A quick visit to IMDB and despite not having a clue who he is I'm going with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Meatballs Part II. You did say a million pounds Dave?

No points, phew I did put points, close one, although if somebody does want a prize it would be cool to put a DVD in the post for somebody, saying points was my silly attempt at pretending to be like on a crazy game show. :)


What's crazy I pretty only know John Larroquette from doing the narrations  on both versions of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and a Futurama joke, and in both of these films I only spotted him during the credits.


1 out of 2 ain't bad though, Star Trek III it was, wish it was Meatballs though that would have been a cool double bill in itself, he was a Klingon I think in Star Trek.


So 1 more to get and remember points, not pounds! although like I said if somebody wants a DVD, Video or a Book or something that would be cool.

Have no idea of the second one Dave... but whenever I hear the name John Larroquette, I automatically think of this unholy example of television...

Just incase you are wondering what it is... it's... (I find it difficult to say this without choking up in anger) an... American version.... of... FAWLTY TOWERS!!!

I don't know if it was shown on all ITV regions, but I remember it being played late at night in the HTV region for a short while.  I never saw every episode, but I remember one "re-imagining" the Gormet Night episode... instead of the fan breaking down and Basil pathetically giving the van a damn, good thrashing with a tree branch in one perfectly simple take, it ends with the van going over a clif in a belabored, unfunny manner...


GOD-DAMN YANK BASTARDS!!! WHY HAVE THEY GOT TO RE-MAKE EVERYTHING!!!


Also, an American friend of mine (who I love and respect a great deal) often brings this up as one of those great shows that got axed by the network it was running on...
