That sounds like one of the Sherlock Holmes movies, maybe one with Irene Adler in it? I think I saw an ad for one that involved this scene, but I don't remember the name.
"If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Today."
Thanks for the reply, was there a modern version of Sherlock Holmes around in the 1980s and 1990s when hoovers were still around?The older ones are set in the 1890s so I don't think its them but there may have been a modern version of it? Nobody seems to be able to help me with this, I regret not remembering more but that's all I have.
The original Law and Order maybe?
I checked that and couldn't find anything similar, I tried Sherlock as well but no luck!
Bump! Anyone? Nobody seems to be able to put a name to this show or movie.
bump, I'm curious too
A tv show I saw in the 80s or early 90s, looked like a crime/mystery show. There was a woman in a room being questioned by a guy kind of threatening her, he stood behind her and kept saying "You have 5 seconds to tell me", he could have been a cop I'm not sure but the woman was planning her move, she noticed the retractable cord of a hoover nearby and kind of moved to the right so the guy would have to move too- he put his leg into the electrical cord of the hoover and she turned around and hit the retract button so he was swept off his feet, she used the moment to bang something off his head as he fell to the ground and knock him out...next scene the guy is half stripped and tied down tightly to the bed with the whole length of the hoover cord, and he is gagged too. The woman leans down to him and taunts him by saying "5 seconds? I have 5 years" then walks out. That's all the detail I know. The woman seemed in her 40s, the guy a bit younger. Could have been a British dhow.
Can anyone recognise this tv show or movie please?
