September 15[edit]

Invisible man like series[edit]

Does anyone remember a series in the 90s/2000s that dealt with invisibility? It was a British series about a guy that whenever he was splashed with water would turn invisible. Two particular scenes I remember for some reason is first he is walking to a pub and whilst out in the street there is a huge puddle in the street. Inevitably he gets splashed either by a black cab or another car.

The second random scene I remember is that he is speeding down a track on a motorbike with a female friend on the back, possibly in her dressing gown. Something causes him and the bike to turn invisible leading to a comedic scene where some onlookers watch as there is a screaming woman at speed floating through the air down the track and passing by.

I could have sworn this was called The Invisible Man. Could anyone suggest which drama this could have been? Difficultly north (talk) Simply south alt. 01:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There was an American show The Invisible Man (2000 TV series) in that time period. Rmhermen (talk) 02:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're remembering the UK series The Vanishing Man. Our article mentions the bit about becoming invisible "shortly after coming into contact with water". Deor (talk) 12:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Meital Gal and other Israeli actresses of Mizrahi and Sephardic origin[edit]

What is Meital Gal's origin? Is she Ashkenazi or Sephardic or Mizrahi? How many actresses are Mizrahi and Sephardic? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.33.138 (talk) 15:37, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not have any article on Meital Gal. IMDb does but it is VERY short, and does not indicate her ethnic origins. As far as the second question, it is likely unanswerable. That does not sound like the kind of statistic that anyone would have ever bothered to count. --Jayron32 23:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've missed these questions about the ethnic origins of various Israelis. Almost. --Dweller (talk) 12:40, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
