I don't think the casting could have been better, and everyone played their roles to absolute perfection.

Thank God that hollywood wasn't involved.

OK, maybe Walker could have been better cast, but the smallest hairs don't need to be split.

It's funny you said that because I was thinking the weakest player was Walker - and Jones sometimes when he was giving orders was too forceful (and competent)!

I haven't seen it, but I doubt it could match the original TV series.

Not a replacement, maybe, but it looked to me as if everyone involved had the word "tribute" in their minds -- and they avoided the annoying road of going heavy on catchphrases.

Mainwaring in particular was absolutely spot on. I think Lowe would have been touched.

If it comes round on TV I'll give it a go.

Cancer cure?

I know 'they' are forever announcing breakthroughs and cures but this does sound quite promising...

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Something in that article doesn't pass the sniff test.

"The potential new therapy involves injecting tiny particles of genetic code into the body which travel to the immune cells and teach them to recognise specific cancers."

Credit where it's due: I reached that second paragraph before I called Billshut.

I read the whole thing and the first thing I though of was "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

I don't doubt it's possible. I want to see the results of testing trials before I start cheering for it.

TBF, they've dumbed it down a bit; click on the link to the original article which gives more detail.

"RNA nanoparticles encoding the reporter gene firefly luciferase were injected intravenously into mice to assess biodistribution of the Luc signal. Whereas injection of naked Luc-RNA did not generate a reporter signal, several of the carrier RNA formulations gave characteristic patterns of in vivo organ transfection, indicating protection and efficient translation of RNA"

Holy cr@p! they're not kidding!

And, Holy cr@p, neither were you about the dumbing-down!

Probably not in my lifetime, but I do believe a universal cure for cancer will eventually be found, and that RNA / DNA pioneers will be at the forefront of the discovery. Let's not put down what we don't understand. Smile | :)

Hell, if all we've got to go by is that garbage article from the OP, there's nothing to try to understand but the idiocy of people who try to write about things they know nothing about.

I was not referring to this article in particular. I just believe that a cure will be found eventually and that DNA technology will probably be at the core of the cure.
