Let's not jump co conclusions ....

[andy-hughes]

But the notion of Justin Lee Collins, one of the most stratospherically irritating people on TV, travelling to America to 'find' the cast of The A Team a ludicrous 'cult' (no-one watched it for long) series forgotten by everyone except anally retentive students with too much time on their hands, sounds like -

A COMPLETE WASTE OF VIEWING TIME!!!!

or am I being a little harsh?

I'm a bit scared because I have never seen you post a question Andy, and also don't hear you getting mad about people often so here goes....

I quite want to see this from a nostalgic point of you. Yes it was probably pap but they were my rainy Saturday afternoons at nan's house with a the A-Team, WWF and TJ Hooker. I'd quite like to see what they are all up to (or not) now. I think most people that were born early - mid 80's will watch and reminisce.

However, I completely agree about JLC, and another one that gets on my wick is the other gobby one from E4 - I forget his name now but he does Big Brothers Big Mouth. Pillock.

PS Hi Andy - hope you are ok :-)

[dot.hawkes]

errrrrrrrrr. we still watch it here most days, it's on all the time. And andy, i love JLC's accent!!!!! And there is supposed to be a film being done soon. i woul;d love to see it.

[devilwoman]

i loved the a team at the time never missed an episode, but i dont think it should be brought back for 2 reasons

1 the guys are a lot older, george peppard passed away

were all older and wiser now and it woul'nt bring the same excitment that it did then, please justin leave it in the past where it belongs and leave us to our happy memories of it, incidentally face was my favourite, he was so sexy. who was your favourite member?

[dot.hawkes]

In 1984 when I was expecting my daughter, my son loved the A team, he got MrT's van for his birthday, he said he wanted to call the baby Amy if it was a girl cos of Amy in the show. We had a girl and called her Claire (her Dad's choice after Claire Francis) but we gave her Amy as a middle name.

Classic. Leave it where it is, don't ruin it. JLC is a **** too.

[4getmenot]

Complete waste of time. He should have done his research first coz Hannibal is dead, so he isn�t ever going to get them all back together :-)

[stoo_pid]

Andy, have you been bugging my living room?!. I had virtually the same conversation with Mrs Pid last nite (well, when I say conversation, I mean Victor Meldrew type moan! : - )

There is one single consolation - Andie MacDowell won't be in it

[joko]

devil woman - it is only a reunion interview show - they are not remaking it.

i think it will be a laugh - you'll all be watching - and you know it

i think JLC is a buzz

[Mattk]

I luv JLC and the A team was great cult viewing in its day.

If you dont want to watch then dont,I mean why would you want to watch something that you dont like ?

It really is that simple !

[marwel7]

As Baraccus would say: I pity the fool who wouldn't want to see this show.

[kags]

I watched it, it was well made, funny, interesting, and quite poignant to see how everyone had aged. I was never an A Team fan, don't think I have ever watched an episode all the way through, but I was still aware of all the characters so it must have had an influence on me somehow. On the show it said peak viewing figures were (in the UK) 15million an episode. Hardly a cult!

[andy-hughes]

Fair play kags. I didn't watch it Mattk, as you said, I wouldn't watch something I wouldn't enjoy.

natalie_1982 - don't panic! I do ask questions, perhaps you;ve just not seen them, but this was more in the nature of a sarcastic 'rant' than a serious query. I just found the notion of (personally) a guy i can't stand making a lightweight programme about a series i never watched to be amusing, so I had a little moan, and felt metter. How are you by the way?

maybe I'm biased as I love JLC's westcountry accent (being a westcountry girl myself, but proper westcountry not the metropolis of Brizzel). The accent is seriously under-represented on TV.
