Well it might be an IE only DRM’d piece of crap but does it have any redeeming points? Not that I can find. Had a play with it last night and can’t say I was impressed. 30 mins show at 142Mb, not bad but took ages to download and quality was piss poor on my big telly, loads of artifacting. With that and the max 28 days to watch (7 days once you’ve watched it once) I will definately be sticking to torrents if that’s all they can offer! Expected better of the beeb Here is a good site with detailed instructions for building your own TARDIS. A here is a guy who has built his own TARDIS, console, console room, Daleks and K9, with loads of pics of them in progress Guess what I got of UKNova last night! Only the first episode of the new Dr Who!! It’s not even due to be broadcast till the end of the month. Wasn’t on there for long though, bit likely to draw the wrong sort of attention methinks Post viewing report coming later! I’ve had some good bits of televisual geekery off UKN last week as well, two of which were the “Beeb VT Christmas tapes” from 78 & 79 (made by the guys in “VT” and not for public consumption), lots of comic Dr Who clips in there amongst other stuff! Update:
Ofcom proposes to allow local religious and community organisations to operate within the UK Citizen Band allocation, to begin with, by licensing a number of such organisations to transmit services in a limited number of pilot areas. Can see trouble when mic keyers and worse key over the vicar though! and how about this, they said it wasn’t possible – a GSM mobile phone interceptor – a scanner for GSM phones, a snip at £228,000 Law enforcement agencies only so looks like I’ll have to give it a miss :p The new radio episodes of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy I mentioned in November will air on Radio 4 on Tuesday 21 September 2004 at 6.30pm. Previews and more information here. Also, the long awaited DVD release of Series 2 of “Terry Nation’s Survivors” has been given a provisional release date of 4th October. Good news on the “Terry Nation’s Survivors” front, it has been confirmed that the second series of Survivors will DEFINITELY be released on DVD and Video later this year. There will be a new Hitch Hiker’s radio series out in 2004 – yes you read right! According to the BBC, the Tertiary Phase of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will be aired on Radio 4 next year. First off is a 6 parter of Life, the Universe and Everything due in spring 2004 followed by an 8 part adaptation of So Long and Thanks for All the Fish and Mostly Harmless. Hopefully it comes out OK without the oversight of Douglas Adams or Peter Jones as the voice of The Book, they’ve got a lot to live up to. Douglas himself will be playing the part of Agrajag… thanks to some recorded book readings. I Bought myself the new DVD box set of Survivors series 1 last week. It is the first thirteen episodes on four DVDs with several extras and a 36 page booklet. It’s been well done so I hope that it is successful so that we get to see Series 2 and 3 on DVD as well. If you’re not familliar with Survivors it was a BBC TV disaster series from 1975, created by Terry Nation it portrayed a world decimated by an unknown virus which killed off 99% of the worlds population. More information on Survivors here and here. Greg Dyke, director general of the BBC, has announced plans to give the public full access to all the corporation’s programme archives. More at BBC News. Will be very cool if this really happens. |
