this is hardly obscure, but to younger people it is so I'll count it I watch The Professionals and The Man From U.N.C.L.E when I'm in a bad mood

Not as good as Minder, but still top-telly.

I'm glad you agree
because they're a class act.

There's a really strange episode where they train a ginger cat called "Rusty" to sneak into a vault and steal a diamond
the camera keeps zooming in on its bollocks

Nah, for some reason I didn't like it.
The Persuaders and The Saint, though - rocking.

The bad guys in the man from uncle were called T.H.R.U.S.H
but in the pilot episode they were called W.A.S.P, which as we all know stands for "We Are Sexual Perverts"

Good tune

The Man from U.N.C.L.E
is excellent. David McCallum ftw. Also the original Randall & Hopkirk (deceased) makes great ill/moody viewing.

David McCallum
made a rare and sought-after album.

The most famous sample taken from it is the hook from Snoop Dogg/Dr Dre's 'The Next Episode' - itself ripped off from the infinitely superior Missin Linx classic 'M.I.A '.

You have not been charged for this call.

Robert Vaughn released a single in 1968

I'd totally forgotten about that
their TV films were brilliant fun.
