Y'all,
 
Can anyone tell me how many OS books were released?  I'm wondering how much of the entire lot I've accumulated.  (I'm a TP nut, OS in particular.  Not ashamed.  Quite proud, in fact.)
 
Oh, and I'm interested in ordering the original series DVDs, but don't know from where to order.  How can I obtain DVDs in a format playable in the U.S.?  This has likely been discussed to death already, but I was away from the TPDIS list for a while, so if anyone can help, it would be for my benefit as well as any newcomers.
 
Muchos thankos teleportares!

The DVD's are all playable on a PAL compatible DVD player AFAIK. Other list members from the US can recommend a suitable make. I would recommend going to the GF site where there's a link to Blackstar or Streets on line (not too sure which) you can order from there. BTW: I think something may be stirring on the CD front as I've just heard from James/Daniel Wilson. It's about time too! I suspect that like me, many of you paid in advance for four cd's for last year's season. I think it's about time we reminded BF that they've had our money for a long time now. I appreciate that with Philip's death a new TIM had to be cast and all, but they can't neglect something like this for ever. I seems to me that TP is taking a back seat to lots of other BF projects. okay gripe over!

All Thames material recorded on 2" quad was converted to D3 in the early to mid 1990s. Whatever they are mastering from would almost certainly have come from this source kept by Talkback Thames / Fremantle, the original tapes now being in the National Film and Television Archive. No restoration was done at this time, nor it seems for the DVDs. The first series is in rather poor condition, with picture problems from creases and drop out as well as quad banding etc quite evident. Later series appear to have stored somewhat better. Colour telerecordings were made in the mid 1970s for some foreign sales - definitely to Australia for example, at least for the earlier series. These were still being used on Australian repeats through the 1980s.

It depends on the type of DVD player you have. Some of them can be set to play different formats. Mine won't play the TP DVDs, but I can play them on my computer.

Not quite.

I went to Wal-Mart and bought the Apex player that was on sale for $43 dollars, hooked it up to my living room television set, stuck my TP disc in, and have never looked back. I didn't even have to *do* anything to the player except hook it up. I'm watching "The Children of the Stones" (PAL) right now. When I finish this, I'll likely pop in one of my NTSC Buffy discs. The DVD player has been a little cranky playing discs released by Paramount, but otherwise we've had no problems with it.

The link on the GF site that Jackie mentioned is to Blackstar. If you order your discs through them, via the GF link, a small percentage gets returned to me, which in turn goes to pay for these lists.

The > result comes off more like a stage play than a movie. British television *was* very theatrical well into the 1980s. There are still people who miss studio-based productions. Of course now most of British drama is produced on film effect video. For the real historic effect of watching the TP DVDs though, you need a vintage television with a rounded-edge tube, preferably in a teak-effect cabinet with doors. I do sometimes use a 23 year-old set but for the TP it just isn't old enough :) Jez -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Mary Svoboda Subject: Re: TPDIS: Detroit Lab - Jaunt Me In!

(Is that to American-Centric?) The longer answer is - if you choose carefully. Definitions First: PAL and NTSC and TV Signal Transmission standards: NTSC is the transmission standard we use in North America (forgive me if I am wrong Anna, but I think NTSC is used in Mexico). PAL is the transmission standard using in The U.K. (And Europe?) Region: Regioning is the method used by movie studios (and others) to prevent DVD's sold in one "region" of the world to be played in DVD players sold to a different region of the world. For example, (Theoretically), A DVD purchased in Europe (with Region 2) encoding would not work on a DVD player made for the American Market. (In case any one cares, one reason is so the Film companies can release pictures slowly across the world and not have to worry that, for example, people in the UK couldn't purchase DVDs from America BEFORE the movie is release in the UK theatres in the UK) SO FAR: ALL TTP DVDs HAVE BEEN REGION 0 - Meaning No region - Meaning ANY DVD in any country can play it. Play, but maybe not DISPLAY - Now on to PAL and NTSC. dvd players automatically read a PAL Dvd and convert it to NTSC (Or Video and Audio output) without question. I, and others, have recommended APEX, because as noted in previous emails, they are inexpensive (Even to struggling Post Docs!). You need to do the research to find out if particular model actually does the Pal->Ntsc conversion, but a good tip is if the player plays SVCD format.. I am told there is a link, but I'm not 100% sure. What I usually suggest to people who want to be sure before buying is to take a TTP dvd down to your local Circuit City or Best Buy and try it! Both seem to sell "cheap" dvd players that convert Pal to Ntsc. The bottom line is you don't need a fancy PAL DVD player.. A $43 Apex dvd player will work fine!

So we can certainly show anything, and I suspect many of the gatherers would have DVDs of superior quality. I should point out that the second week-end of April is Easter week-end, so that shouldn't be the week-end for the mass gathering that we're proposing.

Not *really* -- what it seems to boil down to is that what I'll call the "second tier" DVD player manufacturers can't afford to have separate models in the various combinations needed for various parts of the world. Thus, they use video processing chips that can handle both NTSC and PAL, and those chipsets usually include the ability to "translate" one to the other. This is easier on a DVD than a VCR, because on a DVD, one doesn't have the actual video signal, just digital data. This means that only the frame rate (29.94 for NTSC, 25 for PAL) and frame size (480 lines tall for NTSC, 576 for PAL) have to be dealt with and this is rather easier to contend with in digital form than an analog video signal. The reason SVCD support seems linked is that the VCD/SVCD formats are vastly more popular in Asia than they are in the US or the UK, and thus support for those has to be included on a "world model" DVD player. > What I usually suggest to people who want to be sure before buying is to > take a TTP dvd down to your local Circuit City or Best Buy and try it! > Both seem to sell "cheap" dvd players that convert Pal to Ntsc.

For those who are more research-oriented, there is a HUGE database of information on various DVD players at www.DVDRHELP.com. It can take some patience to work through, simply because there's so much in there - and as a sort of archival database, there are a lot of discontinued DVD players in there too -- it's NOT just a list of currently available models. I would suggest checking around to see what's available in your price range, make note of the model numbers, then check out those units specifically. > If you have any questions, email me off list. While I've mentioned TTP > as often as I could, this is probably not stricly On-Topic I can't speak for the moderators of the list, but I would imagine that reasonable discussion of how best to view TTP DVDs in non-PAL parts of the world will continue to be tolerated as it has in the past. It may not be literally on topic, but it is directly relevant to enjoying the series DVDs.

Not *really* -- what it seems to boil down to is that what I'll call the
"second tier" DVD player manufacturers can't afford to have separate
models in the various combinations needed for various parts of the world.
Thus, they use video processing chips that can handle both NTSC and PAL,
and those chipsets usually include the ability to "translate" one to the
other. This is easier on a DVD than a VCR, because on a DVD, one doesn't
have the actual video signal, just digital data. This means that only the
frame rate (29.94 for NTSC, 25 for PAL) and frame size (480 lines tall for
NTSC, 576 for PAL) have to be dealt with and this is rather easier to
contend with in digital form than an analog video signal.

The reason SVCD support seems linked is that the VCD/SVCD formats are
vastly more popular in Asia than they are in the US or the UK, and thus
support for those has to be included on a "world model" DVD player.

For those who are more research-oriented, there is a HUGE database of
information on various DVD players at www.DVDRHELP.com. It can take some
patience to work through, simply because there's so much in there - and as
a sort of archival database, there are a lot of discontinued DVD players
in there too -- it's NOT just a list of currently available models. I
would suggest checking around to see what's available in your price range,
make note of the model numbers, then check out those units specifically.

I can't speak for the moderators of the list, but I would imagine that
reasonable discussion of how best to view TTP DVDs in non-PAL parts of the
world will continue to be tolerated as it has in the past. It may not be
literally on topic, but it is directly relevant to enjoying the series
DVDs.

March/April would normally be the time of a new box-set release, however there's been no information on that as yet. I imagine Philip's death has had some effect on whether the actors are looking forward to (or not, as the case may be) recording new commentaries. I'm sure our resident mole (hi Jackie) will let us know when commentaries are being recorded, thus giving us some idea as to when the next season(s) will be released. I'm glad to hear that PVC will be on some (hopefully all?) future commentaries, along with Nick of course! I'd be interested to hear Nigel Rhodes on the later stories; any chance of that Jackie?

Date: 10 Mar 2004 01:09:26 -0000 I had the impression that the season 4 & 5 boxsets were no longer available to order online from MVC, even in the UK, but decided to try placing an order recently. Much to my surprise it arrived this morning. Now all I need is a DVD player! Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet some time, especially since I've also ordered the series 1 boxsets of "Blake's Seven" and "Survivors." As I've explained before, installing one in the living room would cause no end of problems, with our set-up there - a tangle of cables and scart leads from a VCR and 2 satellite receivers. Am considering the kitchen though. I might be able to squeeze one between the TV and microwave. And there are some amazingly cheap DVD players available on Amazon now. Afraid I won't be able to make the May 1st. get-together. Is this reunion set to become an annual event, I wonder?

The sad thing is that by the time I decided to start 'officially' timing 
them, I could only get through 1/2 the show before I *really* knew we had to 
go.  Got to the hospital about 1:30am (Thursday morning) and delievered at 
2:50am... so watching the second half would have been bad.

Here are the stats:  Mary Elizabeth Fahrenwald; 8lbs, 2 1/2oz; 20 inches 
long; born 2:50 am Thursday, March 11th.

Doubt if I'll make chat tonight... I'm trying to limit computer time to

The last twelve months have been quite eventful and we are all awaiting the release of later episodes of the series on DVD. Although some people are only just getting hold of One Law ;-) I was watching a lot of TP this past weekend, including Secret Weapon, ARIT, The Medusa Strain and late last night Vanishing Earth. It occurred to me that although I originally preferred the Elizabeth stories, and many people think of Carol as too 'screamy', she did an admirable job in these episodes and there are a lot of gems of TP law/canon disseminated throughout the stories.

It would have been a very interesting contrast of characters. Also as Starburst said, surely Carol was the definitive moment of what it meant to break out. "Imagine a clenched fist......" Know what I love about this group? Every time someone new joins it's just like another TP breaking out! Or is that just me being mad again. See you all in May.

How would I go about tracking terrorists? Maybe I'd jaunt into some government agencies and gather information on some of the real criminals (I'm talking about you, Bush & Bliar...). And I'd like to see what's REALLY inside those secret underground bases (captured UFOs, anti-gravity devices, bunkers for The New World Order... excuse me but my tin-foil hat is slipping...) I'd also try and visit as many countries as I could, maybe spend some time in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, New York, Mexico, Brazil, India, visit the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids, the usual places; and being human of course I would rip off Las Vegas and come away so rich that I'd never have to work again.

I think just about every sci-fi/fantasy show does at least one 'real-world' show where the main character(s) are made to think that their reality is a delusion. It's been done on Stargate (multiple times actually), Farscape, Dead Zone, Star Trek (Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine), X-Files, etc. Just goes to show, there aren't that many original 'stories' out there. :-) Some folks claim there are only 5 real archetype stories told and that ANY work of fiction can be assigned to one of the 5 archetypes. mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I know, but it was the first one that came into my head, and probably the only one that may actually be "true", i.e. at the end of it you tended to believe that the asylum situation was the "real" one.

Date: 16 Mar 2004 19:27:33 -0000 I think, before doing anything, I'd make sure it was a day off. I don't think I'd like to pick up the thoughts of my work colleagues for a whole day. Having said that (being more of a NS fan - yes, OS is growing on me, and not like mould as I used to think it would) :),I'd definitely spend some time at the spaceship and do my best to wind up the NS gang and then go on to wind up General Damon by wreaking havoc with all the CCTV cameras in London (if not the UK) with a few bits of well-timed telekenesis. I'd probably pop in on my uncle in Australia and then visit my cousin's grave in Thailand. I would also love to do a little time travelling to check out the Lab and then sets of both versions and see if they look anything like the real thing. If I was an OS TP for a day one of the things I'd be take great pleasure in is driving my namesake absolutely nuts! :) If I had the time after all that (and the energy) I would check up on Blair and Bush (aka tweedledum and tweedledummer)and find out if they came up with all this war rubbish all by themselves, or whether there was some malevolent alien influence. After all, every time you look at their eyes, the question that springs to mind is "Is there anybody there?".

Actually, considering the way they were at the TP dinner, if you could set the movie after the series, I still think that Nick, Elizabeth and Sammy would be up to reprising their parts, though I don't think that Elizabeth would go for it. -- _--_|\ | Kathryn Andersen / \ | \_.--.*/ | GenFicCrit mailing list v | ------------| Melbourne -> Victoria -> Australia -> Southern Hemisphere Maranatha! | -> Earth -> Sol -> Milky Way Galaxy -> Universe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steveburton612@aol.com Subject: Re: TPDIS: Movie Date: 16 Mar 2004 16:50:51 EST --part1_13.2972d049.2d88d0bb_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit what happened the promises we've heard that something about a new series or a new movie was in the works? --part1_13.2972d049.2d88d0bb_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable what happened= the promises we've heard that something about a new series or a new movie w= as in the works?   --part1_13.2972d049.2d88d0bb_boundary-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Steveburton612@aol.com Subject: Re: TPDIS: Movie Date: 16 Mar 2004 16:52:09 EST --part1_79.248e658d.2d88d109_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I don;'t think a movie is a good idea based on the old show.

I should point out that I didn't mean to imply that she had any problems with playing Elena -- I was thinking more along the lines of a big opportunity coming along. I'm glad to hear she enjoys playing Elena, since I like the character a lot. And while I'm wondering how BF plan to deal with TIM now... I don't want to KNOW until I hear it in the context of story.

I am new to the list after having been a fan of TP since I was a kid watching Nickelodeon back in the early 80s. I started acquiring the box sets from the UK via import through Blackstar and have the first three series. I understand that the box that compiles series 4&5 is an MVC exclusive. I had gotten a tip that MVC had relaxed their policy of only doing international shipping on credit cards that had a UK billing address, but apparently, it must have tightened back up, because I could find no way around it last night. I am hoping that someone has found a way to get box 4-5 on DVD and could let me know how they did it. I see it on Ebay but the prices are ridiculous (50 pounds plus shipping!). MVC is carrying it for 29.99UK plus shipping at present. Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Only read on if you want to know more... S P O I L E R S P A C E S P O I L E R S P A C E That's gotta be enough. Here's Jason's exact words copied. Yes - we are continuing - although we are obviously going to miss Phil in the studio a hell of a lot. "We haven't cast a new TIM yet - and won't do until next season as we have written the part out for a couple of stories. Wraiths has been put back to the end of season three as we need the character of TIM in it." Not sure about commentaries at the moment - but we have started to discuss them... So there you have it, it certainly explains the more unusual nature of the stories.

The best example I've personally become aware of is of the Tomorrow People filming in an area that Doctor Who had filmed in 9 years previously - specifically the abandoned Wood Lane Underground Station and its surrounds, which, for the Tomorrow People, were used for exterior shots of the Lab area in The Medusa Strain, and for Doctor Who were used as exterior shots of a resistance hideout in 'The Dalek Invasion of Earth'. I've put a page together at http://www.alphalink.com.au/~drednort/woodlane.html Where I've placed screenshots from The Medusa Strain and the Dalek Invasion of Earth alongside photos taken by a rail enthusiast (who has generously given me permission to use them) showing the same (or at least very similar locations) around the station as used in the shows. I've sometimes thought it could be interesting from a fanfic crossover point of view to make use of the idea that survivors of a Dalek attack of the late 22nd Century took refuge in hidden areas of the same station which contained secret areas used by the Tomorrow People in the 1970s.

This time around I actually flew to England, found a MVC store and managed to pick up the series 4-5 discs that way - I know pretty extreme :-) Usually however, I buy the DVDs from DVD Orchard (http://www.dvdorchard.com.au) which is an Australian website I found out about from this list. They have been great. Their prices are good (AUD$31.95) and their delivery (for In Stock items) is very fast. The only down side is that you normally have to wait a few months after the DVDs are available in England before they are stocked here. On the other hand if you are able to wait, DVD Orchard is a nice reliable, stress free way of getting the DVDs. The latest DVD they have in their catalogue is One Law. They do not seem to supply the box sets - only the individual DVDs. Hope this helps. Helen P.S. Remember it is an Australian website so the release dates are in Australian date format (i.e. DD/MM/YYYY) -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-tpdis@lists.xmission.com] On Behalf Of acooper101@comcast.net Sent: Thursday, 18 March 2004 5:51 AM Hi. I am new to the list after having been a fan of TP since I was a kid watching Nickelodeon back in the early 80s. I started acquiring the box sets from the UK via import through Blackstar and have the first three series. I understand that the box that compiles series 4&5 is an MVC exclusive. I had gotten a tip that MVC had relaxed their policy of only doing international shipping on credit cards that had a UK billing address, but apparently, it must have tightened back up, because I could find no way around it last night. I am hoping that someone has found a way to get box 4-5 on DVD and could let me know how they did it. I see it on Ebay but the prices are ridiculous (50 pounds plus shipping!). MVC is carrying it for 29.99UK plus shipping at present. Thanks so much for your help and advice.

As a Biologist I can tell you that that's way backwards. It doesn't work that way. Mutation doesn't happen in response to the environment. Mutation happens at random. The usefulness of the mutation in the environment then determines whether or not the organism lives long enough to pass said mutation on to a second generation. Can I recommend The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins? It's a plain language book that goes into this subject at some length. It'll clear that confusion right up. It also has the auspicious honor of being recommended both by Douglas Adams and my Evolution professor in college.

As far as sepculation of this sort goes - I think you can find something wrong with pretty much any country. You have to look at the overall picture. Are there many negatives or many positives? My speculations: If you are going with the notion that peaceful mindset and behavior are indicators of latent TP traits just waiting to break out then I'd say the people of Tibet or Nepal would be most likely to break out. If you go with the reverse notion - that violent conditions would intensify the selection pressure for TPs than I'd say Israel would be a good locale. This might lead to an interesting, and controversial, fan-fic: What would happen if an Israeli Jew and a Palestinian Muslim were to break out? How would their respective groups react? How would they interact? Food for thought. mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.

(Am I right folks it's the 1st?) Yes, Col, the first May. We've gained a few new tpdis members over the past week and some of them may be there too! Does this announcement have anything to do with wedding plans and Sammie? Just kidding lol I can't wait to see you all again. I've spoken to the pub and they say that you must arrive early (12 am) as they get very busy on Sat lunchtimes. We'll be using the carpeted areas at the back and spilling into the garden, kids are allowed into this part of the pub. There may be a few surprise guests too! No guarantees though... Cya you all there! Jackie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peter Fagan Subject: TPDIS: Pub Directions?

Date: 31 Mar 2004 22:32:28 +0000 Is anyone at home? Jackie Clark sent me... Hi all, My name is Bernie and the story so far goes something like this... I browse eBay and notice some Tomorrow People DVD's for sal. WOW!!! simply have to buy them, but best to compare high street retail prices (I have used eBay before - LOL) I type Tomorrow People in the browser window and find Jackie's Scrapbook. I click on the link and spend a few happy hours looking around. What a really neat web site! Another fan and I here was I thinking that I was the only one!!!! I notice a question that asks me to leave feedback of her site, so I click the link.... I write a polite "thank you very much" and there then followed a blur of emails back and forth... Then very quickly she has me all..... mIRC'd... and Tpdis'd... and then all pub.near.teddington.1/4/04@12:00am'd.... Blimey! All this in less than a week, Jackie you are dynamite!!! Oh and by the way, I bought the first season box set from a dealer on eBay (£13.99 incl post) and ordered series 2 and 3 from a company called dvdsontheweb. I can wait a little while before plunging into the collectors set of series 4 and 5 because I really would like to read all Jackie's fanfiction pages. I am loving the audio commentaries (the rapier wit, the history, the trivia and the whooshing of opening beer cans!). Some of the other people I have met are like Jackie and I feel at home already. This Tomorrow People family I have stumbled across seem to be wonderful and I hope I am offered a chair when I come to visit. Best regards for now.
