Dwight shorts everybody holding my brew doc Dwight the show is all about reuniting you know the cast in you know talking to you about the show we may be getting you together with some of the other guys I'm talking you know fakes Mandarin Benedict's can I yeah I just can I can I finish this before you finished the voiceover could I just maybe get a yes hopefully that you would agree to take part in our show bring back the 18 and you would agree also to reunite with your fellow cast members of course I'm real now mr. Dwight Schultz everybody to have the annual Dwight just to seal the deal I love you say that do you know that when a plan comes together right come on I love this there we go oh holy map mood off that's right all you love it when a plan comes together okay come on Justin good signs [Music] certified nutter howling mad Murdock was the super skilled pilot capable of flying absolutely anything this thing is supposed to fly I got no fear I got anything but Murdoch nearly didn't make the series as TV execs were going to give him the boots halfway through filming the first episode the skies backing him god save the queen why were they gonna fire you they they thought I was over the top and I am over the top I mean you know I I'm an over actor I go in that direction right I'm up there I'm intense and and they thought it was too intense too over-the-top too much and but they changed their minds yeah Brandon Tartikoff called my agent and said Dwight's dials are really good what does that mean the dials are they they test the show and they literally the audience is there with a dial and when you like the character you turn it all the way to the right and when you don't turn it all the way the left and my dials were off the charts even when they just heard my voice he said they turn the dials all the way to the right they crank it way up right so then they wrote me back in so to what do you remember when you find out who the other who your fellow actors were gonna be playing the part oh yes I won't be see I would imagine you were well aware of pep art well to realize I was gonna work with Peppard and was it was just a thrill and I walked into the trailer the makeup trailer the first time and I said mister pardon my name is Dwight Schultz how are you he says yes I am George Peppard and I'm not a very nice man that is so help me God that is what he said to me his opening loyalty I am durable and I am not a very nice man when I was a kid watching this show I remember the stories would occasionally come out that maybe you all didn't get along yeah I think it was it you know he was a movie star yeah George was a movie star and I mean it in the best and worst sense I'll tell you this is this is George in a nutshell if you had a gun on the set George would look at the look at the gun he'd walk off and come back with a bigger one we are slightly right that's amazing isn't it yeah it is well but that's movie stars Hollywood is a place of ego and I think it created a lot of problems in tensions between George and T did they not get home not later they didn't I don't think George ever accepted the fact that T was the star of the show do you think mr. C really wants the big strategy I think he was the draw I think T was the big draw there is no question about it he was very famous and people wanted to see what mr. T was gonna be doing on television and do you think that narcs pepper he couldn't really get his head around the fact that he was George Peppard an old Hollywood star that's right who's this new guy with the crazy fool in a mohawk in the chains that's right that's right I think George was the movie star of the actor and he wanted to be the star of the 18 so I'm gonna go after mr. t obviously I says I would I mean I would like mr. t to be part of this you know reunification of the 18 yes the odds of getting him involved or probably long probably I'm gonna be somewhat intimidated because very suppose the question is is he an as intimidating off can be really yes he can be could also be very sweet is she quite easy to upset well I wouldn't say upset I mean I you know he just won't talk to you he just peed just dismiss you he can be very dismissive really yeah sure legend coming up I'm going round in circles looking for dirt Benedict the face developed and they were their face from 18 excuse me I'm really sorry to bother you you aren't mr. Joe Benedict's aunt I'm on a mission to get some answers from this guy but getting through to him is driving me to despair we're here for mr. T there's absolutely no way we're getting into this place they're following us off basically I'm in LA trying to reunite the cast of the greatest American TV show of the 1980s my favorite show as a kid the a-team can I see it it's been a great start with howling mad Murdock already on board but it shocked me the stories of conflict between George Peppard and T the only way to get to the bottom of all that is to find the man who plays ba Baracus the Aging's original king of playing everyone's warned us that getting to tea is like a mission impossible but the Hollywood gossip reckon he'll make a surprise appearance in a glitzy awards show tonight so the jlc is going undercover to get him well it's a big night in our Hollywood tonight we're on our way to the Latin Grammy Awards I'm all stupid up as you can see I got me boats hang on and maybe with a bit of luck mr. t will be here we don't have any official invites but I reckon I've got the right look to slip through the door hi hey how you doing are you going to the Grammys yeah you want to be in it we've all got a press passes on but that's not the press credentials for here we've box together some fake press passes to blog our way onto the red carpet but it's not fooling security and it looks like I'm gonna have to sweet talk my way in yeah apparently mr. T's gonna be here tonight when they're with him how things are like I love mr. CJ mr. - yeah isn't it even ready yeah oh I love mr. C what's he like you know what he's real he's just down her really yeah hide she's loud he's very loud still the way he is on TV is the way he is in real life really yes it's gonna be here tonight who's there mr. t boots you gotta be kidding me man oh where let me go find them can we go with you I don't have credit extra credentials what credentials do I have arrival credentials there it's as I've done can you help us with this I've got my permit my film permit there seems to be some confusion as a fellow 18 fan we both love to start to run out and if you can do that for me I'll introduce you the team I've struck lucky bonding with a fellow 18 fan who works for the awards show maybe he can get me Rhone security [Music] time is running out we've heard mr. tears at the venue but without the right pass I can't even get through the gates mr. T's has gone in mr. T's in there yeah mr. T's he's expecting us so how do we get in there I flown over 5,000 miles to get here and I'm so close my cab let T slip away so I'm gonna have to resort to some bare-faced lying with the powers-that-be we're here for mr. t mr. t and sorry we can't help you whether we have a permit with here from zero television we have a conscience that's not your pad yeah I know this Alice told me but he said we needed to come up here to swap more pass no we don't have any moisture on your list I'm sorry we can't help you right now okay we're on your list though close the door [Music] I've got to be honest that was a massive kick in the nuts and I have a sinking feeling getting to mr. t it's going to be way harder than I first thought it's a new day and as I'm still a long way off getting mr. T I've decided to set my sights on the face [Music] after some exhaustive great work we've come up with a cunning plan and with everything now in place it's time to calm the a-teams con man you know charge food really yeah you're happy for me to risk getting thrown out of the building the face man was a silver-tongued sex God yes even I'd have thought him anta C is my middle name his gift of the Galvan we got him the latest but more importantly liked anything the 80 needed to help beat the bad guys I know I have a certain flair for persuasion the smooth-talking bastard like sample times in half nine it's half past nine in the morning we've flown Dirk Benedict aka the face man from the 18th flown over from Montana we've brought him over on a ruse he thinks he's here for a meeting about a big new project sometime this afternoon he's not obviously he's not expecting me he's not expected to be ambushed we're gonna run in and we're gonna hit the face walking wrong hey come on let's get the face man because through the Diwali party with Jesus or destroy it okay what there's a left left left Lucifer for restaurants terrestrial [Music] yeah I'm looking for Dirk Benedict and their face from eating no stairs there are guys is after Benedict Custer bonus assertively Oh rocking wrong excuse me I'm really sorry to bother you are mr. dirt benedict's yes you are Dirk Benedict aka fates from the 18 dirt my name is Justin I'm from channel 4 New England we are a long way from home I'm a long ass doing a show could bring back the a-team and of course you are big part of the show you remember the 18 I do I do it thank God I start bad as I remember I was big in that jar I've carried this you don't see it can I'd sit you think I'm sure thank you there is this alright cuz it's a little nerve-wracking let me cut to the chase Dirk would you win you were faced my hating for four years between music quite good at this you know but I'm not used to being ambushed well this is brilliant because are you gonna bring us back I am doing this bring back show called bring back the a-team I would love to reunite you with your fellow cast actually if you can if you can get some of the guys back together oh I would I would join you come on I love it when a plan comes together good times [Music] having charmed all those knickers off on the show I'm hoping the face might spill his beans on white no female stars lasted more than one series I'm also gagging to find out about the fisticuffs between the late George Peppard and mr. t how much fun was it being a part of the 18 was so much fun it was it was a guys show was male-driven it was written by guys it was directed by guys acted by guys it was about what guys do we talked the way guys time we were the boss we were the god we were we smoked when we wanted we shot guns when we wanted we kissed the girls and made them cry when we wanted it was the last truly masculine show do you think I'll go on record as saying that yeah male-driven it's all the feminization of television is complete it's all watched by women it's you remember we were written for women when guys on a talk the way women want guys to talk they don't talk like guys it's just the this this feminist fantasy so so you think in the 18 back then you were all mean real guys it was a real guy shot my guns and it was women kids love boys liked us and older girls like this moms like to watch us cuz we were guys and women like to watch guys I'm sorry I know that's kind of a sexist statement but they like it's kind of it was kind of appealing was George Peppard be so confident so sure off camera were you guys did that kind of sense of you know testosterone kind of prevail well late Thursday's I occasionally dress up but other than that pretty much the thing is I mean there were a couple of big female characters in that show we had Amy first of all and then of course amy was replaced by Tanya Pramod Amy Melinda Cooley she gathered to be a guy right and I pleaded with her to play the girl no she wanted a gun she wanted a fist fight she wanted to come through the door I said that's what Tina's yes what you're which does yeah so I think that's not what she was drawn to well the character you don't know although we were blamed for it I just one day found out she was complaining a lot so I know they and we were a hit she we're number one show and they didn't need that and I think they just thought you know this is Harrison do you think mr. t became the star of the show and George Peppard didn't like that because part of course was the Hollywood guy pepper did not realize what a big star mr. T was before the show he did rocky yeah it's like a really big deal it's a huge food was huge film and he was huge in it and he was had this great story from rags to riches when we go shoot he was mobbed he was mobbed and I did buy the George yeah I think it did which was sad I remember stories at the time where George wouldn't talk directly to t so if he needed to say something to see what kind of maybe do it through you George would say to me Dirk would you tell the man with the gold the next time we do this I would appreciate it if he could say his line a little sooner and I go okay and once there I'm in the middle once there I'm in there this cause I go t George was to know if Nick and T's going but I would do it I go cuz it was it was yes our son George would ask me to do it so I go t George what's the next time you did you say line a little faster if he was going tell mr. football I ain't no actor but I'll try I'll try my best I said George he's gonna try he's gonna do his best okay that's crazy it's crazy it's funny can we do this so you coming along to the reunion I'll be there come on a ka templates and face pack you'll have security to keep all the fans away absolutely well I love T fans away you'll never ambush mr. t and live to talk about it you don't think I'm gonna get you no no way forget it you would be surprised I think you have a better chance of getting George people part I've got more chance of getting pet part than I've got of getting mr. t right that's not good good luck pal the face has blown me away with his revelations about the eighteen and while mr. t must hold most of the answers I'm sure in the meantime the women will have plenty of dirt that needs dishing in season one there was a character called Amy she was dropped after that for a season and replaced by an actress called Marla Heasley there she is she was stunning played a character called Tanya Baker she also lasted only one season this show was testosterone soaked was all about the cocking bulls and the women didn't seem to get on very well with the men so I'd like to find out why and I'd like to find out what the experience was like working on the a teen for a young actress so we've got our researchers on it and we understand it on a Sunday morning she does her shopping in the Beverly Hills region so we're gonna go out there if I find her I think it's gotta be softly softly don't go erin in because she may not want to talk about the 18 so let's go in soft let's turn on the jlc charm I'll work me magic and I see if we can get her on board because seriously when I turn it on women go to [ __ ] I hurry you rock and roll you maybe you wanna what did you not tell me are you Marla Jesus or a great-looking guy I'm not Jesus my more of a John the Baptist rock and roll I love it my publicity stunt isn't glory Morna directly to me so I have to sniff write myself genome or the guy's genome Marla from the 18 easily what I know Oh God do you love him I'll enough mr. teen I'm gonna try and find him for you now I like when he said I pity the fool I love you too across this street let's go can we walk is this jaywalking am i jaywalking I

name mara Marla Marla oh my god excuse me really really sorry to bother you and happen to be more analogy [Applause] Sonia Baker in the 18 yeah I'm doing a show called bring back the 18 for the UK I'm completely serious and I wonder if you wouldn't mind giving me a few moments maybe so they were sit down to a chat about the show and also I'm wondering if you'd be up for maybe reuniting with your fellow cast members the surviving members of course mr. t voice Schulz Murdock face turret Benedict this isn't a joke would you be up for talking to me and soon with you seriously come on I love it I

Sonia Baker who worked for the Fab Four's their Informer and linked with the outside world she was brought in to replace Amy triple-a Alan and spent most of her time acting the coxey's to keep the bad guys off the trail of the 18 but like her predecessor Marla was dropped after just one series [Music] why do you think you only stayed for one season was it your decision no no no I think probably George fought it he didn't I don't think he really wanted I really don't think that he thought that a girl wasn't even my first day of work I showed up my call was at 5:00 in the morning I put my things away my trailer I went to the makeup trailer I maybe made it to the makeup trailer like it a minute after 5:00 and George was in the makeup trailer now his call I don't think was still 7:00 but he was there and he looked at his watch he said you're a minute late I went oh okay I was young and I was really happy to be on the show but that scared me he was serious he was very serious he was really serious he said when you're finished with your makeup I would like to talk to you please come to my trailer I said okay really so you went to sew his trailer and he said have a seat I said okay you said I just want you to know that we don't want you on the show he said we don't want you on the show he said none of the guys want you here he said the only reason you're here is because the network and the producers want you for some reason they think they need a girl it's your first day on the job they're scared to death yeah you're scared anyway I'm their sister George Peppard when he did that that's that just you know devastated me and that's the reason I ended up getting off the show actually the last day of work my very last day he took me aside and he said you know I'm sorry this is your last day but remember what I said the very first day that we didn't want a girl has nothing to do with you he said you were very professional he said but no reason to have a girl so you up for the reunion yeah absolutely [ __ ] get everyone together absolutely morally you'll be gonna be there what are you doing that could somehow bring pop art back would you say a few things to him bring the ghost over yeah the spirit of petty things that we couldn't compete you know what we could all have a seance why huh oh come on and bring bring back George [Music] don't feel anything Ollis suggestion of a sales has got me thinking but this be the way to reach the main man George Babar and ask him about his time on the 80 nose up big Hummer do you see that so is this it sigh yeah okay this is a Madame francesca psychic to the stars in the tank full of cooks apparently this lady is one of the kookiest so let's go in meet madam Fran and see if she can bring back the pair part it's gonna be art she's never seen the [ __ ] show before a man with a bad-boy reputation George Peppard starred in some of the major Hollywood blockbusters of the sixties before moving into TV in the 70s he was originally cast as Blake Carrington in dynasty but was sensationally sir and replaced by Jon Forsyte after full nights with the producers first choice James Coburn was unavailable for the role of Hannibal Smith so pepper was eventually given the job as the cigar-chomping leader of the 18 the master of disguises and a [ __ ] brilliant minstrel don't reach for anything unless you want to see everybody's brains all over the rug was he happy on the a-team was that experience a happy experience for him it hit more vibrations listen please such arises speaking Lea speaking she had to be quiet sorry we did not want to leave they didn't wanna leave you no he did not the show was canceled in 1987 it was the number-one show in the world Annie parastone and he's travelling through the night thinking why was the next it was the number one shot yes do you think if only we can get an answer to that question for him he'll be able to move on yes are you serious yes can you ask him what he thinks about mr. t you're not gonna speak anymore you've told me whatever you want to tell you me to tell you what a nice lady was shot Mary yes it's your dinner [Music] the set set is coming up the spirit of George Peppard leads me to the co-creator of the 18 excuse me but the roots of mr. team remains as rocky as ever bloody out sorry my mission is to bring back the cast of the a-team and get them in the same room together for the first time in nearly 20 years so far and for howling mad Murdock signed up Sonia Baker is on board and Ladykiller faces promise to come if he's not soup is he shagging however time's running out and I'm still no closer to mr. t along the way I've uncovered some seriously heavy [ __ ] about the 18 and undetermined to track down mr. teeth to find out what went on between him and pepper for the last few days I've been staking out mr. Chiu's production company with no joy has their end any attempts to talk to him or his representatives on the phone have been fruitless ie without fruits people are giving me different numbers and I'm being hither thither forget I'll come back what about mr. t take us to mr.
