The Who Am I Game?

[aquarius moon]

Stop trying to get out of it maxxi.

IF it's the right answer, it's your turn*

*This is non-negotiable

[red devil]

Yeah maxxi, you can't just come and go as you please like some blow-in. You've signed up for life now.

If you don't we'll send you (back) to Coventry...

[maxxi]

*sigh* - this character is a bank robber on the run, 1983, (spin) drifts into a dangerous city and spends his time hiding from Mr Big.

You can't go without Loz!

Where are you Loz? Everyone's getting impatient.

[Salsaboy]

Logan from Logan's run?

[maxxi]

Soz for lapping Loz but I am away from screen a lot (no smart phone layabout me) so will push on regardless and if all wrong Loz can reboot...

No DF - this is a fictional character in a tv series who is on the run in 1983.

He is with a group of others being sought by the SID (special investigations department). His character is loosely based on a Doctor from a show roughly 5 years earlier.

[Loz]

Sorry.. been away from my desk. Shall try not to do that again.

Yes, Norm was the one. And to quote the great man himself... "Women. Can't live with 'em ... pass the beer nuts."

[maxxi]

Right genre SB.

not '74 though - few years earlier

Overweight, sweaty chap, a coward who hated being a plaything of others.

Actor who played him had initials KK.

[maxxi]

Edited to remove ref to clock being focked - I thought it was the medication...

Fitzhugh / Land of the Giants

[maxxi]

Congrats AqM - I thought you would know - bless his sweaty armpits.

Series was made in late 60s but set in future (1983), ship was the (Spin)drift, Mr Big (self explan.), and based loosely on Dr Smith from 'Lost in Space'. Oh, and played by Kurt Kasnar.

"How's life treating you Mr Peterson?"

"Like it caught me in bed with its wife."

[aquarius moon]

You thought I would know maxxi?

Yes, I was around all those years ago, as you obviously were too!

The date & the overweight sweaty chap clue gave it away. It was my favourite ever programme at the time. I just googled it and was amazed to see that all 51 episodes are available on DVD (Amazon) so think I might have to buy them.

So glad you took your turn or I'd never have known that this fab series isn't lost forever.

Back soon with a clue & It's going to be something more recent.

[Salsaboy]

The one with the beard from Game of Thrones?

[aquarius moon]

You read my mind Salsa ;-)

Well done.

Your turn :)

"What's shaking, Norm?"

"All four cheeks and a couple of chins."

[aquarius moon]

Almost 2 weeks so it must be time I posted a new clue:

This character is down under but quite close

[Dopamine1979]

Crocodile Dundee?

[aquarius moon]

No. Good answer though.

This person is fair, humane and played by a Scot

[Salsaboy]

Rolf McHarris?

[aquarius moon]

No!

Despite the distance, he is only two days away

[aquarius moon]

If people don't have the odd guess, I'm going to forget to post clues!

The screenwriter/producer of the series is also responsible for 'The Lakes' and 'Cracker'

[Otta]

Well that's Jimmy Mc Govern, but I still don't know.

[Otta]

Weird, couldn't post Jimmy Mc Govern without a space in the second name. Wonder why that's on the banned words list.
