It appears that V the series is being shown again on Channel 5. Part 1 is at
11PM tonight. Is it any good?

So, should I watch it?
Andy
V as far as I can remember was a little bit shite.
Having said that, the books were ok tho, like "the pursuit of diana".
cheers

Let me just check:
It was called "V" wasn't it?
(i.e. the letter "V" after "U", - V for victory....)
NOT the number "V" (5) after "IV" (4)
- someone should tell the Ch5 announcer!

In the end I decided to watch it. Good start, trailed off towards the end.
So, huge flying saucers cruise in and park over major cities. Now I know
were Independance Day got it's inspiration.
Incidentally, did anyone tape the short film on channel 4 at about the same
time? Called "Flying Saucer Rock 'n Roll" (I believe) it starred Ardal
o'Hanlan in a spoof of all those 50's alien invasion movies. Far better than
Mars Attacks! was.

Actually, you want to read "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke.
If you go down to the Union this afternoon, Asan will direct you at it -
because it's in the
IFIS library.

Whoa, we're getting a bit of temporal distortion in the emails today. This
message is actually from tomorrow (Wednesday), but got drawn back through a
subspace vortex into today. So if you go to the SU today (Tuesday), the
library won't be open on account of it not being tomorrow yet. If you get my
meaning. So come down to the Union tomorrow (Wednesday), or the next day
(Thursday) and you'll easily be able to borrow any of the gazillion books in
the
IFIS library. 1-3 pm, through the door to the right of the Box Office.
Later,
Steve :-)

Ah ! This sounds like the first ep of V the mini series. What else
happened ?
Did they do the "We come in peace to share our technology" bit ?
I thought of this when I saw ID4 at the cinema ....
