End Listing Excerpt PROGRAMME SPOTLIGHT: Michael Palin's Regrettably Titled Travel Series He was the first BBC presenter to make television on a planet other than Earth. Over the centuries he's been a fugitive from (false) justice, a cultural envoy, an ambassador of peace, and one of the most widely traveled Earthmen in the history of the Diaspora - but through it all he's remained a beloved national treasure of his native Britain. In this, his 200th BBC travel programme, Michael Palin takes on the most sprawling subject yet - the Outer Rim Territories at the edge of civilized space - and shows once again the abundant wit, gentle humanity, and traditional British intrepidity that have made him such a generations-spanning icon. As he explains in the flyleaf to the companion book, "The show has the title it has because of the two principal alternatives, Around the Rim with Michael Palin was terrible and Michael Palin's Outer Rim was worse." |

>> MegaZone/Loki: John Cleese. > >This breaks my brain. But in a good way. There's little enough physical resemblance (apart from the height), but of all the Pythons, only Cleese could really capture the neck-vein-bulging deranged ranting insanity of Loki-in-possession. I mainly had in mind the Fitness Instructor ("Right! Today we will learn how to defend ourselves from a man armed with a banana!" "Suppose he's got a bunch." "Shut up!" "Suppose he's got a pointed stick." "Shut up!") and especially Mr Wiggin of Ironside & Malone: "Yes, well of course that's the kind of blinkered, Philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss about the struggling artist. You excrement! You lousy hypocritical whining toadies! With your lousy colour TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding Masonic handshakes! You wouldn't let me join would you you blackballing bastards! Well I wouldn't become a Freemason now if you went down on your lousy stinking purulent knees and begged me!!" --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Cyber Coordinator: Cyberleader Darul Gold. >(Repeat) Adam Feldon as the Professor? Was this before or after Rose Tyler? If it was after, that would be a shame....she's much more decorative. But, I might have a fixation. As to the Top Gear/Autobots thing....the mind boggles. Those guys never met a car they didn't at least try to bend, or so it seems... Thanks, Gryph. Just the giggle I needed at 0630 on this, my Deity-given day of rest. - Bodhi "Who knew the British could be such sneaky bastards?" -- Source unknown. |

>Adam Feldon as the Professor? Was this before or after Rose Tyler? Feldon was the Professor before Rose, who debuted in April of 2410; this is a rerun of an episode from the previous season (or "series", as the BBC rather confusingly calls them). The first-run eps air on Sundays, at least on the Galactic Service. >As to the Top Gear/Autobots thing....the mind boggles. Those guys >never met a car they didn't at least try to bend, or so it >seems... As Wedge speculated when I mentioned this listing in the studio: "James... who is that?" "That's Perceptor. He's the Autobots' chief scientist." "Right. That's what I thought. That's not going to work at all." "Why not? He's quite a dignified sort of chap." "He's got no vehicle mode, you pillock." "... cock." --G. -><- Benjamin D. Hutchins, Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief, & Forum Admin Eyrie Productions, Unlimited http://www.eyrie-productions.com/ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam. |

Yeah, I think you can fiddle the toy into a sort of "maser tank" mode, but still, as you say, just... no. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
