I recently saw a movie titled "Harry's Game" which was made in 1982 and
starred Ray Lonnen (The Sandbaggers) and Derek Thompson.   The Irish
Gaelic band music would fit since this movie was about the hunt for
an IRA assassin.   I think this was originally broadcast in 3 parts, but
I am not too clear on that.   This was also released under the title
"The Belfast Assassin."    Are you sure this same song was used in 
"Patriot Games?"

Watched this for the 2nd time last night, and it was still very funny.
If you missed it, remember the name and look out for it next time.
In case they change the name outside the UK, it's about 3 paraplegics who go 
from Nottingham UK to Knock Ireland (there's a shrine there) and it's got a 
few serious points to make as well as being extremely funny.
We switched to Blade Runner for 5 minutes during the ferry toilet scene coz 
it reminded us of ferry toilets....and those poor kids who were asphyxiated

   You're spot on...Clannad did the (dreadful) theme music for the
(brilliant) TV play "Harry's Game". I think it was originally in 3 parts
then reshown as a "movie" years later with bits missing.

Good idea, one flaw. The only way to go Pal to NTCS is via the Digital
converter machine. THERE IS NO PAL PLAYPACK ON NTSC TV machines. The
only one that comes close is Panasonic's tv/vcr combo unit that plays
any format tape (in it's natural Signal)! Unfortunately, the 20' unit
runs $700 and has only Mono playback.

Actually, the only other unit Panasonic makes is WORLDVISION, which is
PHENOMINAL standards conversion.... for $2000.

I think the song you mean is "E = MC2" by Big Audio Dynamite...

There are a lot of bits and pieces cut into it from various films,
and I believe the Captain Scarlet reference is a snippet from either
the television series or the movie "Captain Scarlet vs. Mysterons"
and that it's the voice of Colonel White...

The video for the song isn't too bad either. It uses scenes from
"The Man Who Fell to Earth", "Insignificance", a Donald Sutherland
movie whose name escapes me (he was in Venice chasing the spectre of
his dead wife or something), and a Charlton Heston movie called "Gold"
(I think).

Nope, the people who buy TV programmes from abroad WERE this stupid. Cop

A show as bad as Cop Rock. Try anything by Vic Reeves (as in `Big Night Out').

Reply-To: dbailey@cix.compulink.co.uk
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1992 07:05:00 +0000



A couple of months ago a posting on this conference alerted me to
the showing of a new range of Aiwa domestic videos at a US
electronics show.  These had built in electronic digital
convertion between PAL, NTSC and SECAM.

This means that someone in the US could record US broadcasts (or
from another machine's output) on to a tape as PAL, which could
then be played on any UK domestic machine, and various other
combinations - very clever but quality yet unknown.

I have followed this up in the UK and find that although about
100 machines have been imported and sold the official release
here is in October (at seemingly reasonable prices by UK standards
of around 300 pounds).

They offer some form of enhanced still frame facility and a
universal power supply but there is no model with such facilities
as Hi-Fi, stereo or NICAM, unfortunately.

I can post the details of the four model range and UK list prices
if requested.

My question is: are these machines yet available in the US, and
if so, what are the prices?  A friend is travelling to the US in
14 days and would like to buy one there for an American
collaborator so that they can exchange tapes.

Richard Curtis and Rowan Akinson DID write the Blackadder series. I

I don't remember even hearing of this until recently.  How did the
CO people do a CO Emannuelle,  was it a direct skit of a porn movie,
was it about the making of a porn movie or what?

   The Carry On's seem more to be about making jokes on sex rather than

I've never noticed it in the TV listings.

	I can't say whether it will be airing over there but I can say
(IMHO) it was awesome. Totally silly, along the lines of "Tales from Fat
Tulips Garden" if you ever caught that. 

	It was originally a set of kids books (cartoons I think) written by
Balders himself. the premise being that Robin is actually a bit of a
cowardly prat who'd much rather design new ranges of menswear than actual
outlawing, the merry men therefore are bullied into action by Marion,
hence the title "Maid Marion and her Merry Men".

	Among the cast are Harold (?) Lew-Lewis (Elmo out of Brush strokes
plus countless other stupid roles) as (funnily enough) the stupid member
of the gang, Rabies, and Danny John Jules (the Cat from Red Dwarf) as the
hip ethnic minority of the gang, Barrington.

	Not quite Black Adder but still worth a look.

It is actually ITC, an offshoot of Lew Grade's empire, which made the
Thunderbirds series (or commissioned it of Gerry Anderson or something).
In fact the recent re-runs of Thunderbirds and associated programmes has
been on BBC2.

Gerry Anderson is doing another series or movie of something or other
as he was interviewed on Frank Sidebottom's Fantastic Shed Show on
Yorkshire TV last Friday. However he didn't really explain about it
