I mean, what more could anyone ask?

Which is god-awful and only regarded as "good" because some kids in the 80s started watching it, the sheep followed (usually after a night at the pub) and it got cult status - but it's crap through-and-through!

So I can't agree with you there. Surely a film is great because people love to watch it - not cos it's designated a "classic". I can't bare Citizen Kane, or many Awful Wells films, for that matter.
