It looks as though our members in Canada and the UK might be able to
see some of our Rita's television appearances.
For the UK, if you can receive the UK Drama channel, on cable or
satellite, you may be able to see Rita's "Bread" episodes.
UK Drama is showing an episode of the BBC series "Bread" (1986-91)
twice each weekday (Mon-Fri). Rita guest-stars in at least two
episodes from season 4 (1988), but I've only been able to narrow this
down to the range of episodes 4.07 - 4.13, which will be shown during
the week starting Thursday May 26, 2005.
The series has been released on Region 2 DVD, but these last seven
eps from season 4 were not included in the release (nor were some
from season 3).
For Canada, if you can receive the Bravo Canada channel, on cable or
satellite, you may be able to see Rita's "Seeing Things" episode.
Bravo Canada is showing an episode of the CBC series "Seeing Things"
(1981-87) twice each Tuesday. If they continue to show the episodes
in order, then Rita's episode "Seeing R.E.D." ought to be telecast on
August 2, 2005.
I'm not entirely certain that Bravo will air this episode, as it is a
90-minute special episode, and therefore is sometimes excluded from
syndication packages. But make a note on your calendar, just in case!
I have this ep on VHS, but would really like to obtain it on DVD.
If you can receive either UK Drama or Bravo Canada, PLEASE make an
effort to record these episodes in the highest-resolution format you
can! Other club members will undoubtedly be interested in getting a
copy.
I will be happy to make DVD copies of these eps for club members, for
any Region, and can convert between PAL and NTSC video formats.
Cheers,
Robert
