   I've been planning to watch these movies for a couple of years now.  And   
   I don't know why but randomly a couple of weeks ago a video about the   
   making of Logan's Run popped up on my YouTube feed.  It's an interesting   
   video that talks about the making of the movie and details how a deleted   
   scene explains why they went from naked to fully clothed in the ice cave   
   scene.  I don't think I even noticed the continuity error before this   
   video pointed it out.

   Never heard of it before.  I watched most of my British TV on PBS as a   
   kid in the 80s and 90s.  If PBS didn't show it, I never heard of it.  I   
   think post 90s the only "new" British show I watched on PBS was Sherlock.
