It looks a lot better from across the room than from up close.
The line graphics look very snazzy on my DEC VT320 terminal emulator. Somebody who's not using a VT-type terminal would likely see garbage, however.
(To see what characters are "really" in response #0, type "define pager see", then re-read the item.)
Tanks for da tip.
And there's this thing that was probably s'posed to posted along with #0 A picture of the TARDIS using extended characters complete with a flashing light on top. Anthony J. Connors MKT_ACONNORS@VAXA.STEVENS-TECH.EDU U94_ACONNORS@VAXA.STEVENS-TECH.EDU
Hmm... The light doesn't flash on my screen.
Mine neither, but it *is* reversed out.
This is all very interesting. I don't like the SciFi Channels 30 minute Dr. Who hour though. I prefered it when I was at my grandfather's joint, the whole episode with no commercial interuptions (make sure you get your snacks and go to the bathroom before viewing.)
I agreed vidar. 3 cheers for PBS.
Hip hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hip Hurray!
it certinaly is different than non-stop PBS action, even if it was on latenight near the end and you either stayed up to watch or taped it... now, the half hour business... is it on every day, or just on weekends? the original BBC packaging was a half hour a week, 7pm on saturday nights... that would be enough to drive me nuts...
I think just weekends. I would have to check the T.V. Guide (no, not the *real*one) to be sure. No, I believe this half-hour was an Sat and Sun, or possibly just Sun at High Noon.
Has anyone seen "The Prisoner"? It's another one of those PBS scifi series. It's all about a man (#7) who was captured and taken to an island where everything was sort of "1984ish". Everyone had their names replaced with a number, and almost everything was censored. I don't remember much more because it went off the air about a year ago. Has anyone seen it, and do you know if it's back on on cable or somewhere?
Has anyone seen it? Sheesh! I've seen every episode at least twice! It's currently on the Sci-Fi Channel at 8 PM (against both Seaquest and Superman) and repeated at midnight. There's some editing, though, your best bet is to stop by the Ann Arbor-Saline Road Video Watch, they have all 17 episodes available as $1 rentals.
If you're referring to "The Prisoner" that stars Patrick McGoohan, then thats many years old, and probably originated in Britain for the BBC. Naturally the Sci-Fi channel show many of the "classic" series from yesteryear to fill up its programming.
No, it wasn't BBC. They spent too much money on it for it to have been a BBC production! I think it was made by ITV or some other independant British TV network. And no, our hero was not #7. He was #6. Number 6. Who is number one? You are number six.
Yes, I can vouch for the fact that The Prisoner was indeed British, it did indeed feature Patrick McGoohan as number 6, it was produced by ITC, it was filmed in Portmeirion, North West Wales, in the grounds of the Hotel Portmerrion, Penrhyndeudraeth, where there are frequent Prisoner fan club meets.
i prefer the full two hour episodes on ETV (PBS a la Vermont)
I think _The Prisoner_ was filmed about 1968.
I thought it was earlier than that.
The Prisoner was an awesome show. (23 years late to the conversation, but who cares?)
