Obviously this is a law which we are unable to alter. However strange it may be.   The biggest problem we face is copy right laws, and also grossly over the top taxes also impede our region 2 service to the US.   We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If any thing is to change regarding this issue in future we will advertise the fact on our site. Kind regards,   Email Support Team   Play I wonder how other companies get around it? I wonder if the company who shall remain nameless even pays the over the top fees? I wouldn't mind paying more just to keep hollywood from getting the greedy hands on my money. However, I do think that it is about time that hollywood's grip on congress (national congress) was pried off with force - the force of justice and perhaps a bleepin good lawyer. It would take a lawyer so skilled at debate that they could sell a life time hair cutting and perm job to a bald guy who is not going to grow hair or get those new hair techniques done. It will take proving that regional dvd's and high tarriffs on region 2 are only hurting Americans and discriminating against are free choice to choose what we want to buy. Currently, according to play.com, it is practically, but not totally, illegal for an American to buy anything that is not region 1. "The good Life" may have copyright laws in America as "The Good Neighbor" which is owned by someone else perhaps and has the exclusive to selling their version here. However, I did find a company who will give me the real version. Thankfully! I wonder if the company I go thru just absorbs the cost? Sendit.com has been very good in sending me the Tomorrow People dvd's. I highly recommend them. I just wish that I could find out about other brit comedy shows that aren't ever shown here. Someday, I will go to England with $8000 and spend away. Yeah right, and money grows on trees, and I am the Queen's adopted daughter! Maybe, someday I will get to England and be able to spend $1000 (500 pounds) on dvd's and what nots. It just isn't a priority. Just a dream. -- 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. What one man ponders, the other man retorts.

In fact, it's a violation of Australian and New Zealand law, at any rate (the Trade Practices Act -- region-coding is a price-fixing monopoly collusion). If they're referring to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, or its equivalents, that would only forbid them selling you a multi-region DVD player... it still wouldn't forbid them from selling you region 2 DVDs. Unfortunately, cases like Dimitri Sklyarov (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Dmitri%20Sklyarov) make people afraid of being arrested for asserting their rights.

I have had 24 hours of complete frustration when windows decided to update itself and everything stopped working. I was beginning to think it was all this TK ability I've developed lately lol So apologies for not being in chat last night. I couldn't type so there was little point. Okay, back to the reason for this post... Yesterday I left my block of flats and stepped out onto the path immediately behind a youth who obviously thought he was very cool. I live in one of four blocks and although it is a private path and drive people often use it to cut through to the main road. Anyway, this young man was dressed as many teenagers do these days with baggy jeans undone at the waist and hanging down off his hips to show the designer name on his underwear... do you get the picture? He thought he looked cool and as I walked behind him he diverted from the path, cut across the grass, stepped though the bushes and climbed the low boundary wall. 'B cheek!' I thought. The guy saved himself about three seconds and was now walking immediately in front of me. Staring at his back and baggy trousers a suddenly wicked thought came to mind. I stretched out my mind and willed his trousers to fall down as payback. Well they started to slip and I could see him holding the front of the legs in a vain attempt to keep them up, while remaining as cool looking as he could, of course. We were on the main road by now, and I concentrated even harder tugging mentally at his trousers... and guess what? They suddenly gave way, slipping down and revealing a large portion of his backside! I laughed and he yanked them up, having to actually do up the buttons and belt to keep them up. Satisfied, and thanking Liz for the idea (see three in three) I crossed the road and headed off to my allotment. So am I telekinetic? Or was it fate that paid this young man back for following fashion? You decide...

A few months later he appeared on Blue Peter, which would have been more of a time when children would have seen him I guess.

You decide...] Actually, I do not think it was telekinetic. There is a person in a group I attend who has the same fashion "sense". His trousers constantly fall down. Men's bodies simply were not made for wearing pants in this fashion. They do not have enough hip bone to keep them up. The group leader is constantly telling him that he either has to start wearing a belt or somehow keep his pants up. So, he always hangs on to his pants when he gets up off the couch. Personally, I am tired of seeing his undies, and wish he'd either get a life or switch fashions. His choice. I say this with a sense of humor. I'm getting use to it and use to looking the other way.

' I thought the replacement for TIM was excellent. He deliberately did NOT listen to Phil's voice beforehand but the end result was spot on. The voice could certainly be TIM after a computer breakdown. My theory is that John improved the computer whilst repairing it and sped everything up which resulted in a slightly faster response from TIM hence the slightly quicker vocal delivery....!'

Date: 07 Sep 2004 21:16:00 +0100 I've finally got round to writing up this review, which I started a while ago. S P O I L E R S P A C E I enjoyed this story. It's an intelligent, thought-provoking and complex drama, melancholy in tone but ultimately satisfying, with excellent acting from everyone involved. Several threads of narrative are woven together from the outset and not all are real, something that's not apparent for quite a while. Only near the start of episode three does the narrative come full circle, when John and Paul's dreams go back to the beginning. In fact there is a continual blurring of reality and illusion throughout the story. As Doctor Cooper tells John: "The line between fantasy and reality isn't always easy to distinguish." Ironically, Doctor Cooper doesn't exist! Interestingly, the dreams experienced by those hooked up to the dream machine, with their motifs of pursuit, loss, abandonment and isolation, are reflections of the alien's sense of being trapped and Robert's disturbed state of mind. Paul dreams of having to hide in caves - a reference to the alien in his suspended animation underground - and of being hunted down, then forced to take part in gladiatorial combat, undoubtedly a metaphor for Robert's inner demons. There is even an allusion to a beacon having been destroyed, just as the alien's homing beacon was switched off by Robert. Therese dreams of her dead son, which parallels Robert's bereavement, while Elena dreams of her father. Perhaps her father is also dead. John dreams of being alone, unable to contact the other TP, even as Robert fears being left alone and friendless if the alien were to leave; similarly, the alien is unable to contact his own kind. On reflection, the reference to John's dead brother is probably not intended to be taken literally. John's conversation with the psychiatrist is all part of the dream sequence and so cannot be trusted. We do not know precisely what hallucinations John experienced in the tunnel, as he only tells the imaginary Doctor Cooper, and not Elena or Paul, what he saw there. This technique, when used in a novel, is termed unreliable narration. In addition, the brother supposedly died violently, an echo of the fate of Robert's parents, while John's reaction when Doctor Cooper mentions his brother mirrors Robert's anger when Therese refers to his parents. I particularly liked the way the story encapsulates what it is to be a Tomorrow Person, above all the way TP are inextricably connected to each other, thus how dreadful it would be to lose their powers and to be utterly alone, unable to make contact. John chillingly conveys the full horror of this isolation in his dream, even though later he is characteristically unable to confide his experience to the others. Mental illness is a lonely and isolating condition. Those who suffer from it do not fit in and others are unwilling to mix with them. To equate mental disorder with being a Tomorrow Person is an intriguing analogy and begs the question what exactly is normality. TP powers bind them together, yet paradoxically set them apart from the 'norm,' i.e. Saps. "Why do they do this?" asks Paul, when facing death at the hands of savages. "Because we're different," replies Thragg. Robert is treated sympathetically by the TP, despite having apparently used psychic energy to hurt them. Eventually he's sent to the Trig for therapy, which is reminiscent of what happened to Stephen in "The Deadliest Species," although his name and paintings of alien landscapes seem to link him to the Robert in "The Blue and the Green." This may be a reference to the original Robert's metamorphosis, the equivalent of a TP breaking out. What is the significance of the folly, surely a strange choice of dwelling for anyone? It can be seen as symbolic both of Therese's occupation and temperament. The folly stands on a hill, suggesting solitude and watching over events, as well as an association with the past. It looks like a castle, which implies a sense of solidity and reality. Significantly, Elena claims it feels safe. However, the word folly can mean insanity. Perhaps Therese has sought refuge from the grief of losing her son by burying herself in her work, dealing with the problems of her patients. And yet ironically she is the only one who sees through the illusions wrought by the dream machine. A mere Sap saves the day here. This is not, as she wryly suggests, simply due to her cynicism. A more likely explanation is that she has a greater self-understanding than the other characters and hence is more willing to face the truth. She has already confronted her darkest fears and so is indeed qualified to help others face theirs. Doors being opened throughout the story appear to represent the release of repression. In John's case his dream forces him to confront possibly his deepest fear, that of being 'normal.' It's interesting that Elena sees a vision of water in the tunnel, since water signifies transformation or transition, in addition to being a link between the known and unknown, reality and fantasy. There are also allusions to folklore and superstition. Traditionally, elves or fairies were often supposed to live within hillsides, ancient burial mounds or subterranean caves. Their realm is literally one of illusion, set apart from the human world. Once inside this place it is extremely difficult for mortals to leave it. Anything is possible there and time itself becomes meaningless. The alien in "Alone," trapped in his underground spaceship for possibly untold aeons and drawing people to him through crevices, is identified with these supernatural beings. His world is one of illusion and hallucination, as well as being timeless. Paul has lost track of time in his dream and is unable to recall how long he has been with Thragg. Some questions remain unanswered. Has Elena visited the alien's planet? How else would she know that the colours of Robert's paintings are wrong? How do the TP, Therese and Andrew become hooked up to the dream machine? Why are the stones in a circle and how did they get there? Were they somehow attracted to the spaceship? How could the alien communicate telepathically when he was in suspended animation? Confusingly, we're told he doesn't even have a corporeal form. Moreover, as others have noted, it's strange that John can hear Robert's voice, but not the alien's, given that he's heard mysterious voices in two earlier audio dramas. On consideration, it seems implausible that TIM is knocked out so easily, apparently from an overload caused by Robert's telepathic scream, but I suppose it's acceptable within the context of the story. What are the 'complications' regarding TIM, referred to by John? Is this allusion intended to prepare us for the 'new' TIM's voice? John also speaks of other computers in the Lab, which must surely be the first time they've been mentioned. These are minor quibbles, however. On the whole "Alone" is an impressive offering from Nigel Fairs, which encourages one to hope that in his hands the TP audios will go from strength to strength. Fairs clearly understands and respects the series. In particular, he has cleverly turned the concept of a Tomorrow Person never being alone on its head. Anyta. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Kathryn Andersen Subject: Re: TPDIS: Now and Then II Date: 08 Sep 2004 07:28:00 +1000 On Tue, Sep 07, 2004 at 07:13:49PM +0100, Jackie Clark wrote: > Thanks for the work on this, Peter.

I am so happy! I finally got the last 2 box sets. I also got the audio cd's #1 - 8. #10 - 12 should be here soon. So far, I have started listening to "deadliest species" and watched most of the commentary to "The Sogguth". I don't have that title quite right. The title is upstairs and I am downstairs. I plan to watch the dvd's from "One Law" with Mickbeamer on Thursday evening. I'm trying to wait to watch the story line until then. Yes, it is definately worth the wait. I go to the health club tomorrow evening to try and get in better shape then Nick and PVC looked in the show. If I pull it off (getting in very good shape), I might be able to convince my brother to take me to the boundary waters canoe area. It will be a good relaxing place to write another story. I've so far, have decided not to enter a story this year. My creative juices are not flowing currently. I have too much going on. Next year! I love the picture! I am interested in any other comments on the picture too! (I'm posting this with this email so that those with small email space don't get overloaded.)
