Extending the quote as a clue:

"Arthur Dent, you are not merely a cruel and heartless man, you are also staggeringly tactless."

Oh feck! I read a slew of Douglas Adams last year - time to dig them all out again!

I can't believe Numf or Sonnie haven't guessed this as they could probably quote the whole series between them.

Character's name begins with an "A"

I can't remember the guys name - but was it him that had the Theatre of Hate? Every time he was reincarnated Arthur Dent managed to kill him off - whether it was as a fly or a fish or, most famously as a potted plant - hence the "Oh no, not again!" quote.

This would have been in the Theatre of Hate when he had captured Arthur and was planning to exact his revenge. If memory serves me correctly this was where Arthur learned to fly, as per a previous question of Reboots.

Unfortunately it's probably been close on 20 years since I've read it, and I've never had a mind for remembering names, Susan.

It wasn't the Great Arkleseizure was it? No, that was something else......

You're right on the where, and you're on the right lines with the rest (including the bowl of petunias ].

The Arkleseizure was the thing which (one race believes) sneezed the universe into existence [they live in constant fear of The Coming of The Great White Hankerchief ]

Okay, it's Agrajag, and it was the Catherdal of Hate, not Theatre.

Thanks Google.

Away thou goest.

It's a fair cop!

Anyway, on to the question:-

Name two sci-fi films in which
a - Ian Holms stars
b - there is a character by the name of Dallas.

Pretty easy one there for yous lot.

I'm guessing here, but Alien and Dune?

Good start - fell down with the second guess though.

Keep trying.

does Ian Holm AND a character named Dallas have to be in the same movie?

The first would of course be Alien where Ian was Ash and Tom Skerritt was Dallas.

The second was The Fifth Element with Ian as Priest Vito Cornelius and Bruce Willis as Major Korben Dallas.

Spot on, LL.

Your go.

IMO Fifth Element was a great sci-fi movie. Even if Willis was in it.

How far into the future was Max Headroom said to take place?

Was it something like twenty or thirty minutes Scott? (Alan says 20, I say 30)

Alan is right. The episodes were always said to take place "20 minutes in the future". I think there was even a novel or book based on the show that used that phrase as its title.

Since you posted though, B, I'll hand it over to you.

Bother! that's me owe him a meal then! Poo!

I'll let Alan know and maybe even allow him to come up with a question for you all

'cks sake B - get that lazy arsed hubby of yours to give us a Q.

Whoops, I forgot, I'll remind him when he gets in tonight

Sorry, I forgot to post a question before, so off the top of my head here goes --- which Naval themed space series did David Feintuch write, and who was the lead character in the first four books?

So. Ken, from one lazy arsed husband to another, will this do?

Absolutely, Spanner.

As for the answer - FIIK !

Nope, I don't remember that book Ken

You ask the question - then can't remember the answer!!!!

I'm telling Bel on you.

Sorry for the confusion I caused.

I think Alan's saying that he can't remember a book called FIIK, not that he can't remember the book he's talking about.

Although it takes him two hands, a compass and a map to find his arse somedays .......

The IIK stands for If I Know, and it was a comment, not an attempt at an answer.

He's so gonna kick YOUR arse Numf.

That is if he ever gets off the couch again

Now boys, I hate to show you all up but I know the answer
