Couch Potato's Tuesday Trivia - Black clocks for three Logan's Run stars

News
By ( What's on TV ) published

Logan's Run - that post-apocalyptic adventure from 1976 - tells the tale of a group of citizens living in a hedonistic society which only allows them to live until the age of 30.

Every person in this place has a life clock on their hand. At birth, these start out clear, turning yellow at the age of eight, green at 16, and red at 23. As Lastday - the dreaded age 30 - approaches, the life clocks flash red and black. And, when Lastday arrives they turn totally black.

The irony is that three of this film's main stars - Michael York who plays Sandman-turned-Runner Logan 5, Richard Jordan who plays his friend Francis 7, and Michael Anderson Jr as sinister surgeon Doc - were all over 30 when the film was made.

Logan's Run is showing tonight - Tuesday 24th January - on Film 4 at 6.45pm
