    A guy in work was asking me if I knew.


    The program had Bonnie Tyler's "I need a hero" as the theme tune.
    And the lead actor died in the making so it was then scraped.
    Think he said it was an 80's american show.

    :confused:

    I know it's vague but he has been annoying everyone asking them and nobody knows!!!

    Cover Up!

    I used to love this show. The lead actor did indeed die on the set of the series due to an "accidental shooting with a prop gun".

    I remember he died, and thinking the guy who replaced him would never be as good

    That was so sad at the time.

    What happened is that he fired a blank at his temple thinking he'd be ok. He actually said before he fired it Let's see if I get myself with this one."

    The blank firing was enough to kill him though.

    Really sad and a great show at the time.

    Yeah this is a show that stuck in my head for years and years until I worked out what it was called. God knows why, it was supposed to be rubbish.
