BBC1 weekday afternoon slot just after 'Neighbours' Posted Mon Oct 9 16:30:23 BST 2000 by 'Sirloin steak'

What programme is best in this slot? They keep changing it all the time.

'Quincy' was unrivalled for a while, but 'Bergerac' is really starting to grow on me...

i think the punks in question were called 'mayhem' and the story was about someone getting stabbed in the mosh pit. needless to say, quincy got exasperated and the show ended with him sharing a joke with his misfit friends in that nautically-themed bar.

Was I the only one who forewent (is there such a word as forwent?) tuning into to Quincy in the summer months to tune into ITV's afternoon repeats of Minder? I must say I quite enjoyed them.

Yes - it is the past perfect form of 'to forego' IIRC.

I never saw that Quincy, the punk rock one! The best one (arguably) was the one about the 'race against time' to find the source of contaminated water in a football stadium. Of course, Quincy and Sam managed to find it about an hour before the big ball game.

Minder was amazingly popular during the summer. the number of people in our field at Reading Festival shouting classic Terry/Arfur quotes was unbelieveable.

I REALLY want to see that Quincy episode. There's an American band who named themselves 'Quincy Punx' after it. There's some useless information for you.

And Diagnosis Murder is best. Did you know that's a prime-time show in the States?!

Paul, yeah, that Quincy episode is ace. There's a bit where the Q man goes to the scene of the crime at the 'punk rock club' and he tells people "I'm with the Coroner's office". "Woah," replies some punk extra. "Great band!"

Speaking of afternoon TV/band crossovers, as we almost were, did anyone see that episode of the odd couple with Glen 'Eagles' Frey in it?

Nope. Anyway back to quincy........
Did anyone see the episode when Quincy went to discover if some mexican bones were real, and there was a healer in it. see it?
Finally, what do the actors who 'starred' in Quincy do now?

Was that the one when they made a complete model of the dead body using just the bones?

They usually do that in most episodes!

I spotted Jack Klugman in a sitcom on Channel 5, called 'You Again!'. It was the most abysmal thing I have ever seen, hence the 5:30am timeslot.

Has anyone seen the episode of Quincy where one of Sams cousins is a Kung-Fu movie star, and dies on the set of his latest film? Cracking stuff!

See, now who says the Yanks can't make good telly!

You seen the episode of Diagnosis Murder where the victim is killed by walking on a car park that was deliberately impregnated with a chemical so that everyone would walk over it, but anyone who had walked on it was safe unless they were wiped on the face with a cloth containing a different chemical which activated the first, and the guy, an actor in a medical drama, was killed on film?? Possibly the most elaborate murder weapon *ever*!!

Jack Klugman was also in "twelve Angry Men". And Courtney Love was in the punk episode. Fact!
