Does anybody have any PAL off-air recordings of married with children, before
"Exchange Student"?  Any episode guide would go down well, also...

Thanks in advance.

Wrong way round I'm afraid Tony.

Nice Work by David Lodge is the latest of his books based round the University
of Rummidge, a fictional city situated where Birmingham is in real life (Lodge
used to lecture English at Brum Uni...)

The first was Changing Places, the second Small World.  Small World and Nice
Work have both been made into TV series.  Nice Work follows the book fairly
closely.  What I particularly like is the way Lodge fits the form he's using
to what he's writing about.  Eg in Nice Work, which is an industrial novel for
the late eighties (much of it talks about the decline of industry in the West
Midlands), the Haydn Gwynne character is a lecturer specialising in nineteenth
century industrial novels.

Oh, absolutely.  This is why her maiden name is so funny.  I don't know

but her arch-rival Connie Bender ("Bring a friend, it won't offend her")

I'm not sure how often.  As far as I can tell, they seem to alternate a
bit, they tape some Clive Anderson talk shows, then some WLIIAs, back
and forth.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.  

How to be in the studio audience?  In London I have no idea.  In New
York it's easy:

1) Wait a long period of time until they come to New York to tape.
2) You come to New York so you can see it.
3) Call the studio.  They'll give you as many tickets for each day of
taping you want, since it's first-come, first-served each night (in
other words, a ticket doesn't guarantee admission).  Last time they
taped six nights over a period of two weeks.
4) Show up at the studio (West 26th St in Manhattan).

I'm sure the show will come back at least once a year for as long as it
remains on the air.  I'm not going to dig out the phone number of the
studio, because it's going to be a long while before they come back 
(at least 6-8 months).  If you HAVE to know now for some reason, just
watch Maury Povich whenver it's on in your area and call/write 
whatever address they give you.  It's the same place.

This is a very sore point with UK sci-fi fans - the ONLY "new" sci-fi being
made by any UK TV company is "Red Dwarf" (I'm discounting "Kappatoo II" which
is on Children's ITV, even if it does have Rula Lenska in it :-) ). I think
this is a disgraceful state of affairs, especially considering the garbage

	Hello--although this probably shouldn't be here on this
newsgroup, I need to ask a favor of someone over in the United
Kingdom.  When I visited in November of 1989, I was amazed at the
amount of coverage of the Australian soap Neighbours, and more
specifically, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.  I know that Kylie has
released two albums here in the U.S., and I purchased Jason's "Ten
Good Reasons" album when I was over there.
	What I would like to know is whether Kylie has any new albums
(or album), as well as Jason--last thing I saw about him, he was doing
a remake of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat."  If you could please e-mail me the complete list of albums
that both Kylie and Jason have done, I would greatly appreciate it.
My server here at the University of Kansas is erratic, and if you post
it here, I'll probably never get it, so *please* use e-mail if (and
when) you find out the names of the albums.
	Thank you in advance,
				Matt

P.S.  I know about "Kylie" and "Enjoy Yourself", and also Jason's "Ten
Good Reasons," so you don't need to tell me about them.  If you also
know of a way I could purchase them, I would appreciate it as well.  Thanks!

She was played by Sue Nicholls, who still appears over here in UK land in the top soap Coronation Street.

Thanks for reminding me.  I shall have to dig out my Reggie tapes again.  I also enjoyed several other of David Nobbs' (the writer) TV series such as A Bit Of A Do and Rich Tea And Sympathy.  (I did not enjoy Dogfood Dan and the Carmarthen Cowboy).  I hear that he is currently working on an adaptation of his Pratt of the Argus books.

Do his books find their way outside the UK?  What do people think of him?  I know there was an American version of F&RRP, but called "Reggie".

Back to the Red Dwarf beginnings thread.

People have asked how Rimmer knows things like his death happening. Well
here is the solution. In RDI/6: 'Me^2' Lister discovers Rimmer has a video
of his own death which Holly taped, presumably from Red Dwarfs Black Box
(see RDII/3: 'Thanks for the Memory'. This records everything that goes
on. Presumably when Holly created the Rimmer hologram to keep Lister
sane he also uploaded the time difference from the black box to add to
the recording of Rimmer's mind which all crew get when the join Red Dwarf
(see Red Dwarf Book I: 'Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers'). Therefore
Rimmer knows what he knew, plus all that happened since he Joined Red Dwarf
(including his Death !).

No, it WAS referring to the play.  I finally tracked down a copy of _Viz_ last
week, the magazine that's supposed to have helped kill _Punch_.  I found it to
be totally sophomoric; slightly amusing, but certainly not intelligent.  I
find it quite sad that society today can't sustain any culture above that of
fart jokes.  Hell, WLIIA probably wouldn't have lasted this long if we didn't

Sandi always seemed so high-strung to me.  I doubt she was being intentionally
rude; she was probably just so nervous about the play (and her reputation
which rides on it) that it took all her energy just to keep from passing out,
much less having to deal with fans.  We should all feel happy she SURVIVED
the show.

There was some earlier discussion about Trevor Bannister (Mr. Lucas)
on Are You Being Served.  According the the viewer's guide I recently
received:

    Trevor Bannister was born in Burington, Wiltshire, and trained at
LAMDA.  He has enjoyed a varied career, playing everything from Shakespeare
and farce to pantomime in the threater, films and television.  After
many years in repertory, he first appeared in London in "The World of
Suzie Wong".  This was followed by "Billy Liar", "Early One Morning",
"The Corn is Green" and "Move Over Mrs. Markham".  He has also enjoyed
great success in television with over 500 appearances to his credit
in series, serials and plays including the award-winning dramas:  "Cider
With Rosie", "Tickets Please" and "Voyage Round My Father".  His first
comedy series for television was a character named Heavy Breathing in
a show called "The Dustbinmen".  The popularity of those shows abroad
resulted in his appearing on stage in Canada, America, Holland, Lebanon,
the Far and Middle East and Australia.  He has also had his own series
on radio.
    Trevor Banniser left the series at the height of its popularity
(he was replaced by Mike Berry as Mr. Spooner).  "I didn't was to play
Lucas forever, so I left and embarked on a career on the stage," he
says.  He has since toured Britain and Australia in plays.  He now lives
in Surrey, England with his wife, Pam.

That's not even the newest series.  The newest ones are six "WLIIA in

Yea, I can.

The reason *why* we here in the USA can get telly shows from the UK is cos 
PBS stations buy and *air* them on a regular basis.

In regards to cable, the A&E network gets Britstuff as well as other stations
like the Comedy Channel who gets Whose Line is it Anyway?

When I was in London last summer for a few days, the shows *there* were mostly
American! They even had a station which is *very similar* to the FOX station
here (and *this* was the place which *tried* to keep *us* as *their* Colonies!).

It appears that TV in the UK is slowly becoming Americanised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
