He was there for a pledge-drive and hosted the marathon via pre-recorded clips between segments. He did fill us in on what everyone is doing lately. Most of the cast is still alive (scary thought heheh) and doing stage productions in the West End of London. Inman himself will be working on an "updated" version of Macbeth for the stage (a pseudo-comedy at that). He plays one of the witches =) --- TriToss (tm) 1.03 - #79 * Origin: Red Dwarf (1:3619/30) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 270 DR WHO/BRIT SCIF Ref: E5B00016Date: 05/06/97 From: COLLEEN HILLERUP Time: 08:05am \/To: JOHN GILBERT (Read 1 times) Subj: BBC sued?

No, Shatner directed Start Trek V, and I agree it was the worst of the lot. However, I would love to see what they could have done with Dr Who. Is it totally dead or just mostly?

Well, the KERA site is useless, because the slot is 12:00AM on Sunday orning, and the week end is sat night, you have to wait till the week changes to see that, and as RD is the *FIRST THING* on the weekly schedule, by the time you see it, it's already passed.
