Can anyone point me to any past threads (because I can't be arsed to
go digging around for myself) concering Grant Morrison's influences
for Division X, ie Department S, Jason King and the Sweeney?

I'm not sure where I got this from but I'm sure I remember Division
X having an earlier incarnation in a failed TV pilot written by Mr
Moz.

I don't know that we had any specific threads, Citizen Smith; 70sman
and myself just polluted other, more serious threads with cries of
'Shut it, you slaaaag!' and, 'You're goin' daahn, sunshine.' And so
on.

Just like you, Twig, I can't remember where I read it, but you're
right: The Grant sez that DIVISION X was a TV pilot he wrote about
eight years back, but it was rejected by the BBC. "Psychic
detectives?" they said. "Too weird. No one will believe it."
Six months later, Fox Networks USA premiered a little show called
THE X-FILES.

Personally, i jumped for joy when I first saw Regan, Carter and
Jason King make it into the Invisibles. King especially - author,
playboy and secret agent. A floppy haired fancy Dan, camp as
Christmas but with a sex-kitten on each arm and an ice-pack on his
forehead after too many Martinis. Flint and Harper, too - The
Sweeney was crying out for a skewed 90s makeover and this is it. Did
The Sweeney make America, by the way?

Sweeney! - the film was on Scottish Television (thats regional ITV
in Britain) last night. Farkin great!
It was pretty weird to see Harper and Flint utilising their cover
personalities so effectivley. Also, just to see the mastery of
Grant's dialogue and coreography of their actions replicated so
accurately in comic book form is impressive.
Shut it!
