I would agree with that....but for many its still a plain and simple ripp-off

Judge Dredd vs the dune sharks - from Judge Dredd Megazine, dated Sept 16, 1994. The date is in the bottom left corner.

Michelle Ryan (from Eastenders ) in tonights one,,Hope she's good.!! and is it a one off for Easter..

RTD himself has said he was/is a fan of 2000AD, he put Max Normal in Gridlock (it's continous motorway inspired no doubt by the roads of Mega City One) for example

Also I believe the female newscaster in Gridlock was based on one from "The Ballard of Halo Jones".

I Remember dredd also had ripperjacks, think it was in one of the annuals, which were like flying piranahs

I immediately thought of Pitch Black, when i saw the trailer.

Mind you, David looks like a choir boy compared with Van Diesel

Doesn't the ex-eastender lass enjoy big muscles

well i love RTD's reply, but it makes me quite sad that his other half is clearly upset by some of the stuff that has been said about him. This is the downside to forums, people in the public eye become dehumanised on sites like this and people sometimes say things about someone here that they would never dream of saying to them in person.

In a way the internet is the last refuse of the coward.

And it Wasn't glad my fears wearn't realised lol

The OP was wrong - Planet of the Dead was actually a rip off of 'The Langoliers'!

Thank god you wrote this because it's been bugging the hell out of me since yesterday what that film was called! It was simillar I agree but nothings that original anymore.

If we take it back far enough - isn't every story ever written a variation of one of the classic Greek Myths or a combination thereof?

Indeed, and just like the TV movie of The Langoliers, the ending was ruined by poor CGI.

it was basically pitch black meets flight of the phoeix for kids. It wasn't that great, felt like an average episode, just getting ready for the next 3. Plus points Tennant as great as ever and Michelle Ryan was very good as an assistant, liked her alot.

That was what I was thinking too

How could i be wrong, can you read minds? lol
I said what I THOUGHT it looked like PB based on the trailer i'd seen and i HOPED this was not the case, it wasn't.
i've never seen or read langoliers I dont read King he uses a 1000 pages where 100 will do.

How do you know that if you've never read his books?

because i have read some, how else would i know you think id go to the book shop and say, 'wow there's a lot of pages in that book im not going to read it' ???? numbnuts!

Thanks for that, was just asking as you said you don't read King, don't see the need for the insult but if that's your style thats fine.

i was outta line just dont like people suggesting that i just make up stuff without any idea what i was talkin about, if you weren't then im sorry

It was such a lazy episode to call it a rip-off would be too kind.

No worries and thanks for the apology, much appreciated.
