LARRY (JR) HAGMAN spent his final few acting days in the role which made him a household name, but once he passed away, it seems many diehard fans – and Channel 5’s schedulers – lost interest.

Dallas was relegated to late night, but there are still many reasons to tune in as the OTT Texan soap reaches its second season finale.

Aside from old favourites such as Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray), and Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval), a generation weaned on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy can rejoice as Lee Majors pops up as businessman Ken Richards.

Returning from their Vegas wedding, John Ross and Pamela discover Cliff Barnes’ private jet stopped off in Nuevo Laredo on the night JR was murdered.

While Bobby decides to execute his brother’s master plan, Sue Ellen tracks down Richards to the Caymans and discovers why he quashed the report that initially cleared Ewing Energies.
