Not something you would really hire, say, Byron to model, then...

That's the movie ;-)

The song was written by Pierre Umiliani, and appears on the soundtrack of a 1968 film called "Svezia, inferno e paradiso".

It's a traditional English folk-song, so the original composer probably isn't known. However, the most popular arrangement of the song is by Percy Grainger, so you could try searching for him.

I don't know...but it's noteworthy that it was one of the few skipped over in an otherwise unbroken run of episodes released on home video over here. John Gordon-Sinclair made his first appearance on January 10th 1988 in "Born To Wander." Simon O'Brien had replaced him by the start of the...

One day according to my records ;-) And it's more common than you'd think. Obviously not with FR of course, but the UK has had the premiere of a number of US-produced shows over the years. A few years back Sky pulled off a deal whereby they got to air new ER episodes while the US was in...

Rather unexpectedly, the film turned out to be in widescreen...

There have been copies of MCC marked as 'Special Edition' on eBay for the last few weeks - I think they're either European or Australian, I can't remember which. They're also still not widescreen, nor are they the 'home video' edit of the film.

The edit used on the UK DVD was done in either 1988 or 1989. It's the version that been aired (at least in the US and Canada) ever since. Exactly why those two scenes were censored is unclear - the most likely explanation is to get the running time down in order to fit more commercials in...

Two scenes are still missing: Fozzie lighting the Christmas tree (only lasts a few seconds), and a longer scene (about a minute) in which Fozzie and Ma discuss Fozzie's Christmas stocking.

I take it you're aware that this release is *not* the unedited show?

No, he didn't - since I don't have a PAL DVD of this show ;-)

ATV ceased to exist on January 1st 1982. They're now called Central.

Ok, there's something weird going on here :-) I'll try emailing you via MC.

Well, you're using an AOL email address, and they are pretty irresponsible about blocking incoming mail. Do you have another address I could email you at?

Replied... ;-)
