My initial thought was Tales of the Unexpected what with the fire, ladies, playing cards firearms etc (i was enthralled as a youngster, especially by the dancing girls!); but it wasnt really sci fi so i am guessing Blakes 7?

Purdey and Mr Kuryakin

If 111 is England's bogey number at cricket, what is Australia's equivalent, where more batsmen are dismissed than other numbers close to that score ?

118 (one hundred and eighteen)?

i'm assuming that with the slant you put on sport it is not mainstream sport ,so i'll jump in with extreme pogo?

you are right insomuch as it is not a mainstream sport

but nothing to do with pogoing.

nope, it is not a sport in the traditional sense, in fact it is not even really a game, more an activity taken to extremes. but the americans love it.
