Is it on youtube? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's on the BBC iPlayer here, although I think that's only available in the UK. Don't recognize the music, I'm afraid. Tevildo (talk) 20:59, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it'll take someone in the UK (or someone with a proxy) to answer this. Dismas|^(talk) 21:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see it either, although I do know that the music for the series was written by John Tams (who also acted in it). --Viennese Waltz 10:27, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Game like Brigador, but from early 2000s/late 90s, with a hoverbot

I am looking to identify a PC game which I played around late 90's to early 2000s, somewhat similar to the new game Brigador, which is in steam early access now. But whilst Brigador is having a mech as the playable character, the game I had used to have a hovercraft kind of robot/vehicle. It used to have a story line, like you are infiltrating a police state, and you shoot up things in the city, but you got to hide from patrol police bots. Also the action used to take place in daylight, instead of in the night as ib Brigador.

Anyone has any hints on what game it might be?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gulielmus estavius (talk • contribs) 16:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Wikipedia article titled Brigador, there are several similar games so noted. Do any of these match what you are looking for? If not, Wikipedia has Category:Mecha simulation computer games which may also be helpful. --Jayron 32 17:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article mentions Syndicate and Mechwarrior, and those are not the game I was looking for.Gulielmus estavius (talk) 18:30, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I want to suggest Hover! but I don't think that game had a plot of any sort. Was this game also a real-time strategy/real-time tactics game? FrameDrag (talk) 20:40, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Future Cop: LAPD? uhhlive (talk) 21:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neither Hover nor FutureCop. Once characteristic though, the game was isometric.Gulielmus estavius (talk) 18:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Police", "hovercraft", "isometric" and "PC" leads me to UFO: Extraterrestrials at GameFAQS. But you didn't mention aliens, so I'm skeptical. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:06, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

It's also a bit too recent, I think. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:08, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

And UFO: Enemy Unknown is a bit too early. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:14, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Annie 1982/1999 film difference

What is the difference between the 1982 and the 1999 film versions of Annie?81.154.19.58 (talk) 20:35, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article for the '99 film says it's more comical. Were you looking for a scene by scene comparison? Dismas|^(talk) 20:53, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I was looking for a scene by scene comparison.81.154.19.58 (talk) 22:50, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some fans discussing the differences [1], here's a review of the performances in each [2], and here's a youtube video that compares the versions [3]. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:45, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mendelssohn theme (in the Christmas song Night of Nights)

It's from the Andante introduction to the Rondo capriccioso in E, Op. 14. Here are some performances of it. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 21:40, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

True

Is the wedding rumors of Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris true? Chandelia16 (talk) 11:44, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, as of September 29. No idea if anything has changed in the past month. There was a more recent rumor which has also been debunked. --Jayron 32 12:41, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD season 2

Neither of these two shows are available to Canadian consumers, so far as I can tell. Apparently, because they were released as Amazon.com exclusives they were not packaged with French labels/subtitles, rendering them unfit for selling commercially in Canada. Amazon.ca simply says they're unavailable. First, is my understanding correct? Second, other than enduring Amazon's international shipping fees (plus duty), is there any legal way for me as a Canadian to get a physical hard copy of these shows? 99.235.223.170 (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How were the scenes shot when Arnold Schwarzenegger punched horses and camels?
