If the choice is between not seeing the serials at all and seeing them in B&W it seems pretty clear to me what the fans would want. I wonder where the attitude that B&W is such a "hard sell" comes from. There are a lot of old U.S. programs which are still very popular (I Love Lucy, for example). Perhaps if we put some pressure on our PBS stations (and the BBC?) we could convince them otherwise. -- John Bruner (S-1 Project, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) MILNET: jdb@mordor.ARPA [jdb@s1-c] (415) 422-0758 UUCP: ...!ucbvax!dual!mordor!jdb ...!decvax!decwrl!mordor!jdb
