I can't recall whether The Bill was ever worth watching.

I watched it in the early days before they serialised it. Much better.

Agreed - the first series of hour long episodes were quite good.

Is that Tucker Jenkins I saw in a recent advert for the programme?

Yep.

More worryingly is that Mr Benn appears to be having a fling with Wendy
Richards in EastEnders.

I think UK Gold ran it last weekend for The Bill.

Why are there always parking spaces available in EE?
Why is the programme apparently full of hideous teenagers?
Why doesn't somebody finally do away with Ian Bile?

That's a standard failing in almost any drama. Wherever he's going, the
hero always gets to park right outside the front door.

Yeah, lovely when it happens. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, I
often bellow triumphantly "POLE POSITION!" as I slide into the parking
space just outside where I want to be.

It is a bit sad, but I need a little pleasure now and then. :-)

pedestrian precinct....... aw shucks!

Yes, I spotted it too, either it was a late addition in the avid, and
someone didn't pop the film effect over the clips, or it was dropped in
shortly before it was ingested... Should've failed its tech review for
inconsistency.

Still, no-one complains when The Blue Planet's shot progressive, rather
than interlaced. And it'd just be the flick of a switch on the camera.

Personally, and I don't know why, I like that slightly 'distanced' from
reality look that interpolating two fields together gives you... I feel
a little too 'close' to the material when I see it interlaced and...
Real.

Many's the time, as I'm finishing an edit, the client will wince at the
1:1 interlaced footage I've digitised material, rather than the 4:1
single field footage I've been playing to them for the past six weeks.

It's funny. Yet, somehow I see where they're coming from.

Shields up for incoming fire. Brace brace brace.

I got around to watching the first episode of the new series of Coast
last night (recorded it the other week).

During the last minute or so, on two brief segments (when blokey
commented "and at the end of this leg of our journey, we finally some
sand!" and then "if you'd like to interact ...") we briefly had good
old smoothly moving interlaced video. The quality wasn't fantastic
(more like a good DV camcorder than a good DVD), but hey - it was so
nice to have some smooth movement.
on Torchwood!

I started a grade once and the client burst into floods of tears ! As
she sobbed uncontrollablly she protested that I had made her programme
into video and that she had promissed that her programme would be film
effected ! After a while I managed to explain that the conform had
turned her programme into video (she had been used to watching it hevily
compressed at off line quality on the Avid) and that once I finished
grading it I would film effect it. In order to calm her down I had to
get the ARC early and show her a bit filised, after that she was over
the moon and we had a good booking.....
