I really enjoyed every Top Model episodes I watched. This is not a typical soap opera. In my country they used to show many south- and central American soaps. Mainly all of the other soaps has the same structure and ingredients: innocent people who has to suffer without any reason, very wicked characters, big secrets to hide (the truth never turns out until the end of the series, or if it does then a big tragedy happens), lovers never can be with each other due to different circumstances, the Happy End always comes (perhaps after 200 episodes :) ), all of the baddies always die or they go mad... Top Model is actually very refreshing after these sad and bad series. Even Mr. Kundera is funny on his own way despite the fact that he is the one who supposed to be the bad guy. I hope I'll have a chance to see a few episodes again...

Tomorrow I'll Be Scalding Myself With Tea
9 November 2002
I remember watching this film screened on BBC2 late one evening in 1981 or was it 1980? I know the BBC still have rights to screen it, so if we're lucky we could press them into screening it on BBC4.
It's a great film, with an even better take on the whole Sci-Fi 'time travel' genre. Back To The Future, Time Cop and all other time travel flicks pale into insignificance when compared to this offering... I'm sure Speilberg has seen this.
I'm no Sci-Fi nut but when you consider this film was made in 1977 the screenplay must've been knocking around for a fair while before that, it's a great tribute to good writing. But what am I saying? I was all of 13 years-old when me and my brothers Robbie and Alan stayed up late to watch this on our old Indersit B/W telly. I only just remember it, but I know good movies and good tales when I see/hear them... and I've never forgotten this one.
There's a Ray Bradbury story called 'A Sound Of Thunder' which looks at the consequences of time travel and messing and altering time lines... hey I could go on forever about this.
I'd pay money to this film again - with or without subtitles, on video or DVD. But if anyone wants to help me badger the controller of BBC4 into screening it or releasing it on vid ( I'm not sure that they can) let's do it before some studio exec finds it and re-makes it and spoils the memory like always.
Arrrggghhhh! I want to see this film again.
