Man In A Suitcase - Complete DVD

Advantages: Damn exciting whenever you watch it. Good cast.
Disadvantages: The end is a bit disappointing. What's in the case?

...Directed by the late John Frankenheimer (Black Sunday), the film begins with one of those word introductions - white subtitles on a black page, informing you that "Ronin" is the Japanese word for Samurai without a master (leaving you slightly unnerved since the film you remember buying/ rating has De Niro pointing a gun at you in a very unJapanese manner...) However, the relevance of this, is that without masters, these men are mercenaries, up for sale to the highest bidder.

Listen carefully to the episode of 'Androids', which is Kryten's favourite show and you will hear Tony Slattery who seemed to be on everything at the time. Spare a thought for poor David Ross, it took 9 hours to get him ready as Kryten, it now only takes Robert Llewelyn 2 hours. Better than life featured Tony Hawks (the comedian not the skateboarder) who plays the man who welcomes Lister, Rimmer and The Cat to Better Than Life did the voices to many of the inanimate objects in the show including dispensing machines and also a suitcase. This show also featured the now late John Abineri as Rimmer father. In Thanks for the Memory, the episode is famous as the first 'continuity' slip.
