Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "E.R. Stanway" Subject: Re: TPDIS: Alone - spoiler warning! Date: 04 Aug 2004 20:02:31 +0100 (BST) s p o i l e r s | s p o i l e r s Well, I hope that's enough spoiler space! I've listened to Alone a few times now (and I really should have been doing other things!). I thought it was excellent :-) I suspect that I'm in a bit of a minority as I like all of the Big Finish CDs (including Deadliest Species, although that upset me at first). Nonetheless, I think this is probably the best so far. It stands alone very well as a story but also has a number of pleasing continuity references - including to the ever more mysterious arc plot that Big Finish seem to have going on. I liked the way the story began with John and the doctor. While it was obvious to us that John wasn't insane, starting the story from that point of view really made it clear how he could believe that he was. Like Jackie, I found it difficult to stay detached when John, asked how he felt, came up with just one word: alone. In fact the whole piece worked well at keeping you focused on the sitation emotionally, and the chaotic and frightening build up to the end of the first episode was breathtaking. The plot made sense - albeit with a bit of a stretch of credulity right at the end. The physicist in me has to wonder how the rocks being radioactive would be involved in the signalling device, or why the radioactivity should 'dissipate naturally' if it was working. I also wondered what happened to the hill when the mother ship came to collect the original spaceship. Did it collapse? Or did they leave the ship there and if so how was it guarded? It was interesting to see how telepathy and bad experiences could combine to affect the mental health of the new breakout, though. I also liked the fact that Paul didn't seem to be playing up to his 'new boy' role any more. In the last few CDs he's been the sceptical and occasionally childish voice. In this one he seemed to be a settled member of the team - and after two years you would hope so too. Anyway, as you probably gathered I did very much enjoy this one. I do have some questions though: Why did John not hear the voice? Or was it more surprising that Elena did? Are we seeing a dulling of John's abilities or an enhancement of Elena's (especially when you consider this alongside A New Atlantis)? I was intrigued by John's speculation (which he wouldn't share with Elena) about the nature of the voice. Was this a reference to the voices that have been plaguing him lately? And if so, are these the Mendez essences? I was a little curious that the two times we've heard a giggling voice only John could hear have been in graveyards (In Diolyx and at the end of a New Atlantis.) I found myself wondering if the recent graves have stones carved of alpine rock! Why did Paul see the boy, Andrew Coll, as an alien in the dream? This might just be a throwaway line but in these CDs that would be a rarity, more likely a hint for a later story. And like Jackie, I want to know if John really did have a brother. If he saw an image of him in the tunnel then that was *before* he was hooked up to the dream machine. But if the brother was real it seems odd to introduce the concept here. Why not use something in the BF continuity (like the 'death' of John's friend Georgie) instead? Anyway, I've rambled on for long enough. I just thought I'd share some of the idle thoughts that have been distracting me this week!

I haven't heard Alone, and probably won't for a while, but, I want to weigh in here. There is really nothing in the original series that says the Tomorrow People can't hurt people. The Prime Barrier refers to only one thing - their inability to kill. We're not told that the Tomorrow People can't hurt other people, we're not told that the Tomorrow People can't cause direct harm to others. Some people seem to have taken the inability to kill, as if it's an indication that the Tomorrow People are inherently incapable of violence - well, that's not so, as shown in the series. The TP we are shown are fairly peaceful people, and it may be that they are more prone to being peaceful and non-violent than the Saps. But it's certainly not absolute. Stephen is perfectly capable of using a sword in the Dirtiest Business - he can't kill with it, and I'm sure he was doing his best to avoid injuring anyone - but he was certainly able to use a weapon which always involves some risk of injury (even if you're good with it). John in 'A Man for Emily' spanks Emily - not serious violence, but certainly not completely non-violent. More notably, in Hitler's Last Secret, John puts down one of the neo-Nazi's in quite a painful fashion. Again, it's not serious violence - but there's nothing stopping him from hurting someone. The Prime Barrier stops Tomorrow People from deliberately killing someone. It probably stops them from engaging in activity that has a high probability of causing death, IMHO. But it doesn't stop them from hurting people.

I don't think the Prime Barrier stretches that far; my impression was that he was causing them psychic pain -- rather like screaming in someone's ear -- trying to drive them away. His threats of killing them may have just been along the same lines -- he may not have actually been capable of doing so. Also, keep in mind that he was mentally disturbed and somehow convinced the other TPs were trying to hurt him. The Prime Barrier just stops deliberate killing, and I would imagine anything that would carry a high probability of killing someone. I don't think it would block causing an "enemy" some pain to try and drive them off.

My view has always been to treat the TV episodes as canon absolutely, and then to use the novels as canon in cases where they do not contradict the TV episodes and can be made to fit into that context.

If a telepath is heavily shielding themselves, are they still able to pick up an inquiry from someone close to them? Would they know someone is trying to establish contact, sort of like knocking on a closed door, or would they be oblivious to any attempts? What if that person were a close friend or relation? Any thoughts on this subject would be appreciated.

Elisabeth and John were telepathing to Mike and he wasn't responding. When Tim was asked, he stated that all telepathic people leave some kind of a trace. Even when they die, there is a "hollow echo" of a thought left. Or something like that. I'm in no way saying I'm a telepath, but I do shield my thoughts from my partner sometimes, as he can pick up stray thoughts that I have. (I at least believe that is what it is) But there have been times in my past that a close friend had a pet die, and I dreamed/astral projected myself to her, because I felt her pain. When I called her, I told her what I saw, and she stated that she felt something/someone close by her, and that it could've been me. When she asked me where she buried her pet, I described the location right by her house, and had never been there before. I even knew that there was a bush and rocks that were at the location. To this day, I still haven't gone to that location, nor have I been able to do that projection again. Maybe it was just a fluke, or maybe I've broken out and just don't realize it.

Overmind isn't referenced in = print,=20 but it's logical to assume that it's a form of telepathic concensus, = possibly a=20 form of group mind capable of making decisions for the=20 Federation.

I hope all the fans will give Mr. Littledale some time to settle into the role; it cannot be easy for any actor to carry on with such a beloved character, brought to life by someone else.

I would have gotten back to you sooner, but this has only recently shown up in my inbox, it is dated Wednsday, why it took so long to show up is one of those Hotmail mysteries. My latest theory is that telepathy is like verbal communication in that you have to think about doing it. You either speak, or "send" what you want to say, or you keep your mind or mouth shut. The idea of you mind being open all of the time for any other telepath to be able to peek into when they want to unless you are constantly shielding sounds like an awful amount of work. What happens when you sleep then? Likewise too, a telepath has to actively want to go peeking into another's mind, another telepath would be sensitvive to this rude intrusion and could sheild thusly, but for a normal "sap" likely no such luck. I figure we tune things out all the time with normal hearing. So why not have it be the same with telepathy? Shielding would be like actively ignoring someone or something, but also too, we can selectively tune out excessive noise, say like at a party, to tune into what your significant other is saying to you. Overhearing other's conversation is a possibility, but I figure that between two close individuals, there are other visual, mental, and emotional cues built up over the time of a relationship that an outsider would be hard pressed to interpret correctly telepathic or not. Does this make sense? Abby >Just my own thoughts here, but it seems like even shielded, a telepath could hear someone trying to contact them. I would think a telepath would have to be shielded a lot of the time, just to keep from getting lost in all the stray thoughts from the people around them. Or would a telepath pick up on thoughts from non-telepaths? I figured it was kind of like if you had the windows open in your house... you'd hear lots of street noise. Close the windows and shut out the noise, unless it was really loud, like someone knocking to come in : ) > >Marie t; > _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

How about _A Rift In Time_ where, once back in ancient Rome, John says that the "only power" they have left working is the ability to interpret the saps' brainwaves to provide language translation? That seems to me to at least partially contradict the "can't read a sap's mind" claim. There's also Tricia Conway (_Secret Weapon_, _The Revenge of Jedikiah_), who could read the minds of saps and did eventually break out into being a Tomorrow Person. Don't forget Pavla (_The Dirtiest Business_), who read the minds of saps with ease -- but although Mike considered her a TP, there's been some controversy on the list as to whether she'd really qualify. My personal explanation is as follows. If you think of the part of the mind that enables telepathy as a kind of radio, both saps and TP's have much the same "equipment" - it's just that the TP have much better "amplifiers" and "antennas". Because they are able to pick up low-power signals, they can pick up mental cues that enable them to interpret language, and because they can transmit at high power, they can get a signal through to the saps that makes them think the TP is speaking their language. Given the limitations of the "gear" in the sap mind, this can only work at close range -- say, the same as for easy vocal conversation. (I don't recall if this was ever said in the original series, but in a couple of the recent audio stories, remarks have been made about "mental noise" in proximity to a lot of saps; this would make sense from this perspective.) Also consider the mental discipline involved; there were many mentions in the series about new TP's having to be taught to use their powers, and at one point TIM makes a remark about not being able to easily detect "wild" signals -- he's set up primarily to deal with trained minds. However you think of it, saps probably emit a jumble of stream-of-consciousness rubbish, while a trained TP is able to focus what he or she is sending to make it easier to receive. Thus, I think the original bit about TP's being "unable" to read the minds of saps was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration; in my theory, it would be possible -- but could only be done at close range, and would be extremely tedious and tiring for the TP trying to sort out meaning from the noise. Add a dash of ethical resistance to being a voyeur when the subject can't do anything to protect him/herself, and you wind up with a situation where while it's just barely *possible*, it's too difficult and ethically frowned-upon to do. [In this view, Pavla would be unique mainly for having the ability to easily sift meaning from the noise, rather than solely for being able to read the minds of saps. And we can perhaps at least partly explain Tricia -- especially given her employer -- by noting that she didn't seem to have any ethical problems with reading people's minds without permission. It was clearly a strain for her, though, and her readings weren't always clear or complete.] > I have to go rethink all my > assumptions about telepaths... at least in context of this show. I think > I was combining bits and pieces from The Tomorrow People and other SF > I've read about telepaths. Yes, one doesn't want to go combining these things without being aware of it. I do think some of the ideas from Julian May's Galactic Milieu books, much of which revolve around what she calls "metapsychic" powers are interesting in a TP context, though. When it comes to telepathy, she has the idea of a "declamatory mode" that is like speaking out loud in a room full of people, and an "intimate mode" that's intended for just one person - like whispering in their ear. Although this was an area that wasn't really addressed in the series, I wouldn't be surprised if TP had this sort of discrimination.

Because they are able to pick up low-power signals, they can pick up mental cues that enable them to interpret language, and because they can transmit at high power, they can get a signal through to the saps that makes them think the TP is speaking their language. Given the limitations of the "gear" in the sap mind, this can only work at close range -- say, the same as for easy vocal conversation. (I don't recall if this was ever said in the original series, but in a couple of the recent audio stories, remarks have been made about "mental noise" in proximity to a lot of saps; this would make sense from this perspective.) Also consider the mental discipline involved; there were many mentions in the series about new TP's having to be taught to use their powers, and at one point TIM makes a remark about not being able to easily detect "wild" signals -- he's set up primarily to deal with trained minds. However you think of it, saps probably emit a jumble of stream-of-consciousness rubbish, while a trained TP is able to focus what he or she is sending to make it easier to receive. Thus, I think the original bit about TP's being "unable" to read the minds of saps was perhaps a bit of an exaggeration; in my theory, it would be possible -- but could only be done at close range, and would be extremely tedious and tiring for the TP trying to sort out meaning from the noise. Add a dash of ethical resistance to being a voyeur when the subject can't do anything to protect him/herself, and you wind up with a situation where while it's just barely *possible*, it's too difficult and ethically frowned-upon to do. [In this view, Pavla would be unique mainly for having the ability to easily sift meaning from the noise, rather than solely for being able to read the minds of saps. And we can perhaps at least partly explain Tricia -- especially given her employer -- by noting that she didn't seem to have any ethical problems with reading people's minds without permission. It was clearly a strain for her, though, and her readings weren't always clear or complete.] > I have to go rethink all my > assumptions about telepaths... at least in context of this show. I think > I was combining bits and pieces from The Tomorrow People and other SF > I've read about telepaths. Yes, one doesn't want to go combining these things without being aware of it. I do think some of the ideas from Julian May's Galactic Milieu books, much of which revolve around what she calls "metapsychic" powers are interesting in a TP context, though. When it comes to telepathy, she has the idea of a "declamatory mode" that is like speaking out loud in a room full of people, and an "intimate mode" that's intended for just one person - like whispering in their ear. Although this was an area that wasn't really addressed in the series, I wouldn't be surprised if TP had this sort of discrimination. George --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

John says that in Medusa Strain and it is stated elsewhere that the TPs can only telepathically communicate with each other, but this is contradicted by OTHER things said or done in the series including: Stephen altering the memories of the policemen at the end of "Blue and Green" to keep Chris out of jail. The explanation for how the TPs can understand the ancient Romans and Britains in "A Rift in Time" is that they telepathically translate what is being said to them - and the native 'hears' their response in his/her native tongue. (That would have to require the TPs in some way reading and projecting to a Sap) This is never brought up again in the series, but one does wonder why the monks in an Indian/Tibetan (?) monastary would be speaking English in "Lost Gods". Not to mention all the alien races that seem to speak English. :-) In "A Much Needed Holiday" the TPs are presumably using the translator from the Galactic Fed in order to translate the alien's language (there's a segment where the head alien says to John with surprise "You speak our language?") Tricia Conway - who is arguably a pre-TP telepath in the serial - is able to read Professor Cawston's mind in "Secret Weapon" and is hurt by the power of Elizabeth's telepathy. Pavla in "The Dirtiest Buisness" is said by Major Turner to have a 'different' type of telepathy in which she COMPLETELY reads the mind of anyone she comes into contact with - all thoughts and memories - without necessarily realizing what she's doing. Major Turner compares her telepathy to that of the TPs (while stating how Pavla's is different) implying that she has similar telepathic abilities to the TP. She is able to read Elizabeth's mind (without being hurt), but we're never given the opportunity to see if she is able to read the minds of Saps. Although there's no basis for this other than personal preference, I would say it's likely that the TPs CAN read the minds of Saps, as well as alter their thoughts and memories. Rememver that non-TPs were able to see Andrew's (and the other TPs) illusions. While not strictly telepathy, these illusions were a form of telepathic projection. Perhaps John's comments to Chris were only meant to reassure him and placate him. Perhaps if the Saps knew that the TP could read their minds there would be a more concentrated effort to control or even kill the TP. > As for shields and sleeping, I think it would > eventually become an automatic thing, that you would > have to consciously drop your shields, or they'd be > up all the time.

I see no reason why telepathic shields couldn't remain
up while sleeping.  You have a variety of muscles
whose 'normal' state is to be contracted (i.e bowels,
bladder, certain postural muscles).  It would be most
distressing if these muscles were all to stop having

Date: 23 Aug 2004 20:57:26 +0100 Hi All, I have mine and spent the entire day watching and listening to them. There are a few things I'd like to explain. Firstly you may wonder where the filmed interview is? I asked Rev films and they informed me that the interview is being saved for a further special edition box set release. more to buy... The cast biogs for both Nigel and Misako were written by me! And I'm rather proud of them. Rev films gave me a web site credit at the end of the section. The photo of Philip used at the beginning of the season six disc was one taken at the TP dinner. Not the best choice of image from the selection I offered them, but a nice touch all the same. Overall the commentary is funny and also a little poignant in places... roll on the 90's series lol Jackie ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 5:35 PM > Hey everybody! > > Not trying to brag ;) but I managed to pick up my copy of the new TP DVD box > set for series 6, 7 and 8 today in my local MVC. > > I'm really looking forward to spending an evening watching the eps, and I'm > just wondering if anybody else has managed to pick one up? > > TinyTim > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "George Madison" > To: > Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 4:44 PM > Subject: Re: TPDIS: Telepathic Shields > > > Marie H. said: > > The comments I made on shielding previously were because I thought a TP > > could pick up on a sap's thoughts.

The only problem with this theory is that there's no such thing as the language center. There're several sections of the brain that deal with language in one or more aspects, and they seem to be spread all over the brain. Recent research on stuttering, for example, seems to indicate that it's an auditory processing problem, not a speech production problem.

Well!
 
Seeing as I've just finished watching = the final=20 story, I'd thought I'd give my comments on the eps.
 
Now, I'm not going to include spoiler = space, but I=20 am going to try not to spoil.. these are more my personal opinions on = the=20 stories rather than specific recaps :)
 
Anyway!
 
Starting with 'The Lost = Gods'
 
I personally thought this was probably = the weakest=20 serial in the whole box set.  It reminded me of some of the season = 4/5=20 stories that where rather weak.  I thought Hsui Tai wasn't as bad = as I'd=20 been fearing, and (outside of this serial) she doesn't normally get a = lot to=20 do.  The storyline was okay, but I did feel Hsui Tai did take not = being a=20 godess rather well!
 
Hitler's Last Secret
 
I loved this serial!  It's = probably my second=20 favourite in the whole series now I've seen them all (second only to = Castle Of=20 Fear.. but I'll come to that ;)
The storyline was excellent, the acting = was IMO=20 above par for a TP serial, and it was seriously disturbing in places, = especially=20 the sequence near the begining where the Nazi youth are trying to shoot = the=20 deserter!  All in all, a really excellent serial that had a good = strong=20 storyline and good characterisation.
 
The Thargon Menace
 
Another good one.. even though I kinda = clicked=20 early due to the titles that the two Thargon escapees where meant to be = the=20 'baddies' in this context.  Certainly interesting, it did however = for me=20 have shades of 'A Man For Emily' which made me shudder a bit = ;)  The=20 ending was VERY shocking... I just didn't think they would be that=20 abrupt.
 
Castle Of Fear
 
Absolutely stunning stuff!!  I = thought this=20 serial was just really really cool, and it had all the things that I = really=20 enjoy about the TP.  The illusionary battle between John and Andrew = was=20 really cool, and again it was slightly darker than previous serials, = especially=20 the scenes with Andrew and his father.  All in all, very cool.. and = also,=20 imo the start of a season that appeared to be pretty much centered on=20 Andrew.  John and Mike had quite a bit to do I suppose, but most of = the=20 three serial in Series 7, (and the one storyline in Series 8) all = appeared to be=20 quite Andrew heavy.
 
Achilles Heel
 
Very cool serial with some laugh out = loud moments=20 (and yes! I'll admit to laughing at both scenes when Andrew gets=20 'zapped'!)  The acting here was also very good, and again, the = ending was=20 very similar to that of The Thargon Menace.  IMO it was theme of = almost all=20 of the serials in this box set that they are considerably more 'mature' = than=20 earlier efforts.
 
Living Skins
 
A cool serial, if a bit silly in = places. =20 Probably my least fav of the three serials in series 7, but the visual = of Andrew=20 being assaulted by a jumpsuit was very amusing!
I liked the way they managed to deal = with the=20 threat, but it was probably not quite as good as the previous=20 stories.
 
War Of The Empires
 
Very good story, which was probably = fitting as the=20 last storyline for the original Tommorrow People series.  Again, = lots of=20 things going on, and Andrew saving the day on more than one = occasion.  Some=20 good humour in this story too, and generally ok acting too.

I'm not sure what you mean by Canadian kids channel.
You Can't Do That On Television was originally
broadcast on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)
which (at the time) was Canada's only national
television broadcasting company.

They tried this but it 'no longer exists', to quote from the show... (does anyone recognise where? character, story and scene please???) I was amazed that he didn't appear at Philip's funeral, and as I've mentioned to people before, I did have a good look at everyone there to see if he had snuck in ;-) Nick, PVC and Mike believe he's still too upset by the insinuations made during the show's run, and this can't be helped by the digs they constantly make throughout the commentaries. Unless he wants to be found, I guess there's not much we can do. Jackie ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 2:37 PM > Is anyone even sure he's still alive?

Date: 25 Aug 2004 15:18:30 +0100 > (At this point the only cast members I haven't heard > of her being able to find were Stephen Salmon and > Misako Kobe) I did see an article about someone who unfortunately committed suicide who's name was Stephen Salmon, but have never had any clue as to where I should start looking for him, so have had little luck on that score. There is no way of telling whether this tradgedy was our Stephen or not! But I do know something of Misako. A few years ago someone contacted me and said that she had been killed in a road accident. I recall telling Nick about it at the time. Then just last year before the dinner a family friend of hers sent me an article about her daughter gaining a music scholarship and sent me a home address. I have written to her on a number of occasions, but unfortunately she has never replied. The friend told me that she still speeks very poor english and would not really want to speak with fans etc. The amusing tale which goes with this involves the DVD commentaries. There is a very small spoiler here, so I'll leave a gap. S P O I L E T S P A C E In the commentary of Lost Gods, Nick is heard to say that she is dead and they go on to laugh about her acting and speach. When I arrived later in the morning they mentined this to me and I said ... 'No, I thought she was dead, but recenelty have learnt that she's alive and living in ......... So in the latter stories they start going on about how good she is and how wonderful her acting is etc. The poor man from Revelations was sitting on the edge of the sofa mumbling about law suits and them making it *too* obvious! It was very funny indeed. Jackie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: starr@planet.eon.net Subject: Re: TPDIS: New Box Set Out!!

YTV is the Canadian kids' channel (The Y is for Youth, not to be confused with the British YTV where the Y stands for Yorkshire). They broadcast YCDTOT reruns and the Tomorrow People OS early in their existence (mid eighties), but never showed the NS as far as I know. They do buy a lot of Nicklodeon programming, and they were the official "Buffy" station in Canada. Oh, and by the way, we had even at that time at least one other "national" broadcaster - CTV. CTV has been around as long as I can remember (I'm 46). The difference between them and CBC is that CTV is privately owned, while CBC is the public broadcaster. I am a CBC fan, myself. I used to watch the OS on CBC on Saturday mornings in the 70's.

And besides, we only had CBC in upstate New York when I was a kid. (70's and early 80's) :-) We didn't get CTV until later. Maybe that's why I thought it was later. mike __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

No, I'm sure nobody is suggesting bugging him - but the problem is we have no way of knowing what he would regard as an intrusion. Back in the mid 1990s, he had some online presence - there was an e-mail address for him on the web, associated with the work he was doing at the time - I don't really understand the details but it seemed to be in relation to a video about how to legally avoid paying tax. I think all that is left of that online is one picture of him, I snaffled from the site before it went down. But he was online, so if he wanted people to find him, he certainly knows how to put an e-mail address out there (or at the very least how to pay someone to do so). Some people *really* value their privacy - I don't know if he is one of them, but he certainly could be.

(Was New Box Set Out!!) Date: 26 Aug 2004 07:00:03 +0100 Hi All, I'll add all that I know to this. Although I've said it before, there may be newbies on the list. The last time he was seen was by Philip before the filming of the 90's series. He came over from Canada and visited Phil's theatre and asked him to play TIM once again. Telling him that TIM would be trapped on the space ship (or something like that) and Phil agreed. At the time he said how he thought he'd wrecked the boys lives ( meaning PVC, Mike & Nigel) and was rather upset about the whole OS stigma. I do think he values his privacy and I've heard that Thames are holding money for him which has never been collected. Just in case he is lurking out there in the world (who knows he could be on this list lol) then here is a message. The boys don't think this at all. Nigel in particular has the fondest memories of Roger and *really* wants to speak to him again. You must remember that all of this is hearsay, nothing substantiated, and as Saps (lol) we are very good at putting two and two together and making five! ;-) Of course we know now that Nickelodeon, or someone else, refused to have TIM back insisting that the NS stood alone from the OS (A big mistake in my opinion). That's all I know about Roger. There is some detail on this web site http://www.ycdtotv.com/articles/10yearslater.htm Which someone found recently. I can't recall if it was someone on this list or another.

I like both series. Yes, the chief recurring weakness of the NS was the cheesy villains, which was only overcome by the last two adventures with such totally unoriginal rip-off plots. However, they got a lot of things right that I feel the OS was weak on. I feel, possibly due to Roger Price's involvement with YCDTOTV, that the characterisation of the TP was more realistic, with a wider range of reactions to becoming a TP. You had Kevin, who had these abilities for a long time and whose mother accused him of being a witch, you had Lisa who didn't want to be different, you had Megabyte who desperately wanted to be a TP, likewise with Jade, and you had Adam who seemed to just take it in his stride. There was also a better feel for comedy, like with those little touches in the Origin Story (like the guy walking his tortise). You also had much better characterisation of the parents we saw (General Damon, Lisa's mother, and Ami's mother). And though the last two adventures *were* such rip-off plots, they were well-executed interpretations. "The Rameses Connection" gave us Christopher Lee as a brilliant villain, and Seeds-of-Doom/The-Invasion-of-the-Body-Snatchers *ahem* "Living Stones" gave us those sinister grannies in dark glasses... I also do like the Origin story, because even though we have that silly Lady Trelawny, we also have the lovely twist with the Head Honcho turning out to be the father of one of the kids involved.

Well, I'd be curious if anyone has any memories of when they realized no more shows were going to be produced? I'm sure some people were probably moving on into adulthood and their interest waned, and others felt betrayed and heartbroken.

Watching it at University, I was dependent on walking over to another college that had a cable tv in the common room (mine didn't) and even on Saturday mornings there were sometimes other people using the common room so I was out of luck. When I finally got a chance to see the whole thing on YTV I was thrilled. Then someone gave me a reference book on British genre TV. The first thing I looked up was the TP, and went down the episode listing and suddenly realized that I'd seen it all. Nothing more to look forward too. It was SUCH a huge let-down. Finding TPDIS and TPFICT and finding out there was a new series was great, but I found the new series a bit of a disappointment, because I didn't WANT a new series - I wanted more of the old series. It made it hard to appreciate the new series on its own merits. The DVDs and the Big Finish productions, which I probably never would have discovered without you lot (and certainly wouldn't have known that I could get a DVD player in Canada that would play PAL DVDs) has been much more satisfying. Thanks, guys!

Why the bizarre actions? ANd why was there a TP in the past? Why did it h ave to be Eygpt and mess up with cointinuity of the old show? ---- I may have to disagree with you there. I don't think that it messes with the continuity of the old show at all. I think that it adds an interesting explanation to both series. We had an episode in the OS where the TP go into the pyramids and discover psi-dampening machines that could had prevented the further breakout of other TP's beginning in ancient Egypt (I want to say the episode was Worlds Away or A Much Needed Holiday... I just don't remember. I think it was Worlds Away). The Kulthan (sp) built then deep within the pyramids to keep telepathic abilities from developing, and then looking for telepaths for "sacrifice" (vesh and vesh keepers keep coming to mind). If you want to do some linking between series (but not some really historical linking... it is sci-fi) we could say that King Tut broke out either before or a little after the Kulthan came here. Ramses makes the comment that there were others who had tried to stop him, and he had been taking care of them (in other words killing TP). With the Kulthan around it explains in both series why there were no other TP to really speak of until the OS. It also explains why we can still have a few TP running around (Tut for example... There was also the girl in Worlds Away). While the Kulthan where here, they're chasing and killing (or so we think) potential TPs. With the introduction of Ramses into the picture, we have yet another person/thing who doesn't like TP, and believes them to be in the way of their master plan. Solution? Take care of them (in a not so caring fashion). I think that another thing to keep in mind is that I don't think we were supposed to connect the two series as much as we tend to do (IMHO). I had never seen the OS until 5 or 6 years ago (granted I wasn't even born when it was originally ran, and was really little when it was on Nickelodeon). That's one of the reasons why I don't connect them. IMO they were made to stand alone from each other. They make no mention in the NS regarding the OS except for in the books, but I don't know if we even consider them cannon or not.

I was talking about totally new stories. BTW something else of vague interest to you... When I met Nick recently he mentioned that Philip's theatre had been destroyed and a block of flats built in its place, but the other day I went over there and it is still standing. It's in a somewhat dilapidated state and the garden is overgrown, but I can't help wondering whether someone who realises the value of film and theatre memorabilia will go through the contents with a fine-toothed-comb and discover some gems to put up on ebay.

Date: 28 Aug 2004 09:56:20 +0100 The first TP I ever saw was NS and I loved it - I still do! However, you're right about the Rameses Connection, despite Christopher Lee's best efforts was soooo cheesy. When I saw the end of it, I thought OK how do they deal with this, the ending really was a major let down. Monsoon Man was possibly the most implausible plot of all. It seemed to me that the bad guys should have been taken away by the men in white coats a long, loooong time ago! The best NS story has to be, without doubt, The Culex Experiment with all its twists and turns, and best of all it makes you think! I am sooo looking forward to the NS coming out on DVD. :):) Regards, Carol -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-tpdis@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Kristin Dunn Sent: 27 August 2004 16:14 Kat said: >And though the last two adventures *were* such rip-off plots, they were >well-executed interpretations. "The Rameses Connection" gave us >Christopher Lee as a brilliant villain, Indeed so but that was offset by the really stupid aliens in raincoats and that silly old woman alien. What was that about? Why the bizarre actions? ANd why was there a TP in the past? Why did it h ave to be Eygpt and mess up with cointinuity of the old show? ---- I may have to disagree with you there. I don't think that it messes with the continuity of the old show at all. I think that it adds an interesting explanation to both series. We had an episode in the OS where the TP go into the pyramids and discover psi-dampening machines that could had prevented the further breakout of other TP's beginning in ancient Egypt (I want to say the episode was Worlds Away or A Much Needed Holiday... I just don't remember. I think it was Worlds Away). The Kulthan (sp) built then deep within the pyramids to keep telepathic abilities from developing, and then looking for telepaths for "sacrifice" (vesh and vesh keepers keep coming to mind). If you want to do some linking between series (but not some really historical linking... it is sci-fi) we could say that King Tut broke out either before or a little after the Kulthan came here. Ramses makes the comment that there were others who had tried to stop him, and he had been taking care of them (in other words killing TP). With the Kulthan around it explains in both series why there were no other TP to really speak of until the OS. It also explains why we can still have a few TP running around (Tut for example... There was also the girl in Worlds Away). While the Kulthan where here, they're chasing and killing (or so we think) potential TPs. With the introduction of Ramses into the picture, we have yet another person/thing who doesn't like TP, and believes them to be in the way of their master plan. Solution? Take care of them (in a not so caring fashion). I think that another thing to keep in mind is that I don't think we were supposed to connect the two series as much as we tend to do (IMHO). I had never seen the OS until 5 or 6 years ago (granted I wasn't even born when it was originally ran, and was really little when it was on Nickelodeon). That's one of the reasons why I don't connect them. IMO they were made to stand alone from each other. They make no mention in the NS regarding the OS except for in the books, but I don't know if we even consider them cannon or not. Each series had it's own quirks and it's own cheesy monsters and aliens (bubble rap aliens? It's like watching Dr Who ::ducks:: ::whispers I like DW though::), huge plot holes, and cannon breaks. Every series does that at some point. Not a reason to say it jumped the shark though. Oh yeah, Kevin's mom didn't actually appear in the series.

Date: 28 Aug 2004 13:17:49 -0400 I always found the difference in the English language between England and the US to be fascinating. We call them dumpsters here. I grew up watching TP and Dr. Who, so went out of my way to learn some of the differences in our language. But I have never heard the skip term. Funny story. A friend and I were in England a couple months ago, he absolutely loves biscuits, but I told him he wouldn't find them and explained what biscuit is to the English. He is a real picky eater too and refused to try a scone, which I said would be about the closest thing he would find to what we call a biscuit. :) -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Jackie Clark Sent: Saturday, August 28, 2004 10:39 AM It's a big metal container used in the building trade to dump rubbish in before it is removed for disposal. > In a message dated 8/28/2004 2:47:49 AM Eastern Standard Time, > Jackie@effdee.demon.co.uk writes: > Let's all hope that this does happen and things (scripts, photos etc) don't > end up in a skip! > > Jackie > Ok, Ignorant American question...What's a Skip? > Toreen > > > "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" > -Edmund Burke > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jasmine Sadrieh Subject: Re: TPDIS: New Box Set Out!!

Somewhere in the program will be where to enter the server you have. You can use irc.sorcery.net to get a random server assigned to you. Once connected just type /join #TomorrowPeople Now one of these days I need to come myself. :) http://www.mirc.co.uk/irc.html has some good info on the IRC network. -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Jackie Clark Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 11:59 AM Will this help at all? http://www.mirc.co.uk/index ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 4:44 PM > >It's that time once again on a Sunday afternoon... is there anyone picking > >up this telepathic message who has time to jaunt into chat? > > > > > can anyone tell me how to get into chat using a Mac? > > thanks! > Marie > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jackie Clark" Subject: Re: TPDIS: any one for chat?

It's at: http://www.chipersoft.com/athena/ and while it's no longer in development, its replacement, Minerva, looks good as well. I've had no problem using it for our chats.

I can get brit comedy from here. This is good and I hope this never changes. Thankfully, big finish does ship to USA. Mike and I should be receiving our tp dvd's from sendit.com and our audio tapes from bigfinish soon. sendit already sent the shipment. -- TPKyteroo jaunting off To be or not to be may be the question, but the answer is a definent maybe I should of, could of... if only.

Right now MVC has an exclusive on that box set for six months. Black--er, sendit.com and Benson's World will likely have the individual DVDs within a few month. The company releasing the DVDs, Revelation Films, were offering the set for sale, but it disppeared within 24 hours of this information being posted to the list. Chances are, due to the MVC exclusive, they had limited stock. It wouldn't be the first time where DVDs were scarce that list members have cleaned out a dealer's stock. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the site and the list, as people tend to order their copy, then post to the list where they managed to do so. If you happen to be first to notice it going up for sale, I'd definitely recommend ordering yours first. Hope this helps. :) Tigger ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeremy Rogers Subject: Re: New Series (was Re: TPDIS: New Box Set Out!!)

Thank Nickelodeon largely for the cheesy villains ... They had quite a lot of influence over the first 3 stories; they picked the ideas for Culex and Monsoon Men out of a list of 10 even though the authors thought them to be the 2 weakest stories they had presented. Nick requests were later deliberately ridiculed by some elements of Living Stones and I have wondered whether they picked up on that. (For those who don't know, Nickelodeon expressly asked for one of the serials to feature a pop star and a pet dog, and Lee Pressman subverted the intent of this request.) Pressman incidentally watched several OS serials in between his 2 series; Grant Cathro I think took the decision expressly not to watch the OS.

I ask, because I had a pretend friend from ages ago (when I was 3 years old) that became my favorite story character named Jezrxal. His nickname is Jez or Jezzy. I like your nickname. :) That is where I got my Jez character from. -- TPKyteroo jaunting off To be or not to be may be the question, but the answer is a definent maybe I should of, could of... if only.
