Top TV comebacks of all time?
Some older WB members may recall Dallas the cult soap of the 80s about a family of wealthy Texan oil barons and then modern day cowboys. The show enjoyed record viewing figures and one of the highlights came in the last episode of the 1st series when one of the main characters, Bobby Ewing gets run over and dies, which you would think was, well, final. Not so, the Hollywood scriptwriters weaved their magic and resurrected him for the next series.
Fast-forward just over quarter of a century and the London version of Dallas, Barclays, although great viewing is less believable than its American equivalent of the past. Apart from the fact that Dallas centred on the oil industry and Barclays, banking, both shows follow a similar theme.
The main characters manipulate their respective markets, engage in underhand deals and double-cross their clients making Billions of dollars (£s) along the way. In the latest episode of Barclays, the lead character Bobby is axed from the show. The Westminster script writers are keeping viewers in suspense and the cause of his demise close to their chests. Was he shot? Has he been taken to the newly named Elizabeth ll tower (formerly ‘Big Ben’?)
The Westminster writers of the show just might surprise us all and Bobby may make a comeback to join the rest of the cowboys in Barclays. Tune into tomorrow’s show to find out.
‘That’s all folks!’
:P :P :P
