    They came up against some good opposition however thought one of them would have made it through.

    With the previous 'Boards Top......' I could make a guess which ones would get to the later stages however have no idea with this one!!

    Bernard & The Genie - BBC TV special/movie (1991)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,192 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Bernard and the Genie - great cast which throws in Lenny Henry as a wacky genie, Rowan Atkinson as the scheming baddie and Alan Cumming as mild mannered man on a quest for revenge.

    And yes, it does all come to a conclusion at Christmas...

    The US Office is great, doesn't really get going until season 2 but very entertaining.
