Was it my imagination or would that episode have been better as the season finale to last
season?  What a depressing way to *start* a new season!

So then, what did people think of this? Since it was up against Gallowglass
on BBC1 I don't know how many will have watched either.

Anyway, I thought it was all right, although very predictable. We managed to
guess nearly everything that would happen quite early on, so if it does make
it to a full series, I hope they come up with some better stories...

And thank you for giving me another chance to say that it means nothing, and
is mostly a play on the 60s trendy slang word 'fab' aka 'fabulous'.  It is
merely corroborative detail, intended to lend versimilitude to an otherwise 
bald and unconvincing narrative.

I saw this episode...and what's more, my wife knows the bloke personally...they were in

and pretty much kept himself to himself...

He got 16 questions on Dr. Who correct.  I, an occasional watcher, got 4.  What a tangled

Saying all this the behind the scenes insight was very interesting .... I took
down the booking number for tickets so I could go and watch it live as it looks

Anyway, I was looking for a copy of an episode guide for "Star Cops."
I had once saved a copy from a previous posting many months ago, but 
unfortunately I've misplaced that.  (I don't remember who posted it.)

Could some kind soul please help me by either:

	1.  Mailing me a copy of that episode guide (if you have

	2.  Pointing me to some Internet site which has that guide

The first series would be "Robin Hood and the Sorcerer", "The Witch of
Elsdon", "Alan a Dale", "Lord of the Trees" "The Prophecy".  I think. 
13 episodes with Michael (series 1 and 2) and then 13 with Jason (3).

Off the top of my head, the Michael Praed episodes are those 6 (Sorcerer
is a 2 part one), plus "The Enchantement", "Seven Poor Knights from Acre",
"The King's Fool" (also called "King Richard" I think), "Lord of the Trees"
"Hounds of Lucifer" (2 parts) and, of course, "The Greatest Enemy".

I caught the first six on Sky last yaer in Madrid, and have the rest on
NTSC here in the USA.  I think Samuel Goldwyn released them on pro too.

Richard Carpenter has written a book/miniseries, but who knows if we'll
ever see it?  I'll ask him at the second annual "Weekend in Sherwood"
in Novi Michigan this July 2-4.  Also, I think he'll be at a con called
"Greenwood" in the UK.  on't know much about that I'm afraid.

5 tapes, yes, but they add up to a great deal more running time than 4 hours!

The set comprises the 17 Prisoner episodes (each is about 50 mins) plus a
crummy 30 mins US compilation.  The version of "The Chimes of Big Ben" is the
so-called alternative version and is of dire picture quality.  The other
episodes fall into two distinct camps. Most of the early ones have below-par
picture quality (looks like a mal-adjusted telecine to me) but the later ones
have pin-sharp quality.

It officially costs 49.99 but HMV and the like seem to have it for 54.99.
58.99 seems a bit OTT to me.

Who is ITC?  A production outfit, part of Lew Grade's empire - the midlands
ITV region ATV was also part.  They produced most of the glossy filmed TV
series from the sixties and seventies like Thunderbirds and Space 1999.
Recently, they started a video-label, ITC Home Video.  "The Prisoner" tapes
appear to be an amalgam of an ITC release and a Polygram release - the box
carries both logos.

ITC Ents are at 24 Nutford Place, London. Telephone +44 71 262 3262. However,
they don't do mail order.  Best place to try would be HMV Video Zone - they DO
have mail order. Telephone +44 71 631 3423.

(Note: don't confuse THIS ITC with the OTHER ITC, namely, the Independant
Television Commission - the two are not related)

Hope this helps

It said in TV Quick that it was being shown in the original widescreen
ratio and with it being shown as part of the Moving Pictures season
which spent a good 20 minutes talking about the 40th Anniversary of
cinemascope then it would have been. Maybe they should have windowboxed
it, ie. very small black bars either side too so for those people who
have a TV that overscans (like most of them) we would miss nothing.
Maybe Im being too picky. Maybe we should all be thankful they tried.
Very few films are fully letterboxed. I hate it when some films are
shown somewhere inbetween like when C4 showed The Longest Day a month or
two ago.

If you watched the "Moving Pictures" show beforehand, you'll have
noticed that the clips of Cinemascope films had larger areas of black
at the top and bottom of the frame. Blue Velvet was somewhere in between
full 'scope ratio and TV 4:3 ratio.

Not quite what you thought from the subject line, but I noticed that
one of the contestants on Mastermind last night was answering questions
about Doctor Who. I didn't see it myself (watching Anna Lee) and I couldn't
be bothered to record it but by a spot of channel hopping during the adverts
I did see that that particular contestant won (tied with another contestant
on number of correct answers but passed on 4 whereas other guy passed on 5!).
