A Plan Comes Together

Last Friday night as I was tidying up the dinner plates and making a cup of tea (yes folks, another excitement-filled Friday in New York City!) I was, for no apparent reason, whistling aimlessly.

Only it wasn’t quite as aimless as I thought – because I realised my wife (currently nine months pregnant for those counting) was watching me with a little smile.

“Is your plan coming together?”

I stopped whistling. Oh. Yep, it had been the theme tune to The A-Team.

“You know,” I said, “if the first trailer that gets released for The A-Team movie isn’t a recreation of the credits with the new cast, there’s something seriously wrong with the marketing people.”

She nodded wisely. “In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit.”

“They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.” I replied. “Today they survive as soldiers of fortune – if you have a problem, and if you can find -”

“- if no-one else can help,” she corrected.

I thought about it. “You sure?”

She nodded and motioned to the computer. “Yep.”

I pulled up this -

- and lo and behold she was right, although we’d missed a few bits out. I stopped the video after the narrative, just as the title card comes up – so before the rest of the credits.

“Hey,” she laughed, “you think they’ll have Liam Neeson smoking a cigar in a dinosaur suit?”

This is why my wife is awesome.

Other scenes from the credits I want to see recreated:

BA in a blinged-out construction helmet -

Murdock in a wedding dress -

- or perhaps with his sock puppet -

And, of course, Face and a cylon. New variety if possible:
