Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

A recent comment from blog reader Sword Takeda in regard to Windak space suits, got be looking back at all my old posts and I realised, that while filling in the back story up to its best known appearance I had actually managed never to complete the journey. So this is me doing just that.

Ladies and Gentleman, may I present Bossk in what seems likely to be the last known appearance of the yellow Windak high altitude pressure suit.

The Astronaut's Wife (1999)

The Astronaut's Wife is a very odd film that feels like it should have been made in the early 70's. It's Rosemary's Baby meets Solaris with some very beautiful talented actors which should be enough for anyone and yet something's missing

Those facial expressions just about sum it up, really.

The Avengers - Dragonsfield (1961)

Dragonsfield is the 26th episode of the first season of The Avengers.

Steed is sent to research facility when a scientist developing a radiation-proof material dies of radiation.

I'm not going to tell you anything about The Avengers series its self other than its very cool, ran for quite a while and a more quintessential slice of 60's British television you will be hard pressed to find.
