Get that summer glow
We've got all you need to spring into summer looking and feeling your best

Gone but not forgotten

continued from page 2
Dallas
First aired in US: 1978
Number of seasons: 13 (that's despite being described as a 'limited series with a limited future' by showbiz bible Variety)
Premise: Family feuding in the land of the rich.
Cast: Larry Hagman (J.R Ewing), Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing), Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing), Victoria Principal (Pamela Ewing), Ken Kercheval (Cliff Barnes), Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie)
High point: So many. Who didn't cry buckets when Bobby died? And who wasn't on the edge of their seat when JR was shot?
Low point: Bobby's return. We all wanted him back but did he have to have been in Pam's shower for the past year, his death just a figment of her dream?
Lamest stunt to boost ratings: Bobby returns in the episode entitled 'Blast From the Past'.
Latest news: There are rumours of a new big-screen Dallas movie.

Dynasty
First aired in US: 1981
Number of seasons: 9
Premise: Yet more family feuds: Dynasty was a great symbol of '80s excess.
Cast: John Forsythe (Blake Carrington), Linda Evans (Krystle Carrington), Joan Collins (Alexis Carrington), Emma Samms (Fallon Carrington Colby), Gordon Thomson (Adam Carrington), Jack Coleman (Steven Carrington).
High point: Pretty much anything Joan Collins and her evil alter ego did - in particular her cat fight with Krystle (Linda Evans) in the mud.
Low point: Fallon's abduction by aliens.
Lamest stunt to boost ratings: Far too many to count. Plot lines became increasingly ridiculous as the show progressed, often throwing in plane crashes, amnesia, murders, abductions, shootings, etc… left, right and centre. The biggest stunt, however, had to be the massacre at the Royal wedding.
