Is the Equaliser really the hardest TV character ever?

Channel 4 seemed to think that he was and I was horrified.

Is he the one who calls in three favours a show to win one new favour credit, thus suggesting that he will soon run out of favours to call in and will have to rely on his own dubious talents?

um, dunno. But he's not as hard as BA Baracus and that is a fact.

C'mon - B.A. Baracus wouldn't get in no flying machine - how hard is that?

Good point and one which I totally neglected. And he drank milk and dug Boy George. I still think he would wup Edward Woodward though and he wouldn't be stupid enough to get himself trapped in a great big whicker man.

That hard bitch from Murder She Wrote.

Hunter, of the eponymous '80s TV series. He was frickin' hard, man.

Him or Portland Bill. He held no fear of the rolling seas, in his little rowing boat. You can keep your guns and your stony faces, I know who I admire, and it's P Bill.

yosser hughes vs oz from Auf wiedershein pet

I'd pay a pound to see that fight, not forgetting Bomber of course who was actually a wrestler.

I can't believe that Jonnie hasn't mentioned The Rock yet

But he's REAL!

Hunter used to shoot someone in every episode during the first season. I think it got toned down for the second season and, not surprisingly, that's when it started to suck.

The former racist skinhead on Oz was a sick mofo. (The character I'm talking about was played by the guy who was Julia Roberts's fiance in "Runaway Bride" and is now on "Law and Order: SVU".) I mean, the only guy who was more evil than him was the psychotic black dude who used to rape people in the kitchen.

That second series was just as good because his female partner (designed as Hunter's conscience) started shooting more people than he did. Equality on the hard characters, yes please.

I gave you equality but noone is willing to "recognise" that beeotch from murder she wrote.

Minmae was hardest of all. I mean, she gets taken across the solar system and is usually just about to die and still puts on concerts, swallowing her fear and showing her pride. Skill, see.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 10 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes but did she have a voice that would crack glass? And was she mates with the sheriff?

The only episode I remember from "The Equalizer" was the one where Adam Ant played the CEO of an evil pimp corporation. There was a scene where this big thug guy was dragging this girl out who was crying and screaming. Adam stopped him, paused, and said "Remembah... no brooooozes.... no leeeeezhuns"

That and I thought the opening music to "The Equalizer" was shit cool.

actually minmei had a voice which turned giant aliens into gibbering imbeciles so we (the planet of eurth) was able to whoop their fuckin zentradi asses.

pop muzik = our first line of defense. always.

Well angela solved many crimes and she was threatened by thugs all the time and she still managed to have tea with her old friend mr............ in whatever town it was in. In fact her and Matlock should have gone and fucked each other.

eleven months pass...

ok ok, but which was the hardest horse, champion or black beauty?

― kjn, Tuesday, 13 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cham-peen silly. Black Beauty kept getting sold to people because he was crap. The Black Stallion on the other hand. And Follyfoot.

― Pete, Tuesday, 13 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

five months pass...

Jessica Fletcher truly was a deadly harbinger of death indeed. Whenever Ms. Lansbury turned up, someone always bought the farm.
