Scarily enough, I'm just old enough to have seen TMS on its original UK broadcasts. To this day I still swear I saw them in colour, despite the fact that I *know* we didn't get a colour TV until well into the early 80s :-) I remember seeing TMM on TV, probably fifteen years ago now, and for...

The shows are Sylvester Stallone and Roger Moore.

Drop me an email :-)

Mine would be except that I'm wearing about four layers! :cool:

It's not quite Winnebago-freezing levels right now; actually, it's pretty mild for Scotland :-) But we've got about seven months of winter to go before our statutory week of summer. Then it's back to winter again...

Hey, you wanna trade? It's well nippy over here!

I'll try :) Whaddya need?

Likewise! Hey, we had our very own bagpiper here! :D

Greetings from Scotland :-) Whatever you're doing, have a great evening! I'm off to become a happily horizontal member of society for a few hours. :D Slainte!

Some might say this has already happened...!

Uh-huh...

The mind boggles!

Yes and no :-) What's commonly referred to as 'PAL' is indeed the video format used in the UK and most of the world outside the Americas and Japan. That said, it's a misnomer - PAL is only actually the colour system. The main video image is more correctly described as '625/50', which is used...

Nope - Japan is R2, and NTSC (same as the US). There's no such thing as a SECAM DVD (actually, there's no such thing as a PAL or NTSC DVD either, but that's a much longer story :-) It would therefore make a lot of sense to have a US player modded for R2, since Japanese discs would play...

There's a bit more to it than that, the player will also need to be able to handle PAL discs, which I gather ain't too common in the US.

If you're still looking, drop me a line.

Boy were they in the wrong place! :D

Yeah, but he only came in for laughs. :)

It suffers from a small budget, that's all. Visualising Hitch-Hiker was always going to be difficult, but the BBC pulled it off pretty convincingly, and the effects were state-of-the-art for their day (and still look pretty good today). But the thing that really makes it is the amazing...

Re: anathema :) Glad you found it helpful! I find widescreen to be a badly misunderstood topic, so the more articles there are explaining it, the better. :) I don't know if you have this problem to the same extent in the US, but pretty much every time a TV channel screens a letterboxed...
