Yes, that was a real treat, wasn't it? Quite what a damn' good actor like Mr Houston was doing in this show (which is entertaining and great fun but also nonsense) I don't know - well, yes, I do - he's paying the mortgage and keeping the kids in shoe leather like everyone else! - but his intensity burns off the screen and it was a real pleasure to see him in action. Loved the hang-glider scene - that kind of full-blooded idiocy is good for the soul.
