Sir Jim Ratcliffe, acutely aware of London’s rising crime rates, recently remarked that British cities are no longer as safe as they once were. Prioritizing safety over appearances, the savvy businessman has stopped wearing a watch in the capital to avoid becoming a target for muggers.

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.
