Gan sighting!

I just saw a promo for 'Minder' on our new UKTV channel (which shows old classic British series--no B7 so far) and was sure I'd seen Gan biting someone's hand during a fight. So I googled and found David Jackson plays Big Stan in three eps of 'Minder'--starting tonight! I like what I've seen of 'Minder' so far so I shall be watching.

Greg said rather meanly that it looks as if Gan gets as many witty lines as he did in B7, with that mouthful of hand. Poor Gan.

Well, Gan wasn't meant to be witty, poor lamb. Just apposite. He can sum something up very well; he's good at cutting through verbiage and he can be awfully memorable - eg in Bounty when he confirms so matter-of-factly that he would put his life on the line for the rest, and in Pressure Point when he's done it.

Hey, I like Gan! And he does get a few witty lines, These are on my quotes pages (though I had to scrape to find them):
Space Fall
[after a guard refuses to open a door with a palm-print lock]
GAN: Look, we only need the hand. If you want to stay attached to it, do as you're told.

Mission to Destiny
VILA: Mock if you like, but I can always sense danger.
GAN: Yes, even when there isn't any.

Deliverance
VILA: There's hordes of them! And they don't seem to like us much!
GAN: How can you tell?
I do remember though that David Jackson complained once about how few lines he had.

I haven't seen that 'Minder' ep yet, but it's on the TiVo to watch tonight. I did see Big Stan's first scene though, and he looks as thick as some people think poor Gan was.

P.S. I do love that scene in Bounty too. And Vila not wanting to blow up the ship while Gan's on it.
