The Bishop?
"Don't say the last line vic!"
I saw a Ministry of Unknown Science performance a couple of years ago - they're good.
I couldn't believe some of the flak you were getting for defending the SciFi originals. I know they aren't all The Haunting (the original) or Star Wars, but some of them are a lot of fun.
The SciFi Originals pay for themselves. They are "inexpensively" made and yet deliver quite a bit of production value. People watch them on tv and on DVD.
Did you know that MAMMOTH was mostly shot in Romania?
