Sometimes nostalgia starts to get the better of you.
You start to wear the rose tinted glasses when you delve into your memory banks.
Many people think about TV shows in particular and coming from the 80's with evenings filled with Knight Rider, Magnum PI, Airwolf, et al, it pains me to say, that half these characters where just cartoons...
Now, I know they were kiddie friendly, going out before the watershed, but during summer holidays, we got to stay up a little later, and occasionaly, there was a good show in between the political shows and lame British TV.
One of the characters that was really cool to me was 'The Equaliser' and the main character reminded me of a one-man A-Team, even if it was low on the cartoon action and high on drama and more adult themes. So, a nod of appreciation to Edward Woodward who died last week.
I'm sure there are many finer obituaries out there, recognising him for his many other roles on stage and screen such as 'Callen', 'The Wickerman' and 'Common as Muck', but I really wanted to write this so I could mark it here on my little internet space, and to give credit to Edgar Wright who worked with Edward Woodward on Hot Fuzz and who wrote a piece 10 times better than me>>>
