 His name is James Grout I think.Talking of Morse,whats the current

 possibly be killed in a gun battle in the final episode.But I thought 
 John Thaw said he could make 'movie'specials.Bit hard if morse is dead

There's no *new* sci-fi other than Quantum Leap, but there's plenty of
re-runs if look around:

BBC 2:
Thunderbirds
The Invaders
Star Trek
Doctor Who

UK Gold:
Doctor Who

Sky One:
ST:TNG (twice a weekday)
Alien Nation
Lost In Space (barely worth mentioning - totally crap)

ST:DSN really can't be shown until mid-Season 6 because there's a 2-parter
introducing it then. So the question should be: "when will Seasons 4-6 of
ST:TNG be shown in the UK ?". Some people have speculated that Sky One will
show them straight after their current Seasons 1-3 run finishes on 15th
January, but I'm not too sure.

What I hope is that the BBC *doesn't* get ST:DSN, because they'll f**k around
with it like they did with ST:TNG (censor episodes, ban an episode, skip
weeks to make way for sport, show at a completely ludicrous timeslot (6pm on
a Wednesday is one big joke)). Considering the recent track record of the BBC
and ITV w.r.t. imported sci-fi, I wouldn't hold out much hope for the other
shows you mention. They're more likely to turn up on Sky One.

> I saw some clips from DSN and B5 the other day on CNN and was very impressed.

"Entertainment Tonight" on Sky One on Sunday had a quickie feature on Deep
Space Nine and it does look interesting.

> Perhaps we should start a letter writing campaign to the Beeb,

Already tried this and it doesn't work. The BBC ignores its viewers requests/
complaints. Put simply, they're a bunch of scumbags.

There is an article in the latest issue of 'Empire' which
describes the 
diffeences in the various ratios used in so called
"widescreen" presentations:
2.35:1 is what we all call 'cinemascope', 1.8:1 is also true
widescreen, so it could well be that The Longest Day was
shown in its
true ratio. It could also be that there really was "something
missing" from
the top and bottom of Blue Velvet - again see the article for
its 
description of similar 'effects' in, I think, Back To The
Future.

If there's enough demand from non UK netters I'll summarize
the article here

I started getting the Sci-Fi channel this month. I didn't know I was going to
get it either. Unfortunately, my TV guide doesn't list this channel, so I don't
know what is on or when. I know someone posted a weekly listing for the channel
in r.a.drwho (that's why I crossposted). If I had known I was getting the
channel, I would have saved it. Please mail it to me if you have it.

Now, I saw half of one episode of The Prisoner, having never seen it before.
I hear it's good, but I was pretty confused. The episode was something like
The Lady called Death (not it, but close). Can someone fill me in on what the
series is about? (this is why I left the distribution open to the UK)

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it was from an old Commodore Amiga game called something like

Good old aunty beeb has also screwed up with it's new organization - they've
moved all the radio listings to BBC 2 as low priority pages and it takes
ages to cycle round to the relevant page to find out what's on R4. Plus BBC2
is of the air most early mornings.

I like this list.  I don't watch a great deal of TV, being a college
student and only being able to get ABC,NBC,CBS, and PBS, but I must
absolutely second your votes for numbers 1, 2, and 3.  I adore Dean
Stockwell on QL, and I think Patrick Stewart would be amazing to talk
to.  However, I must disagree with #6, having seen Mr. Takei at a
convention last summer.  He came off as very egotistical, since he
didn't really want to talk about anything much other than how
wonderful he was.  I don't think a chat with him would be terribly
interesting.  Dunno much about Michael Dorn and I've never heard of
Ken Matsudaira, so I can't really comment there.

I'd also add Scott Bakula, Alan Alda and Corbin Bernsen to your list (ok, so I
have strange tastes..), and I guess if I had to number it I'd come up
with something like:

1. Scott Bakula
2. Dean Stockwell
3. Patrick Stewart
4. Corbin Bernsen
5. Richard Dean Anderson
6. Alan Alda (if, that is, he's anything at all like Hawkeye Pierce..)

It's just a name.

The Claremont Colleges hold a party named Mardi Gras in January (which
is admittedly closer than October) and if I remember correctly,
Oktoberfest in the spring.

 That was (Manitoba native) Loreena McKennit. That particular song
is from her THE VISIT cassette.

*Okay.  Here's what I heard last night:

* - CBS has offered Letterman $14 million a year to do a show in the same time 
*   slot as Leno.

    Actually, it's $16 million.

* - NBC has until sometime in late January to match the offer, which means
*   they would probably boot Leno if they did it.  (Leno only makes $5 mil)

    NBC has until January 15th to make a counter proposal.
    A possible compromise is that NBC would offer Dave less money
    but a prime time slot (9pm/cst).

    BTW, Leno makes $3 million.
