  • I miss tv

    From Adam H. Kerman@3:633/10 to All on Friday, June 05, 2026 06:22:05
    I'm so desperate for tv that I'm watching a compendium of '80s opening
    themes.

    Gotta say, I'd forgotten Freddy Kruger was on V!

    The Legacy section of the article mentions various films and TV series
    based on Turpin.

    A notorious British highwayman in the 18th century: . . .

    I have heard the name of the historical figure and am aware that heavily fictionalized versions of history have appeared in various media.

    But when I looked it up, this was a two 13-episode series for London
    Weekend Television that I do not recall was sold to the US. There was an associated film that was released in the US.

    It didn't belong on the list.
