    Re: y won\'t SF pick up RED DRAWF? Well, this was the latest piece of news on the official site , dated 18 Oct 2002: Personally, I'd be surprised if this ever gets made.

    Is this an April Fool's Joke?

    Re: Is this an April Fool\'s Joke? Galacatica has been on the slate for ages, so that's really is being made into a miniseries by SciSh**. The other press release, whilst containing Stargate: Atlantis, which I've heard of many times before as a spin-off idea, contains so many bogus sounding...

    Da Ali G. Show

    I was never a big fan of the character when he started. His short sketches on the 11 o'clock show were amusing, but then he got his own series and it just seemed too much. A british friend of mine living in NYC, who'd never seen the UK shows, says the US one is excellent. He gives me the...

    Building the Definitive TV on DVD Collection

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you will! ;)), but most TV shows aren't shot on film, they are shot on video cameras (I believe B5 was an exception here). I'm assuming that shows shot on video cameras are shot at the frame rate of the native TV format. 30fps for the US, 25 for the UK...

    Building the Definitive TV on DVD Collection

    For those complete Muppets, who think that full frame gives them the whole film, here is a perfect and graphic demonstration of why full frame is a rip-off, whereas those transfers that have those "annoying" black bars are, in fact, giving you the full film...

    Building the Definitive TV on DVD Collection

    If your 4:3 tv does not have a 16:9 mode (where it squashes the image vertically) then you should tell the DVD player that you are using a 4:3 TV so that it can adjust the picture accordingly. Most people use graphic equalisers to adjust music to sound the way they like to hear it. In that...

    Building the Definitive TV on DVD Collection

    Nope, not just you. This is a problem with NTSC to PAL transfers. The big problem between the two is frame rates, and a common solution for solving this is that the PAL versions are actually played back at a different frame rate, thus altering the sound pitch. This is why even though I'm in...

    Jeremiah on UKTV

    You are forgetting that the most popular "newspaper" in the UK is "The Sun". So, as the majority of the UK population is that stupid, it only stands to reason that the majority of Sky One viewers are also that stupid! :)

    Jeremiah on UKTV

    I don't think it's content related. As far as I can tell, Sky are showing Jeremiah on Sky Mix at 10pm (oddly, the Sky listings site does not list Sky Mix!). Sky Mix is ONLY available through their satellite service, it is not available through a cable provider. Most people I know, myself...

    Jeremiah on UKTV

    I think that 1:50am is the shows new time on Sky 1. That's the time it's on next week too (31st March). Sky did this with Odyssey 5, too. Which, of course, got cancelled. I only hope Sky hasn't decided to drop the series or we'll miss out on season 2.
