A communique from Superseven, the world’s most famous masked superspy. This is Superseven! I am recovering from what appears to have been some sort of dream, or nightmare. Recently, I have been called upon, as a member of T.H.E.M to undertake some very stressful situations; rescuing Sandra West from evil enemy agents (as opposed to [...]

Obviously fighting a kangaroo is, well in my onion, pretty barbaric really – and certainly not politically correct today.

A little bit more on the Destroyer. In 1988, an attempt to launch a Remo Williams television series was made. Only the pilot was completed – obviously not good enough (or popular enough?) to garner the support to proceed to a fully fledged series. I haven’t seen the Pilot myself, but below a few clips [...]
