Adrian; I think he swapped names with someone else to get Dawn's.  I did like the Office ending though partucularly when Brent showed his real self and told the twatty sales guy to FO.

I think basically in Quantum Leap that Sam was forever to move through history correcting wrongs, but this time on his own as he had 'put right' the life of Al so that he ended up wife his wife.  It was set in a bar (or cafe) if IIRC and God was the barman (a guy who had appeared in the first episode), but it was a long time ago I saw this so I could be off..

Buffy was OK
Quantum Leap was a little confusing (and I was sad to see it go as it was part of the TV staple diet in college - Tuesday's were 'Quantum Leap' day)
X-Files I can't even remember as I'd given up on it well before then.
MASH was great (and I only saw it for the first time recently).
The Mysterious Cities of Gold was good IIRC as was Ulysees 31 (was that its name?), just because the tied up the loose ends of a cartoon and I'd not seen that happen before this time.

'Between The Posts' - 3 or more of you chuck some money into the pot (say 50p each) and then one person deals two cards (face up) from the pack and the person to his left has the opportunity of betting that the next card dealt will land between the values of the two cards showing. If (s)he wants to bet (and they don't have to if the cards are too close together) then they bet against the pot.  So for example; if they have been dealt a 4 and a Jack then they could go 20p that the next card will fall between these two, if the card does (i.e. a 5 to a 10) they get to take 20p from the pot; if the card falls outside of these (1-3 or Q to K) then they put 20p into the pot.  The rub comes if they 'hit the post' i.e. get dealt a 4 or a Jack, as they then have to put in double their stake, i.e. 40p.

This doesn't sound so bad but if you get an 2 and a King dealt (good cards) and 'go the pot' and it turns up another 2 or a K then you have to double the pot, so a 1.50 pot becomes 4.50 pot.

You then work your way around the table (including the dealer) until the pack is finished, it is then shuffled and the next person deals.  Only other rules are if an ace is dealt first card the person can choose high or low, but an ace dealt second is always high.  And if you are dealt 2 of the same cards you can split them and have two goeas against the pot (if you so wish)...

A great game to lose money and friendships with.

Poker and Brag and a nasty little gambling game called down here 'Between The Posts' (ask if you are dum enough to want to play it (money gets to build up really fast) and I'll post the rules).

And then - Kerplunk!

Dredd excellent.
Red Seas - I wasn't that fussed overall (maybe a re-read would help) but I'm with Art on the ending, it felt a bit of a cop-out (and very telegraphed).
VCs - Another telegraphed bit with that death...'I Love You......'; 'Oh shit - that means its either me or you for the chop then......'
Valkeries was OK.
