Vid: Have You Met Miss Jones?

[lost_spook]

So, as I said, I made an Adam Adamant Lives! vid, and I chose the most obvious song, because how could I not?

Have You Met Miss Jones?
Adam Adamant Lives! Adam & Georgie vid: "We'll keep on meeting till we die, Miss Jones and I!" (2.36 mins.) Not particularly spoilery, just for fun.

Must shamefully admit that I've never seen Adam Adamant Lives! yet, although it's on my list of "programmes to watch at some point. Eventually" and the "everything of it that still exists" DVD set is on my Amazon wishlist... That seems like quite a fun video, and it makes me want to watch it more. :) (Also, love the song...)

[lost_spook]

Thank you! And it is a fun show, or I think so, anyway. It was on my wishlist for quite a long while, too. :-)

I haven't seen the show either (it's on my ever-expanding list of British cult stuff to check out if it ever reaches the U.S.), but this is super adorable.

[lost_spook]

Aw, thank you! If it's adorable, that's great, because the show is!!

[swordznsorcery]

Fab! Even Robbie Williams couldn't spoil it. :p

Great set of clips. You show the sense of fun really well, especially with the fight scenes, and the bits where "Miss Jones" has to keep rescuing Adam (and vice versa). Really nicely done.

[lost_spook]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks again for sending it my way. :-)

And, aha, I happened to have that version of the song on CD; getting anybody else's would have cost me pennies and might have worked less well anyway, so sorry, Robbie Williams it was. Somehow I knew you'd say that!

[swordznsorcery]

I have a Robbie Williams allergy! But mostly it's just because I know that song so well from this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj2ksdV8a-8

It's a very good fanvid though. It more than makes up for a bit of Williams. :)

Fun vid!

Apparently this show is not available in the US, but Amazon will sell me a set of DVDs from Australia, in Region 4 format. The hunt is on!

[lost_spook]

Thank you! :-)

Good luck with the DVD-hunt! If it falls through, someone does have the full set (all 17 surviving eps, the BBC can never look after any TV) here.

(Mind, they've edited out the theme, which is very wrong. Have the wonderfully OTT theme here.)

[dbskyler]

OMG, watching that theme just totally made my day. The cape! The moment when the heart went into the woman's chest! It's glorious.

[lost_spook]

It is so gloriously OTT and 60s, and it's just great, isn't it? I think Sydney Newman or someone really liked Goldfinger, so they did the theme in that style and tried to get Shirley Bassey to sing it! :-)

Adam and his cape and his swordstick is truly a tale of love also.

[scripsi]

I don't know the show, but I'm impressed with anyone who can makes videos!

[lost_spook]

Aw, thanks! (I want to say, me too! because I never quite count myself as an actual vidder, but I suppose... I have put clips together here, right? :lol:)
