Joe,
I'm sorry I wouldn't ask, but those of us in the UK are at our wit's end
here.
Channel Four are showing the final five episodes right now. Despite all the
phone calls (over 1000, the highest number ever received on one show by C4)
and more postings on their B5 forum, C4 are still managing to screw
everything up. We have only one hope left: that they will shut up over the
final credits for Sleeping in Light. You see, even though this is the second
showing, the first one was ruined by a literally enormous logo on the bottom
right of the screen: so big, episode names included 'Wheel of [BB:11:42]'
Sleeping in L[BB: 11:40], and your name didn't fair any better. In addition,
they talked (inanely) over the closing credits. All we want is for Channel 4
to tell us they are going to shut up, just this once, and refrain from
advertising their C4 books on B5, refrain from shrinking the page, and just
let us see your 'gift to the fans' and hear Chris Franke's magnificent
score. Not a lot to ask, you may think, but despite phone calls, e-mails and
faxes (which ranged from polite to angry to furious) they're refusing to
even put an informative post on their forum (the busiest on the web site).
PLEASE! I know you couldn't stop the Big Breakfast debacle, but could you
phone C4 and explain why this is so important to us? You're the only one
they might listen to!
Thanks.
Shaz
