Watched it ? still driving one. :beer:

Seems a different life ago and with modern CCG t's hard to define what's real and what isn't.

However with TV and film these people are now immortal.

You are not the only one. I don't remember any of that either. Guess I was too busy playing cowboys and indians or wathcing them on the tube.
