Eric Morris becomes Kirk St Moritz (Dear John)

The final podcast of our current series (the deepest of dives into 1986-1987 cult classic Dear John) is out now, in which we discuss (amongst various tangents) this PERFECT scene in which Eric becomes Kirk St Moritz once more, to rescue his friends....

Kirk St Moritz was a living legend. I so wanted to be him when I was young.

one of the best sit coms ever the 80's were a golden age for the sit com

[@jims974]

John Sullivan wrote them all, that's why!

[@ianhoward4246]

One of the best programmes the BBC put out ,it's a very close run thing with Just Good Friends

[@jims974]

Both written by the genius that was John Sullivan (rest in peace)

I really enjoyed Bread too. Sitcoms were more raw and real.

[@danielmcfall4106]

Brilliant ..one of the best

Great show. Like Minder and Fools and Horses it was funny without being foul-mouthed and had great characters. Kirk should have been such an unlikable tosspot but he was so well-played by Peter Blake you couldn’t help but like him. I remember watching this scene when I was about 13-14 and going “go on Kirk, go on my son”. Really well-written with a lovely understated lead performance by Ralph Bates.

As much as I loved the show, I wondered if, had Ralph Bates not sadly passed away, whether they could have gotten a third series
John Sullivan sort of wrote himself into a corner here…Eric/Kirk was portrayed as a fantasist and mummy’s boy, yet here he EFFORTLESSLY defeats 1/2 dozen Hells Angels
So…was Kirk actually telling the truth, and he was really a spy?

Great Sitcom ✌️

You tube take down all efforts due to copyright. Feckers, it really is a forgotten classic
