The five leading Rulers of London's gangster syndicates gather for a summit to establish a cease-fire after two years of bloody territorial feuding. A proposal from a Swiss banking conglomerate is put forward-all five Rulers will receive a huge pay off if they surrender their patches and relocate outside London. They all agree except Sosofra enforcer for the South London territories. Without all five signatures the deal will be called off so the other four Rulers conspire to have Sosofra assassinated.

When Robin of Loxley transformed into Robert of Huntingdon in the third series of Robin of Sherwood, many viewers were understandably confused. Michael Praed left the series for reasons that never really became apparent while Jason Connery clearly wasn't a replacement chosen for similar looks or performance. Across the 13 episodes of the third series, Connery's choice became slowly apparent. The magical stories frequently dipped into darker territory as much as they aimed for uplifting humour. The new Hood was at ease with both, while reuniting the merry band and ultimately wooing the fair Marion all over again. Connery turned in a very confident embodiment of the character, clearly bonding well with the established team of actors. Guest stars lined up to contribute alongside him. Memorable appearances include those of Richard O'Brien, David Rappaport, Matt Frewer, Patricia Hodge, Ian Ogilvy and Lewis Collins. (It's fascinating to speculate how different things could have been if the close-second casting choice of Neil Morrissey had been pursued.) The strangest aspect of the series, however, is knowing in retrospect that everyone's confidence and merriment was for nothing. Scripts were written in readiness for the fourth series, but then the studio went bankrupt. Cliffhangers therefore remain that will confuse viewers far more than the lead's replacement. --Paul Tonks

However after the third film The Return Of The Jedi was released in 1983 fans were forced to wait 16 years for more Star Wars action. It is no wonder then that these die-hard ""Starwoids"" waited in line for weeks to get into the very first screening of Lucas' prequel The Phantom Menace. T
