I was pointed in the direction of this short film by one of my Facebook friends, and immediately found myself thinking of B&D in some wildly AU older lads scenario...

So, what do CI5 agents do when they retire?

Ooh, weird vid (probably cos I don't know who Hopkins and the clown were... *g* - but Sigfried! *g*)

Hee - my retired lads are off to Dorset, I'm actually writing it! Yeay! *g*

I love Robert Hardy, he's a brilliant actor.

The expression on his face when his friend guns down the clown is priceless!

And yay! for older lads in Dorset!!

They seem to have inspired somebody in the Bath area .... *bg*

There's a lovely third-person pov story about them in retirement, taking down a Post Office raider with a shotgun ... if I could only remember the title. You know the one?

I just read that story again too... I know what I'll be doing in my retirement (and now, obviously): trying to remember stuff. *sigh*

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the clip, it was nicely strange.

What a great story! I want to be like that bloke when I grow up!

And oooh, I've read that story too. But I can't remember the title either!!

Must admit that I'm terrible at remembering titles and authors. Most of my conversations at Pros-y gatherings start "You know that one where..."
