Actually, that film has already been made - THE CHOSEN, from Chaim Potok's
book of the same name.  Quite similar in theme.



    "George Phblat's new film, 'Benji Saves the Universe,' has brought
    the word 'BAD' to new levels of badness.  Bad acting.  Bad effects.
    Bad everything.  This film just oozed rottenness from every bad

Grant (the paleontologist): Ken Olin or Peter Horton or Kevin Kline
Malcolm (the mathematician): Denzel Washington or Jeff Goldblum or Peter Horton
Hammond (the billionaire): Johnny Carson, yeah I know...but that's who I see.
Ellie Sattler (the other paleontologist): Ellen Barkin or Rebecca De Mornay
Nedry (the computer slob): Roseanne's real life husband (Tom?) or Joe Pesci
Gennaro (the lawyer): Denzel Washington or Ken Olin
Muldoon (the game warden, hunter type): John Goodman or Ernest Borgnine
Arnold (the engineer): Larry Drake.
Ed Regis (the PR man): the "company" guy from Aliens, or Spike Lee
Tim (Hammond's grandson): ??
Alex (Hammond's granddaughter): ??
Wu (the geneticist): YoYo Ma (the celloist), yeah I KNOW, but that's who I see!

Well that's it.  Of those who have read the book, waddyathink???

I was at the show on November 7th and Ivy was not sitting on the
piano, although that would have been great.  Ivy was using her
hips a lot during the song.

Another part that was pretty funny was when GK was playing the 
piano.  He actually was not playing the piano.

This was our first time seeing GK and we enjoyed it immensely.  We
are looking forward to going again soon.

Most stations carry it live, 6PM Eastern, 5PM Central, 4PM Mountain, 3PM 
Pacific, every Saturday.  That's your best bet.

Other stations tape-delay it.  You'll have to check with your local 
station for the time they broadcast.

MMMOOOOAAANNN!!!

Could you tell us something about this.  We're in the middle of a fund
drive here.  All we got was the "Show From Fund-Raising Central" broadcast.

Actually, I was sort of looking forward to this show.  It seemed like GK
has been very quiet of late (about the election and all).  I was somewhat
surprised that last weeks show didn't even mention it.  The week before
they had the impressionist, but that seemed pretty generic and predictable.


On the other hand, I don't suppose anyone has a tape they'd be willing to
share?  :-E)   (<-- Sheepish, ingratiating smiley, with lots of teeth.)

Being a native Hoosier (although decidedly non-urban) I've always been a
fan of Jean Shepard, both his books and the PBS-ish adaptations of his
works, e.g. the _Phantom of the Hearth_ and the Wanda Hickey stories.
Furthermore, the movie "A Christmas Story" --based on his works-- is one of
my favorite movie, and I always try to see it each Christmas.

I've always found an interesting resonance between Shepard's work and GK's.
Also Shepard wrote a cover-blurb for one of the GK's books (_Happy to be
Here_?)

On the other hand, I've read a couple place that Shepard and GK have some
sort of "feud" going on and each seems to be very careful not to
acknowledge the existence of the other.

Does anyone know any of the details about this?  Or is this just more
journalistic blather?  It'd be sad if it were true since they seem to have
so much in common.

Sorry to be so amazingly picky about this, but

"The Tomb of the Cybermen" is a serial

"The Tomb of the Cybermen" episode three is an episode

"The Tomb of the Cybermen" is four episodes.

It's just a bit frustrating to see this distinction ignored quite a lot
in this group recently.

There. I promise to post something more constructive later !

Subject: Daemons in New Scientist
Date: 12 Nov 92 13:33:55 GMT
Organization: University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, NE1 7RU

There was recently a very interesting article about the restoration of 'The
Daemons' in an issue of New Scientist which I thought other netters might be
interested to see. The article starts off by explaining how the BBC came to
only have a black & white film recording of 4 of the episodes, and then goes
on:

"Ten years later, when Doctor Who had become a cult series, the BBC realised it
only had a black and white copy of 'The Daemons'. By a stroke of luck, a
British fan of the series [Ian Levine] met an American fan who had made a
recording of the edited US transmission, using one of Sony's first Betamax home
video recorders.
        The British fan copied the Betamax tapes onto professional U-Matic
video cassettes. The BBC got hold of these cassettes and asked James Russell, a
video systems designer with the British company Rank-Cintel, and also a fan, to
try to restore the series. Russell joined forces with Ralph Montagu, a graphics
designer at the BBC to find a way of blending the colour, or chroma, signal
from the US recording with the monochrome, or luminance, information from the
film.
        Russell and Montagu first ran the 16-millimetre film through a telecine
machine, which records the luminance signal from the film onto modern Betacam
videotape. Next they converted the American NTSC tape into the PAL standard
used in Europe, and recorded that onto another Betacam tape. The two tapes were
then run simultaneously and synchronised using digital time codes so that the
colour signal from one tape could be mixed with the luminance signal from the
other.
        The two signals did not quite match. The luminance signal was distorted
because when the series was copied by filming a TV screen the geometry of the
cathode ray tube distorted the shape of the picture.
        To correct for this, the restorers converted the signals into digital
code and processed them using a special effects computer, the type which allows
programme producers to twist TV pictures into dramatic shapes. They twisted the
picture back into it's correct shape, so that the colour and luminance images
matched exactly.
        The biggest challenge was to reconstruct sequences which had been
edited out of the US version, and where only the black and white copy existed.
The engineers added colour by hand with a Paintbox special effects unit, using
what remained of the uncut original scene as a guide. One 20-second scene took
two hours to rebuild. In all Russell and Montagu took more than 40 hours to
rebuild the 125-minute series."

On the surface, that would appear so, however remember who it is who is
swinging that pole...Bates, and both Bates and Stratton had had their arms
and legs cybernised, so they are putting all the strength of a Cyberman
behind that pole to knock off the head of a guard.  (well, lots of it anyway)

  All episodes BAR the following exist to the best of my knowledge on audio:

  The Crusades 1,2,4
  Galaxy Four 4 (it could be 2, I cannot remember. Suffice to say there is only                  one episode of this left, it is the most recent audio find)
  The MythMakers  part3 has 10 or so minutes missing from the end.

Hm?  Public record.  Romana didn't know him from Adam until told who he was. 
One might suppose that the Doctor became well known to the Gallifreyans,
whether through his experiments with "Omega" or through later exploits at the
Academy.  All I'm saying is it's possible.  Not that he *IS* Omega.  I just

Yep, they sure have. The BBC were to stingy to make the copright payments
to include the scene (although the copyright on a Beatles song, even
part of one, wouldn't be cheap).

BTW, this is also a problem with "The Chase". In Episode 1 the TARDIS crew
watch the Beatles on the Time-Space Visualizer. Once again, it would be
expencive for the BBC to include this scene if and when they release
"The Chase" on video.
