I agree with you aesthetically. It is impossible to not think of
Lugosi when I see anyone else in the role. Certainly Oldman, and
also Langella, and Carradine (and am I remembering correctly that
Jack Palance once played him too?). Klaus Kinski's Nosferatu is
archetypal in its own way.

I was commenting *historically*, not *aesthetically*, in my

Consistency would be a nice thing, such as the dropping in and out of 
his supposed accent in Robin Hood.  He should've committed to either
taking enough voice lessons to get it right or just dropping any pretense
of having one at all.  

And, what about The Bodyguard?  It's such a flat idea that I have to wonder
why it was made.  EVERY single movie interview show that's done a story 
on it has as its clip Costner (or worse, Whitney Houston) parroting the line
that the movie was originally written for Steve McQueen and Kevin's had his
hair cut exactly like Steve's - like really, wow!  Is that the first thing
that comes to mind when talking about a new - that it was somebody else's?

He has made a few good films, but I just don't find that he stands above
anyone else ON HIS ACTING ABILITY alone.  Sure, I like some of the movies
that he's made but that doesn't say too much about him as an actor.

I'd almost say the same thing about Tom Cruise, but at I feel that 
his performance in Rain Man made up for a few bad films...

[..looking for a book which gives movie aspect ratios...]

The only thorough work on the subject is:

WIDE SCREEN MOVIES by Robert E. Carr and R.M. Hayes (1988, McFarland)
-in print and available through any bookseller by order for $40.
It is confusing in places, contradictory in others, and (according
to those who know) outright wrong in some.  Still it is all that is
available and you can look up movies in the index.  It covers up
through 1985-87.

The magazine THE PERFECT VISION (800-825-0061, $26 for 4 issues/yr.)
covers issues of film aspect ratios quite thoroughly and the letters
section often has comments from the people involved in the making
of films reviewed.

A book of laserdisc reviews from the Laser Disc Newsletter,
THE LASER VIDEO DISC COMPANION, Updated Edition by Douglas Pratt
(1992, New York Zoetrope, $25) does attempt to discuss whether
particular laserdisc releases should have been widescreen or not.

A recent entry THE LASERDISC FILM GUIDE by Jeff Rovin (1993, St.
Martin's Press, NY, $16) does a very good job of considering aspect
ratio of laserdisc releases, though only 300 plus titles are
discussed.

I'm not familiar with the Sons Of Hermann myself.  I had always
assumed that the Sons Of Knute (ya, that's how the Norsky's spell it)
were supposed to be a parody of the Sons Of Norway.  The only real
differences I can see are that the Sons Of Knute appear to be a local
all mens club (or am I mistaken there), and the Sons Of Norway is a
co-ed international collection of Lodges.

If you're still interested in S of N, you can write to the
headquarters in Minneapolis, MN.  I don't have the exact address on
me.  If you want it, I'll give my Aunt a call.  She's the 5th district
president (the district covers most of the Great Lakes states except
MN) at least she was a couple years ago.  I'm not sure what office she
holds now.

They host festivals and ethnic gatherings all year long.  They are big
in the H0stfest in Minot, ND and the annual festival at Decorah, Iowa.
Of course they've got their finger in celebrations all over the world
on May 17 (Norwegian Independence Day).  Some districts also sponsor a
Norwegian language camp (yeah, I went when I was a kid as if you had
to ask).

Well, that's probably about six times more than you wanted to know.

I think that the Sons of Hermann is also active in New Ulm, MN but
I could have the name wrong.  If you call up the Schell's brewery
there, someone would probably know.

Factoid, from the dim recesses of my mind: The city of New Ulm claims
the last remaining militia artillery battery in the U.S.  They were
given a cannon after the famous Sioux uprising during the 1860's.
Over the years they added two or three more cannon, to achieve the
official number required for a battery.  I think it might be the
Sons of Hermann that fire the artillery every fourth of July.

Let me add my voice to this.  I too want a list INCLUDING ISBN NUMBERS

Kate Manning.

After her appearances in Dr Who, I believe she disappeared off to Australia
(in between that she appeared in a nude magazine with a dalek - probably 
quite a collector's item by now). The last thing I saw her in was in a 
TV commercial for Australian Airlines (or something equivalent).

'Daemons' was repeated last week on BBC2. It was good to see her again
(her appearances are available on legal video over here 'Day of the Daleks'

Yes, we can see that "Perry" certainly did a number on you...you're so 
stunned you can't spell her name properly...

But on to your question...

In the series itself, there was one accidental relation that I can recall,
and that was with an Aztec woman way back in the first season adventure
called "The Aztecs."  The Doctor, in this story, needs to find out from this
woman how to get into the tomb where the TARDIS is, and while he's trying
to charm the information out of her, he accidentally gets himself engaged
to her because he doesn't know the significance in Aztec culture of the
sharing of a cup of cocoa.  

We do know for certain however that the Doctor did have a family at one
time, most likely on Gallifrey, and that Susan his granddaughter is most
likely a result of that.  Conversations in both "The Tomb of the Cybermen"
and "The Curse of Fenric" prove this.

Actually, she played Peri, not Perry.  Her name is Nicola Bryant, and
she's been doing plays and such in England.  I'm afraid she's too
good an actress to be stuck in blue movies.  But yes, she certainly
is quite ample.  And very beautiful.

   Well, I would maintain that the Doctor was in love with Jo Grant. Especially
noticably in The Green Death. He makes a remarkable and empassioned appeal to 
her to travel with him, something like "Oh can't you see I'm offering you all 
of time and space!" - literally begging her. I've never seen any Doctor *beg* 
anyone to travel with him before. He also seemed devasted at the end of the 
episode when she leaves him. Furthermore, I believe in Timelash it's revealed 
that the Doctor keeps a locket with her picture in it.

I think John Peel might have beat you to that theory in the Gallifrey
Chronicles.  How about this for an alternate:  the TARDIS operates on
artron energy (the energy produced by the mind, BTW, in Doctor Who),
which is beamed from Gallifrey via the Eye of Harmony.  Perhaps the
TARDIS, in its symbiotic attachment to the Doctor (and, to a lesser
extent, its other passangers), saps the sex drive?  This might by why,
when they do fall in love, companions are almost instantly enarmoured
and ready to get married.  A lot of pent-up stuff.

A reply to Love and War gripes.....SPOILER WARNING


































I liked Love and War.  I liked the way Ace left the TARDIS...temporarily
mind you....because Sylvester McCoy's Doctor IS always pulling something
over on her.  I liked the reference from Susan to Dodo to Ace.  I liked
the Airplane joke reference.  I liked the use of Brain of Morbius.  In
fact, Love and War read more like a TV story than any of the other
novels to date, IMHO.

The sad part is, even though the Doctor KNEW Jan was infected, he
couldn't tell Ace.  He tried to stop her from seeing him, but there are
limits on his abilities.  The Doctor knew Ace would tell Jan, and he
knew that that would be the same as telling the Hoothi.

But we do still know she is from Gallifrey since she recognizes the Dark
Tower in "The Five Doctors" and knows it means she's on Gallifrey.
I suppose the Doctor could have told her, but since she is also supposed to
be his granddaughter (and familiar with regeneration as we see later in
the same story), and since there is never any contrary evidence, I conclude
she is his granddaughter and from Gallifrey.
