I think Ferry finds her quite exotic and enjoys her individual style of singing; she's not too nice and not the average kind of female. ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 09:19:00 +0100 From: "Han Snijders" Subject: Re: [AVALON] A Mad Affair - near sell-out ? > And, in keeping with recent threads/postings to the list, I would just like > to say it's a shame that no 'hamburger chomping, Jerry Springer watching > Americans' will be attending (so far), I've heard that Martin and Chris have a plan to bring in Colleen(chained and bound) as a surprise.

Here's what a little digging turned up. No mention of Ferry In 1987, a group gained the rights from the BBC to make a feature film version of the good Doctor. This group was called Daltenreys, and in addition to two members of the musical act, Dire Straits, was made up of George Dugdale, John Humphreys and Peter Litten. This could not get off the ground until they hooked up in 1993 with Lumiere Pictures. They had a script by Denny Martin Flynn and Leonard Nimoy in the director's chair, both of Star Trek fame. They even had Alan Rickman in discussions to take the title role. In 1994, however, the BBC yanked the rights out from under them, saying their option had expired. Daltenreys retorted that the BBC had done nothing but hamper them in their attempts to get things rolling, and the option was taken back in favor of Phil Segal, the man behind 1996's Fox TV movie. A lawsuit has been filed and is pending at this time. from: http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/doctorwho.html Chris (calmed down now, thankyou) Incidentally, UK comedian Angus Deayton once quipped that one could easily replicate the Internet by randomly ringing up anyone in the world and asking them if they like Star Trek or Dr. Who... ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 19:10:49 +0100 From: M Gussekloo Subject: [AVALON] RoxyReunion Jocelyn Fiske> I get the impression it's more likely to happen than not, but we've heard Jocelyn Fiske> that before haven't we playmates?

I'm intrested in the "Farewell To The World" video and found it on Amazon.com. But I wonder if there are any legal CD's from the concert? If there is I would be intrested in buying or trading one. If there is a bootleg I'll be intrested in that too. :-) And if someone on the list has a "Farewell To The World" video that they want to sell or trade, I'm game. Mail me off list. Thank you.

Specially for those who wants to join the MAD AFFAIR, or are considering it. Yesterday I saw the latest gig of Re-make/Re-model in Rotterdam. AND IT WAS THRILLING. I'm not gonna tell you which songs they played during that concert. But, it would surprise you, and it will surprise you. We, Dutch Avalonians, are looking forward to join the gig in the country where Bryan Ferry comes from. After the experience of Petworth & Castle Howard I know how the audience will react. SO ............ IT WILL BE THRILLING. Regards, Ed ___________________________________________________________________________ The subliminable footer says: To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 23:24:19 +0000 From: stevesiren Subject: Re: [AVALON] Trash Ferry once said in the 70's that the only thing wrong with the first Roxy album was the production, (which i feel was a little unfair on Sinfield) and wanted to re-record all of it ,hence re-make,2hb,chance meeting appearing on "b" sides of the time, before LST . Steve Or maybe it's about the LST version of Re-Make/Re-Model..... Not a patch on the original, I've never been able to fathom just WHY he did that version. Why do you love it? Did you know this version before the RM version? And before anyone starts - I'm not being horrible, I'm just curious as I've never got on with that version.

You are of course forgetting that Dr Who was actually a pretty massive show in the 1970s. Did you know that the villian in Blakes Seven was based on Bryan Ferry?
