    I did some digging last night and you're right, the movie was called
    "Thunderbird 6" and the ship resembling "Cloudbase" was called

    Sorry about that, my memory is failing me...Spectrum headquarters was
    called "Cloudbase"...I was definitely getting the names confused.

Simple. The title of the programme (not program, remember this the
UK! :-) is a pun on something to do with the Olympics (and the video
bit is a  visual clue to help you). It's quite a clever idea, really,
though it does get a bit tiresome. For example, after EastEnders we
got a clip of various far-eastern athletes and stuff. Think of a
programme title and the odds are you can make up some weak link
between it and something to do with the Olympics. I'm trying to think
of the ones I've seen so far, and I can't remember any apart from the
EastEnders one!

One I'd like to see would be "Don't Wait Up" and the announcer saying
"yeah, don't wait up, the Olympics will be hardly worth watching
anyway." I live in hope....

Well, I recall a good one from a rally commentary. Not sure who it

Sorry, deliberate efforts don't count.  That's a quote from Yogi Berra
(no, not the cartoon bear, O best beloved Brits.  A baseball player of
yore who was manager of the NY Yankees quite recently).  Even the
dimmest sportscaster in the smallest TV station in the country knows
the Sayings of Yogi, and there's no way the NBC commentator was using
the expression as anything other than a quote.

Yogi's comment on all the thousands of bon mots, mauvais mots,
malapropisms and oxymorons attributed to him over the years:

"I never even said all those things I said!"

Truly someone who couldn't open his mouth without putting his foot in
it.

On the subject of Captain Scarlet, he's not the real Cap but a Mysteron agent.
 In the first episode the the Mysterons cause Scarlet's car to crash then
create a replacement using that interesting 3 circles effect. The replacement
Scarlet is sent by the Mysterions to kill the Earth's president but he fails
and after dying (again!!) recovers his "Memory" (and past loyalty to Spectrum).

Thing that puzzled me was not only did Spectrum trust him so completely
(would YOU trust an alien replicant who only just failed to kill the Earth's
President??) but that they didn't try and take more Mysteron replacements
prisoner with a view to converting more to "our" side.

After all if an indestructable man is this usefull just think what you could

I noticed this too. No Blakes 7 or Dr Who, basically because that would
hit video sales. It's as simple as that. Star Trek (TOS and TNG) video sales
are not by BBC Enterprises, so they don't give a flying *uck about showing
it or not (TOS mostly). TNG is mostly a rights fight with Sky.

Probably get Dr Who and Blakes 7 on the UK Gold thingy that is supposed to
be going onto Astra. (Subscription channel !).

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is a UK TV net area, not a pro/anti

are areas that cater for that thing.

As the title says "UK TV", let's keep it to that.

Anybody else notice that the episode of Casualty scheduled for last Saturday
night was a casualty of the over-running Olympics opening ceremony? This
was the one that never made it the first time round as it featured a plane
crash and it was originally scheduled for a day which just happened to be
the anniversary of the Lockerbie disaster. I think the Radio Times must be
one of the biggest selling works of fiction. The Beeb should show programmes
as advertised, record the bits (mainly sports stuff) that would cause other
programmes to be cancelled or shown late and play these during the night
at a time advertised at the end of the scheduled transmission. Just a
thought...

It's not Olympics, it's not Colemanballs, but it is a comment I heard
during the Isle of Man TT (motorcycle race): the rider in question was
steaming up the mountain road at some ridiculous speed, and the

I think this one made Dennis Norden's collection of on-screen gaffes.
During a Rally Cross race (ObExplanation: a race for more or less
standard cars travelling on road some of the time, on dirt/mud the
rest of the time) the commentator was drawing attention to a series
of holes drilled in the windscreen of the lead car, the idea being
to combat the lack of visibility with all the flying mud that was
landing on the cars.  It went something like this:

"And these holes make a big improvement to th drivers ability to see
his way around the track." <car fails to make a turn, flies headlong
off the track, up and over a small embankment, into the air and down
- splat! - onto the dirt> "What am I saying??  What AM I saying?!?!?"

	So okay, its unsporting to hunt wounded prey, but since the Olympics
have a stranglehold on BBC1 (except for Eldorado of course), I suggest that

	they've got a lot of strength in that feild.'

	`And the Iranian team were the only ones to refuse to have their

I have not noticed any major difference.  Some shows come up with their
own, others use versions of popular music.  For me, I think the vast
majority (especially for sitcoms) are pretty awful.

Two shows from recent times that I always liked the themes were 
(coincidentally both from Fox):  COPS and GET A LIFE.  GAL used a
great version of "Stand" from R.E.M.  Those shows were some of the
VERY few series which I don't automatically mute out the credits.

The short-run BBC series "Star Cops" also has a fantastic theme 
song, which was written by a member of the Moody Blues...
