching for a while deserved a reboot. If for no reason I have much more regard for practical effects - The FallGuy 24 starts with a reworking of the montage shown at the beginning of each episode  The stunts feel real. The FallGuy being set about a film set is a nice touch. It pokes fun at the huge Marvel style summer blockbusters - We see some of the workaday problems of movie making. The tide is out. The Americans need left hand cars. A camera is broken during a stunt- which causes problems for a planned clip to shown at Comic-con.   Also the lack of privacy on the set. 100s of people know what is going on it your life. The people copying a style of clothes of a T shirt.  Firstly the plot about Colt being a bounty hunter has been dropped. In part I imagine that is due to the change in scene from LA, to Australia.

Who played Ian Chesterton in the first series of Doctor Who back in 1963 I had encountered Ian in the Target novelizations of  Doctor Who particularly the Romans, where we reading  his character unposted letters to a friend-relaying his adventures and misadventures in the court of Nero.  In Peru, alone I watched an Unearthly Child I was shocked by how adult the themes hinted in the pilot episode is. Russell as a polite but stern young man challenging the Doctor I think it is Russell who is the foundation stone upon which the temple of Who will be built. Indeed that is what Moffat noted. Russell's Chesterton  takes the rock away from Doctor- to prevent him from euthanizing a sick caveman  Valette The Blackadder, Robin of Sherwood, Superman  ( Father, RAF Veteran, Oxford Graduate)
