I'm intrigued by your comment about the betrayal. I know the fate of Newt and Hicks wasn't popular with many fans. Was it this that caused the sense of betrayal? Or the film's ending? Or something else?

I think both. Or all three. There had been some suggestion that the next film should take the fight to the aliens' home planet, in fact there were comics stories published along those lines, but Alien 3 not only failed to build on the triumph of Aliens but actually undid it.

This is on my bucket list of films to watch at some point. The gritty tone and soapy premise has drawn me in.

Another lovely Network release. I recorded it on ITV in the early hours years ago.

Annette Andre got to arrest June Ritchie (her sister in This Is My Street) in ITC’s The Baron and played Ian Hendry’s ex-wife in ITC’s Return of the Saint. In This Is My Street, her character’s brother-in-law is played by her future Randall and Hopkirk Deceased co-star, Mike Pratt. And her fiancé is played by Tom Adams, who guested on ITC’s UFO, where he got murdered by Mike Pratt. Meredith Edwards worked with Annette Andre on ITC’s Randall and Hopkirk Deceased, where he tried to bump off Mike Pratt’s character. Madge Ryan from This Is My Street got to kidnap Annette Andre and threaten Mike Pratt on Randall and Hopkirk Deceased.

I love the Ealing film It Always Rains On Sunday, which has a similar kitchen sink noir feel.

And of course This Is My Street has the Carry On association. Eric Rogers even road-tested some music later he'd later recycle in the early seventies Carry Ons.

I ordered a box called "World's best movies", but instead got "World's best movies volume 3". Must be a summer worker handling the orders...
I hope I get to keep the incorrect box as compensation.

I have a dvd-buying obsession. I'm a dvd-oholic. Since last time I posted, I have probably bought like 1000 more.

The last blu ray I bought was Ghostland (steelbook)...
It's a great "home invasion" movie with an amazing twist (don't read youtube comments, they will spoil it)
