Themed Fruit Machines

I've often thought that there could be some great themed machines over the years that never materialised. The graphics and sound samples, along with feature names and such could've been brilliant!
Some examples:
A Little Britain machine, 'Yes/No Continue' would go Yeah, but, no, but, yeah, but, no, but YEAH! or "No!" when you hit it.
Dads' Army. Yep, a bit old, but I loved this and could think of loads of sound effects that'd be perfect for game over / some of the features, etc.
Any you would've liked to have seen?

Great thread.
Surprised there hasn't been an X-factor machine.
The Matrix
Batman
Harry Potter
Blackadder
and a football themed £70 would do well.
Kill off all of this DOND shit.

The matrix would have red and blue pills instead of boxes.
Invincible mode could say " I know Kung-Fu ".
Or " there is no spoons" lol

No one ever thought of making a Deal Or No Deal???
If only!
Family Fortunes would have been good - IM would be STEAL AMANDA HOLDEN. 3 holds would give HOLDEN message. Game Over would just be LES DENNIS MAKES HIS WIFE WISH SHE WAS A LESBIAN SO "NOT TO WORRY".
Oh and for 5 TOP ANSWERS you'd get Amanda Appearing TOPless... oh dear...
Nice bloke I heard...
Oh, and I know she dumped him.
And I know she ain't up to much anymore too (see pics - that's what happens to women who try too hard to stay sexy).

Machine: "There is no spoons".
Player: "What the f***? I'm standing in one?!"

Blackadder, H, would've indeed been great! Little pic of Baldrick as the mystery square.

the A-team ,,,,,,,,,, could be good with 4 different zones representing the four characters
with features like
murdocks mad streak , or murdocks crazy crazy reals
faces con trick
hanibals hold
ba's bar spinner etc etc
lots of '' i aint getting on no plane fools'' sound effects etc
obviously when you get jp ,,,,,,,, you'd hear '' i love it when a plan comes together '' along with the theme tune etc.
or something more popular
(not that im into it ) but im pretty shocked there hasn't been a harry potter fruit by now ,,,,,,, or twilight or (as mentioned ) x factor ,,,,,,,,,,HUGE LICENCES.
or maybe because the target audience in the pub sector is predominantly male ,,,,,,,,,, top gear , football related or glamour girls etc.
ps. good thread

There was a Max Power with a girl spread over a car Lee but it was pulled very quickly, I had one in my local for about 3 days!! It was a clone of Shark Raving Mad I think.

Why not a Fruitchat theme?
Features would be (bottom to top)
John 30 Poo
Like Cash Flash - never more than £1 (ie. monotonous, annoying, wish it wasn't there).
SpyderMoan
Endless money-belt full of crap amounts.
Kong's Wong
Pick A Win which doesn't pay much usually but always worthwhile and occasionally gives a jackpot like on the old Monty's.
Silence G
Skill stop that starts with message "In the moKNEE!" but slips on anything above £20 and has baby wailing background music when you miss and Maggie Simpson dummy sucking sound sample whilst you are trying to concentrate and prove it CAN be hit!
Plug-me Lugsy
Small Win Streak which you need to quickly on-off old Global style for full empty but will be chipped when John32 reveals it on TOP SECRET You Tube video called "Electric Skill".
Tray-mendous
Fast-cash feature like Up Pompeii which doesn't slip if you genuinely hit high wins.
You've Been Granted Much Cash
Reel Revolver - same as Win Stepper on Deals.
Gamesmaster
Like Streak It Up on old Purple Deal, goes fast on last hit if its not ready for...
Mega McStreak
Self-explanatory but with Eerie music like in horror movies with a wailing deep voice saying "Heeeeeeeeelllllppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" Says "Thank you, my friend, that is all." when streak is over.
IM board: Screen rumbles and message "B F K!!!!!"
Any good?
