In that case, I can probably ask you how you rate the original Day the Earth Stood Still vs. the recent remake? I saw the remake yesterday and thought it was poor. I loved the original

I haven't seen the remake and to be honest I don't want to. The original was good, not in my top ten, but a good film none the less.
I thought Gort was done very well.
There used to be a street in Hulme in Manchester called 'Gort Walk' - i often wondered if it was named after the robot .

I'm going to come over all geeky now, but I'm afraid that the robot in Forbidden Planet was not the same robot in LIS (Lost in Space)
Robbie did appear in LIS in an episode which I think was called "War of the robots".
The robot in LIS was always referred to as "Robot" or 'The Robot', I think his actual name was Robot B9 or something similar.
I do agree that Forbidden Plant is a wonderful film though, what with Walt Disney creating the ID monster and the great musical tonalities.

I checked here and I stand corrected!

(all together now) All hail the uber-geek Pogle

(I am not worthy to dust your Star Trek DVD collection etc.)

[Pogle]

Me too!

EDIT: you can see Robbie's first appearance in Forbidden Planet. Classic 50s Sci-Fi.

The stage show was cracking as well, and possible the only musical ever to feature both Magnus Pike and Patrick Moore.

I hope Patrick Moore doesn't die this year too.

Great film - based on The Tempest!

That was absolutely one of my favourite programmes when I was a teenager.

I used to race home from school on a Friday to watch it. Zachariah Smith, the numpty who kept trying to sabotage the space craft and its crew, forgetting that without it he'd never get back home.

It used to be on Channel 4 at around Sunday lunchtime. I always remember watching it whilst waiting for my Dad to carve the roast.

I think it was ITV, but has been repeated a lot in recent times. Also Mr P is a collector of this kind of show, so we have it all on DVD.

[Bagpuss]

It was repeated on ITV in the 80s (I think)

DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER

I am 45 but have no recollection of this show atall. Was it on BBC or ITV? (I guess there were only 2 channels when this was aired?)
