Topic: Help! What's this called

[wardy]

Wonder if you can help me out with the title of a film I'm after for the old man's Christmas pressie.  Cast your mind back to the late 60's early 70s ish. American TV science fiction programme with a nice looking blondish haired, gorgeous blue eyed gent.  His character in this prog was David something or other - perhaps Jensen or ?

Can anyone tell me what this flipping programme was called as I thought I might see if it's available on DVD but I can't remember what it was called??

Anyone........

[terrace max]

UFO?

[terrace max]

David McCallum in something or other...?

[joji]

Try Battlestar Galactica ?

Or The man from U.N.C.L.E. ?

OR

The invisable man?

There is also  " V "

My hubby is well up on sci fi.  ;D

"The Invaders - aliens beings from a dying planet.
Their destination - the earth.
Their purpose to make it their world.
David Vincent has seen them.
For him it began one lost night on a lonely country road,
looking for a short-cut that he never found.
It began with a closed deserted diner, and a man too long
without sleep to continue his journey.
It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy.
Now, David Vincent knows the Invaders are here;
that they have taken human form.
Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare
has already begun."

Pardon  ???

[wardy]

TM   YOU ARE A STAR!!!!!

That's it!!!

Can't tell you how happy you have made me

Now have to find it ....... I could be gone some time  ;D

My old man likes the 1950's sci fi films and I've bought him a couple but they are difficult to find.  I'm also after the one where the action is set in a backwater US town and the temperature is soaring so people are all sitting in the bar sweating and mopping brows, when the corks start popping off the beer etc.  Plus there are some pulsating glowing things in the desert. Any idea what that was?  Christmas is a terrible time for me - why can't he just ask for socks like anyone else? 
 ;D

Just had a quick look on ebay and Amazon and the ones on ebay are mostly copies and the video box set on Amazon is nearly £150!!
I'd weigh up the feedback on ebay - I've had some fairly decent copies of stuff over the years.

No problem Wardy, hope you find the video/dvd...

Not sure about this - although it's very familiar - the giant ant movie 'Them!' perhaps?

[terrace max]

Or even the first episode of the Twilight Zone...

Hmm...

(Never realised I watched quite so much pulp TV when I was a lad...)

[terrace max]

Actually, thinking about it I'm pretty sure it's 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers'...

[terrace max]

On second thoughts it probably isn't...

[wardy]

Yep it is a tad expensive though I did find a set in the US for £52  :o  Ebay looks promising  :)

Will have a look on google for the suggestions TM. Ta  :)
