Rewatch Downunder Saturday 13th January A2 Space Fall

For some, it's the start of something new. For others, it's no life at all. The crew includes some nonentities, a couple of unlucky enlisted men, one fairly reasonable captain and one absolute stinker of a sidekick, who was so mean he was once headhunted to join Darth Vader's squaddies. The deportees include a bunch of no-hopers, one girl with incredible hair that never gets messy, one curly bloke who doesn't respond well to authority, one big guy who everyone likes, especially the sneaky one who hides behind him, and one chap who definitely does not play well with others. Oh, and one complete idiot who is so wet behind the ears he volunteers. Doesn't end well. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

So sorry to hear your mother died. There's SO much to do when someone dies. Try to get some rest! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Twatdom is NOT helpful. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

C & C are two incidental characters who pop up in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes". There was a bit of a history of them being written into other movies, sometimes with different names or different actors. Keith Waterhouse had a go in the 1980s, writing this series about them in retirement. I had a nice surprise when they lady's surname was mentioned.
