Re: April Fool
Fairly sure there's a semi-official DVD floating around which also has a half-hour interview with the producers. I bought it online a year or so back, quite cheap. Was surprised to find I still had the book, which I found secondhand some time in the 90s. I remember watching this with my parents at t...

FANNUAL TWO - The UNIT Fannual 1974
Following the success of and interest in the Peter Cushing Dr. Who Fannual, a second Fannual is being seriously considered. It will follow the adventures of UNIT, set during season 10 of Doctor Who in 1973, between The Three Doctors and The Green Death. It is primarily about UNIT, and how they cope ...

Operation S.W.O.R.D - a Gerry Anderson series concept that got far enough advanced to have an Annual produced. Possibly the original successor to Captain Scarlet before Lew Grade diverted him onto Joe 90? Project SWORD was never a serious consideration as a TV series. It was simply a marketing umbr...

Considering the hacking down of US TV 'hours' to about only 42 minutes of actual show, how long before the UK does away with titles sequences, as is evident on shows like Heroes, Agents of SHIELD and Hart of Dixie - a few seconds of series title with, effectively, a jingle/sting?

Re: Banned Discovery/YTV Documentary - Conspiracy of Silence
Thanks Mickey. If true, it's interesting that no other US government has been shown this, or seen to act on its revelations. Doesn't that make all subsequent governments, and indeed law enforcement agencies, an accessory after the very obvious crime(s)?

Hello Jill,
Yes, that is the problem with the IMDB, as originally it started as a movie database which expanded to other audio visual work like TV. Radio and theatre databases/publications are less prevalent but some do exist.
