"Riddle Of The Sands"

OK .... I'm going to be that guy this time. Why do we have a thread started every few months when "Riddle of the Sands" appears on one channel or another?

It's an old style melodrama which, although made in the late 70's, harks back to a 50's style of acting and scripting making it something akin to an Enid Blyton wizard escapade.

Standing by for incoming. :encouragement:

I caught the back end of this last night on London Live.

A film about boats with Jenny Agutter and Michael York - what's not to like?

Shallow water, sand banks, narrow channels and fog.
And spiky helmeted enemy!
Enough to put anyone off the area!!!

Aside, it's always a good film to watch. No computer graphics, no OTT weaponry, no muscle-bound guys single-handing Gatling-guns and a dialogue that can actually be understood. :encouragement:

Exactly :)

I'm still waiting for Riddle of the Sands the sequel, or perhaps Riddle of the Muds .

The may have to wheel York, McCork , and Agutter out if they are still alive, otherwise I'm available.
