Re: Golden Compass Backlash... Ah here we are Nicole Kidman says it's not anti-catholic "I think there's almost an alarmist approach to it right now, and when you see the film, that will be dissipated. That's simply put." SCI FI Wire | The News Service of the SCI FI Channel | SCIFI.COM

Re: Iain Banks is a scotch expert? They have a fair few drams in Dead Air (even though it's based in London) and the Scottish characters in it clearly know their whiskey

The Green Mile is my favourite by err miles ;)

Hercules is on Bravo 2 in the UK

Re: Golden Compass Backlash... Iansales pointed to a quote from The Times on Nov 27th and I've heard stuff on the radio too. I'm spose we'll have to wait and see when the film comes out. I remember a few arguments when the books first came out and I'm sure it's possibly one of the reasons...

Anyone seen The Golden Compass yet?

Wow this is really taking me back - I'd love to see American Gothic back on TV sometime.

Great interview - novel 253 is one of my favourite books

Excellent quote - will try to find some opportunity to use it

Shame - Simm would have made a perfect Dr. I actually liked his hamminess as the Master and he can play understated with his hands tied behind his back when he wants to - Life on Mars & Crime & Punishment are evidence of that.

But in reality Peter's power only works if you live in a place where you come into contact with loads of other people with powers. I think Nathan's flying power is definitely the handiest one to have - it would save you a fortune in transport costs

On BBC2 in the UK we get Heroes Unmasked. The show features interviews with cast and crew members as well as special effects artists discussing the process behind the creation of each episode as well as revealing plot backgrounds and future stories. Needless to say, it rocks.

I'm with the people who like it - plus Modhinder's voice is probably the best to use.

Thanks for the link - I saw Neil Gaiman speak and do a reading in London last year and he's a really funny guy in the flesh but quite unassuming as well. He was really excited about the filming of Stardust.

It's funny that the book came after the TV show, which just goes to show that Gaiman wanted to take the TV series further than he could. It would be interesting to see how Neverwhere would be produced on TV now. I heard ages ago that Jim Henson Productions had the broadcast / film rights to it...

I've never read any of his Sci-Fi - but do love his "normal" fiction I do think that The Bridge & Espadair Street show that he'd be a brilliant "traditional" Sci Fi author - does anyone have a good recommendation to start with his SciFi?
