Yes that's true, and I did think about mobile and wireless phones ( in fact a non working mobile phone will be in the story briefly ). The problem is that there is supposed to be no communication with the outside world ( or at least it is heavily restricted ) so letting the characters use mobile phones would sort of require some explanation of why they don't just ring anyone they please. I suppose it could be a limited range service, or some kind of encryption which makes it incompatible with regular mobile phones. A huge advantage to mobile and wireless phones would be that I wouldn't have to worry about the handset wires, which are a major nuisance.
The original used wireless handsets, which I don't think existed at the time, but of course an actor can speak into and listen to a handset without it actually working.
Eventually, (hopefully) I will know what you are all talking about, but let that happen as the story goes along.
background, I use whatever assets I feel like using, and I don't worry overly much about consistency. Just have fun and so will we.
You are right and I would probably sleep better too. I think there is a danger though for me doing that, because I'm trying to keep it semi-plausible. For your stories you have 100% control of Richard's world, and if you want to add a walking talking giant shark, it adds to the fun and doesn't distract at all from the story IMHO. You can have main street with traffic, and nobody is surprised when Richard drives a car. through it. My story ( or more correctly my version of this story ) will go into the surreal at times for sure, and there will be little jokes, but there will still be a reason why those things happen, other then my suddenly deciding to ( for instance ) create a clone of the main character. I know I'm over thinking it, and I might eventually just let rip with chaos ( you know I like a bit of chaos ).. I've decided nothing will be lost by posting a link to a video of the first few minutes of the original, so you can see how inferior my version is

I hope that's viewable where you are, sadly the very start has been missed off., but it's just a shot of clouds in the sky and thunderclaps. Fun trivia, the guy sitting at the desk in the underground room is Geoge Markstein the script editor for thirteen episodes of the series.
My character is not the same guy.because, why re-tell a story that's already been told so well IMHO, so some similar things will happen, but not the same things. The premise of the original is that there is a place where many people are kept confined and interrogated, so I'm trying to tell the story of one of these other people ( and in a different setting ).
OK, my husband says he knows that show very well. I don't remember it at all. But now I know the gist of it. Thanks.
