Over the years there have been a number of pop stars appear in the Street. I'm
not 100% sure but I think the famous ones are as follows but there may also
be more:

Peter Noone ( Hermans Hermits ) played Len Faircloughs son 
Davy Jones  ( Monkeys ) played Ena Sharples grandson
Christopher Quintin ( Himself ) played Brian Tilsley was a total pop flop

	Mmm, if he was it must have been before HIGNFU started.

	Anyway, the over permanent presenter is Ian Hislop
	who is not a tv presenter or a comedian, and as far as I
	know has virtually no tv at all before HIGNFU ( except
	for being in the news.)
	
	His _real_ job is the editor of private eye, a satirical
	magazine started in the sixties by Peter Cooke and which
	is still going strong. His face became well known on 
	British tv after someone sued Private Eye ( either Robert  
	Maxwell or Sonia Sutcliffe ( late fat git, con-man and newspaper
	tycoon and slightly mad wife of the Yorkshire Ripper, a VERY mad
	mass murderer from the seventies/eighties )), and won,
	landing PI with a huge libel bill.
		Hislop came out of the court and said to the
	waiting camera's "If this is Justice, then Im a banana"

	Since Maxwell's death, Ian's had a field day, eg.
	quote from HIGNFU, "Now he's dead you can say what you like..."
	etc.

	But I don't know if that pre-dates you show or not.

	Also, if you can try and get hold of a copy of PI, though
	much of it may not make much sense it being so British
	orientated.

Unfortunately, no.  I personally have little taste for obvious soap opera
(unless done in parody) and gave up somewhere around episode 6.  My wife
stuck it out till about episode 20 but lost the will to keep watching, even
though we were taping it.  I think it got to the point that, in order to 
perpetrate the various misfortunes visited upon the hapless pair, the 
writers had to make them appear terminally gullible, thick and generally
unbelievable even to UK viewers, who are at least used to the idea of people
acting in strange ways out of pride, shortsightedness and snobbery.  To your
basic pragmatic American, or even your not-so-pragmatic Easterner, it all
got to be a bit too much.

(BTW I am expat English, my wife is a New Englander).

You got it right.

One of Leonard's funniest works (IMHO) was shown on Channel 4. Called "Le
Petomane", it was the true story of a French variety artist from the turn
of the century, whose speciality was farting. He could fart everything
from the opening cannonade of the Battle of Austerlitz to the Marseillase!
The court scene, where he sues an imitator, is especially good.

It actually did quite well over here...there are plans for a

it was a bit too Anglicised for a multi-national appeal.

Nope 'Angels' that was shown a few months ago was also in Surround (Granda as
well I think). Also most modern films that they transmited in true Stereo (not
the yucky airline versions so often dumped on us) will have a Suround info
sent as part of the normal NICAM feed.

Dennis Leary - the chainsmoking cow-punching abusive comedian who
gives a new meaning to the word manic and was previously discussed
here - is appearing in a one-off production on Channel 4 in early Feb
'93 called "NO CURE FOR CANCER". This was apparently a "smash hit on
Broadway" whatever that means - I guess it is a film of one of his shows.
Should be good.

How about from the US?

the Fifth series has been out in the UK. I have yet to see it in the
US, though I have seen it. There is no one plot, but I must say that I
have never seen Rimmer handled so much as a real being.

As for the american version, I must say I hope NOT!!!! There is NO WAY
an American company could sucessfully duplicate the chemistry and
quality that makes RD so popular. It's as ludicrous as a British
company making Star Trek or MASH. No, I would prefer that NBC, or
whoever, just paid the UK production company to produce more episodes
for a season. It may drop the overall quality a bit, but I think it
would be FAR better than anything an American company could produce.


Then again, I could be Happily proved wrong.

It was about some psychic researchers who got involved in some satanic cult

subsequently read the book of it - about 7 or 8 years ago - but is it

Thought I'd start a new thread instead of dragging the previous one on, also 
I've just thought of this....

Does anybody know when the next couple of ST:TNG videos are released. I think
its cassettes 57 and 58, in season 5. I reckoned they were due for release this
month but when I phoned the video shop the other day, I was told no more 
releases until January. The episodes in question are: The Masterpiece Society, 
Conundrum, Power Play and Ethics (all in Dolby Surround, I might add). 

Can anybody confirm or deny this? I haven't actually looked in the shops yet...
I'm going to do that tomorrow.

Thanks.

Ok how about detailing some of the worst plot lines that have been used in     
Prisoner Cell Block 'H'. To set the ball rolling, here are a few.

(1) Officer Powell's daugher is kidnapped and raped. Lady from the gang that did    it is captured and put in Wentworth (where Powell works).
(2) Judy escapes from prison and begins working as a hooker to even an old score    Before going in to work on her first day, she says that she is very nervous     as she is a virgin. 8 months or so later her daughter appears on the program    -me. Glaring plot flaw?

Any others?

 You could say that there's on or two to come.. I think half all Aussie soaps
pick they're cast-lists from a collective pool of about 50 actors and 
actresses, and swap them around every so often. 

A few I can remember are...

Kerry Bishop/Mangel from Neighbours
Harold Bishop  from Neighbours
The bloke that married Mrs Mangel from Neighbours
Alf Stewart from Home & Away
Um...
Bouncer from Neighbours 8-)

And loads more that I've forgotten, its a long while since I last caught it...

weren't Joe Mangel and Jim Robinson  of Neighbours in it towards the end
as well?
