Was my absolute favourite series for so many years, really shaped some of my interests growing up. Revisited some of it last week or two and it's not aged well. Very tame compared with some of today's series but one or two of the episodes still quite effective. I was utterly obsessed with it. Still got all the magazines and trading cards and VHS's in the attic. I pretty much memorised the entire Series 1 script. Could've told you every single tiny detail of every single episode at the time. Mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first series that really sucked me in, the end of series cliffhangers leaving you all summer or whatever to wait and see what happened were excruciating. As if either of the main characters were really going to be killed off when they'd signed up for another series, but no, the amount of times I was genuinely fearing for weeks that Mulder was dead 😂 How mad it seems now that they used to release individual episodes on VHS. No special features or owt, just an episode on video and people used to buy them. Must have watched the Tunguska video about 1000 times thinking it was genuinely filmed in Siberia!

Like the 90's version of Twilight Zone, but better. Haven't watched it back recently, but I'm sure I'd still enjoy them, even if it's just for the nostalgia. And Gillian Anderson.....

Members bolty58 Posted April 6, 2023 Members Share Posted April 6, 2023 Mentioned it before but there's an Aussie drama called Last king Of The Cross which is worth a look. My workmates took me for a night out to Kings Cross within a month of arriving in Oz. It was within a year of that depicted in the series. Fucking hell - talk about anything goes! The girl attending to us was a Chelsea fan from Maida Vale in London. Interesting interlude with my then boss and a bottle opener but I'll save that one for another time. The series is a bit exaggerated but very reminiscent of how the Cross was in the late eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
