We review a film that means a lot to the two hosts, as it was one of the triggers to a big change in the hobby that they became friends over, when the trilogy of films changed the horizon on the UK convention scene, when a huge amount of main cast attended events, bonified Hollywood stars, where as previously it had lent itself to TV stars and past British stars, and the scene was never the same after that.

This also looked upon as the film that won not just for the content of the named film but the trilogy that it ended!!
