I can't wait either!!!!!! I think my excitement about Dallas has surpassed even my excitement for Dr Who on Saturday!

Shame they couldn't round up a few more of the older and not dead lot though...let's hope the Newbies don't let the side down. Larry Hagman was dealing with his cancer battle when this series was filmed and Patrick had to pretend that Bobby HAD cancer....must have been very hard all round for them both....I suspect I will be a blubbing wreck whilst watching it.

Oh, I'm excited... but I can't go that far!  

I think it's cos it's been soooooooo long since the last Dallas...we have the Dr Who dvd sets to watch between series...have never invested in any Dallas ones, if they even exist!!!!!

Patrick Duffy...Oh My Goooooodd.

Can't wait. *claps*

I am hoping there's loads of shirt off shoots..

My ex used to race to the Italian after work to get ice cream and sweets in time for Dallas. Ten wild horses wouldn't have dragged us away. Socialising had to be around it and one couple in our circle changed their wedding day when they realised it clashed with Dallas.

Does anybody like my Stetson (Andrew)?

Sweet you look great.

Given the success of the Dallas reboot, they are talking about reviving Dynasty. Can you imagine how much vaseline Joan Collins and Linda Evans are going to want smeared on the camera lens now?

Oh, does that work? I shall be down to Boots tomorrow

I am well excited about Dallas - I have already put it on series record

I love Dallas and can't wait for the series to start

Definitely! I smear it all over the hubbies glasses.

**wonders if she smears it all over the mirror and stops wearing her contacts this might be a worth a try**

Dynasty never did it for me..    I did try to watch it, there was a general belief that if you liked Dallas, then you'd like Dynasty.     I do remember watching it now & then, if it was on, if I was in (cos I think it was on a on a Saturday night)..   but could take it or leave it.

Crystal Carrington - meh!

Blake Carrington - double meh!

Alexis Colby - lets face it...  Joan Collins was the star attraction 

I vaguely remember Blake & Alexis's son & daughter..    

ooooh!   do remember Alexis's toyboy though..   Dex - he was the only one I remember as "do-able" 

I loved the "Dallas: The Early Years"  movie (or was it a mini series?)

I loved getting the back story on the Digger, Miss Ellie & Jock love triange, & how the Barnes/Ewing feud really began 

(I quite like Knots Landing too )

Did anyone ever read any of the Dallas books? I read one when i was about 14 and it was right saucy. 

he was until Blake and Alexis' daughter Catherine went on to marry the Prince of Moldova who was Michael Praed - I fancied him when he was Robin the hooded man with Herne the hat stand

NO!   I did not know such things existed 

I am gonna have to try & find them now!   (I am currently trying to find "Dallas: The Early Years"  but its not an easy quest...   obviously not a Blockbusters top seller then )

be interesting to see if its still saucy by todays standards... 

I remember James Herberts "The Fog" getting passed around at school with all the dirty bits bookmarked 

Yeah..   I quite liked Michael Praed when he was Robin Hood too.. 

I quite liked the one that replaced him as well..    Jason Connery..   in fact I think it was an upgrade totty wise 

Good luck. I remember a very naughty scene with a topless Pam and Swellin' and 2 sweaty labourers. 

I have no idea why, but the words "a topless Pam & Swellin & 2 sweaty labourers" sounds about as erotic as a gangbang in the current CBB house 

I might tune in to Dallas on Wednesday(that is when it's on, isn't it?). I'm loving all the cowboy hat avatars here

Oh it was.  

ohhh.. Dex!  Blimey Ditts - you're reminding me of so much now.   How many poor kids were called 'Fallon' back in the day.

I like Falcon Crest btw.

yep..   Weds 9pm Channel 5

Stetson city in Millport! Went down the town today and was bemused cause it was full of cowboys and all the shops were called stuff like Cactus Creek Trading Post etc  Thought it might be medication time, but turns out it's an annual country and western festival !

Ummm Dex Dexter, lovely guy! My favourite was when Dominique Devereaux (Diahann Carroll) joined the show. I can still see that full on smack to the face she landed on Alexis. 

Also loved Knot's Landing during the day...between that and Quincy ME I may have missed a few philosophy tutorials when I was at uni....

Yay! I found it. I really should be getting on with other things, but I could quite happily youtube 80s power dressing soaps all day!

That might explain why there were 40-50 people wearing stetsons, getting on a coach in my village yesterday morning.

I loved the Knotts landing. With that, and neighbours, when my son was a baby it was great for afternoon telly watching and having a cuppa whilst he had his nap.I used to rush around doing the housewifely stuff to make sure I had time for my afternoon telly.

When we bought a VCR it was like a gift from the gods because it meant I never had to miss an episode.

are they not meant to ride into town rather than arrive on a bus ?

Maybe it was a Stagecoach bus.

hahah!! ! 

That sounds alright Slinky.

Surreal though 

Reminds of of a guy I used to see on the bus and got off a Dennistoun. Wild Bill I think he went by     - was in the Taggart cowboy episode.

Hope you're enjoying yourself over there  

It's been great ta, a proper chilloot! was supposed to go home last Monday but kept putting off ! Back to reality first thing tomorrow though

The really surreal bit was when the vikings from the festival at Largs caught the ferry over !
