	This sounds wrong to me, mind you Dom's address looks US to me so
what would he know? The reason they've started screening M*A*S*H again is
that Beeb 2 is doing a War and Peace season (also the reason we're getting
Black Adder 4 back, and somepeoplemightthinkthatthatwasgoodenoughreasonfor
doingit.
	The Manic Street Preachers version of the song is from an album of
bands doing covers of TV songs I think. There is no connection.

	However I'm with Christopher, what happened to the end of series the
Beeb started to show. I think we got to about series 7 maybe 8 and they
never showed the hour long Goodbye... so I assume they never finished the
run. The implication after the re-showing of the pilot was that they were
going to start again from scratch. What gives ?

The latest news about the UK Gold channel which will
broadcast on the Astra Satellite say, that it will be
scrambled with Videocrypt :-(

However, it will be soft scrambled, so that you only
need a decoder (no card subscription).

Since they came up with the scrambling after the negotiation
with the British Actor's Union, the reason probably is, that
the Union demanded more royalties for the actors, if the 
channel could be seen outside the UK.

UK Gold will begin broadcast around October/November (hopefully).

October. About time too. One of the few TOS episodes I have yet to

So far I've seen the first hour but I'll keep the whole thing on tape to
have a good laugh. One of the first cuts I noticed was when Bruce turned
on the sprinklers thus bringing the police round and as they turned
around Bruce shouted something like : "You stupid mother ******. Turn
the fucking truck around". It's like when BBC2 first showed THE
BREAKFAST CLUB, some F's were cut and some weren't. It was weird the way
the original video was slightly squashed and the TV version not squashed
at all. I recommend everyone to buy the LBX video and see it how it's
meant to be seen. Of course my favourite bit was :

		"Yippee Kay Ay ...Kimosabi!"

later trotted out by Rickman as :

		"Yippee Kay Ay ...Kimosar!"

This time I actually laughed as much as the characters did the second
time it was said.

The ITV network (of independent regional TV companies) are currently

	Two series.  Norton Drake and Paul Ironhorse are...

dead.  This was done in the second series opener "The Second Wave", and put
me completely off the show for then next five months.  I watched a few repeats
later, and grudgingly admitted that the new ones were well-implemented, but
I had (and still have) real doubts about the sort of post-apocalyptic world
they showed there ever occurring.  I thought the cloning idea was weak, to say
the least, the gore wasn't nearly as much fun as it was in the first (although
they did go a BIT overboard in the hospital episode), and cutting every
minority appearing on the series (especially considering these were not just
token minorities but good characters) sucked.  I also missed the biblical
quotes for titles, the three-ness, and the (shockingly new) idea that if we
were to fight alien invaders, it might be possible that we'd have advantages.

It is mentioned in the Radio Times.

It is said to be things such as Executive Business Club and training
programmes.

There is a telephone number to ring in Radio Times, which I don't,
totally unreasonably  :-)  have with me at present, but which I will
get for you if you wish.

A BBC advert on one of the BBC channels advertised the Select service
and one needs a special decoder box, which is NOT the same decoding as
any other decoding, such as videocrypt as used by Sky on 4 of their
6 channels on Astra.

As you mentioned the word 'gold' may I add in two items that are nothing
to do with the BBC Select service, but may be of general interest.

Sky Movies Gold, on Astra transponder 26 is encrypted but you get it
free if you buy both Sky Movies Plus and The (Sky) Movie Channel.

UK Gold is a new Astra Channel on transponder 23, due to go live on
1st November, IN THE CLEAR, but may start some form of encryption in
1994. Perhaps this means 'if the advertising revenue is not sufficient'.
Apparently adverts will be carried but NOT within movies.
The content will be gold (i.e. old) from the BBC and Thames Television
archives, such as The Duchess of Duke Street and The Bill.

Although not the best series I have ever watched it did have some good
concepts.

I am however surprised to see that no other ITV company seems to be showing
it.

Anyway having just got satellite TV I was flicking through the foreign
channels when on PRO 7 I found myself watching War of the Worlds
however I virtually didn't recognise it!! The story had moved on by
a great amount, and not understanding much German didn't help! :-)

So can someone please fill me in on how many series of WOTW there are,
and what has generally happened.  For instance where are Norton and
Paul Ironhorse got to?? 


Any replies would be much appreciated.
