What If two thrills that wouldn't lie down met up. Both these thrills seemed to have their last appearance in 1980. But good thrills never stay dead (fitting in one case in particular!). VCs came back 22 years later; Fiends waited a little longer waiting 26 years. Both were fun in the 'classic' era, but came back to be something even better (opinion!). But which is best?
b]To Vote[/b] Just reply in this thread naming your favourite thrill of these two series at the beginning of your post (or use Bold tags so I can spot it easily) and say what you like about these wonderful stories after that.
Match ends early on the morning of Saturday 24th September and the winner gets a place ... well nowt this is just for fun.

Easy peasy for the VCs.
The classic era versions are neck and neck for me, but the reboots are no contest.
I think the first VCs run is one where 'you had to be there.' I read it recently and it was... fine. I loved the first series of Abnett's revival, but I think that had a lot to do with Henry Flint, because my interest quickly dwindled there, too.
Fiends hasn't all been plain sailing, but there's no doubt it's had far, far more moments of greatness than VCs has ever managed.
Fiends of the [Various] Fronts
Fiends of the Eastern Front (but the first two series...and novels. I don't care much for the new/current Fiends).
Relatively quiet here which is a shame as its an exciting tie between two great, timeless thrills head to head and close. Those last day votes will make a difference so get um in.
VCs.
Fiends of the (various) Fronts.

If I had the skills, I would definitely be using MS Paint to draw Captain Constanta posing in a variety of different styles of underpants right about now.

Also, this is my vote.
VOTING CLOSED
All the football cliche's abound here. It was indeed a game of two halves as VCs stormed to a led but then Fiends clawed it back in the second half. But the best team find a way and play to the very end. VCs was in the lead going into extra time and Fiends just kept coming and coming and just found something. VCs played some magnificent stuff, it was end to end stuff but in the end
Fiends
just wanted it a little bit more and left VC as sick as a parrot vampire bat.
