These Sledge Hammer episodes just kind of grow on you. You know what you are going to get. A bit of light hearted comedy that if folks don't take things too serious they will have a few good chuckles out of each episode, some more than others.
I was checking out the cast of this show to see how old Amanda Bearse was when she was playing that psycho Cop character, who btw seemed quite athletic. Picking up Sledge's partner over her shoulders and walking off.
Thing is as I've just found out it was not Amanda Bearse that I was convinced that it was but instead was a actor called Beverly Leech. She does a real good impersonation of Bearse that is for sure. I couldn't tell the difference.
Stuck with the show so far into its second series, it is a bit of fun to wind the night down with. 25 mins of silliness with maybe the odd Karate kick from Anne-Marie Martin. Who I am sure had Martial arts training. Can't see anywhere out there that said she had training but it sure looks convincing to me.
Just noticed the episodes were produced in 35mm, so maybe could be transferred over to HD if those with the rights to this series thought it would sell.
It has come out as a Blu ray box set but we hear was still only 576p. It'd be real nice to see it in 1080p if they can do it. Make it more fresh & sharp.
Right then, this particular episode was as good as any other Sledge Hammer episode, the star in it makes me laugh, plays the part really well, as do the other actors, so good enough for 8 stars.
