Oh that sounded sore :o

and bringing Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds (and the BRS to an end)...

Thank you for your company tonight, I hope you have enjoyed our foray into rock-scifi! I am now heading back to the TWS Room to continue our Star Wars vs War of the Worlds show, with the full radio dramatisation of The Return of the Jedi and then at 1230am Orson Welle's 1938 dramatisation of War of the Worlds. NN for now folks!

She has a fantastic voice, she and Phil worked well together on that song.

Julie Covington's voice.... just putting that out there...

ha ha!!

WotW :D (not even got it on cd, got it on mp3 here :o ... wonder if it ever came out on cassette :D )

(EDIT: in my defence it was 99p on Google play music back in Nov 2014 so was too good to pass up on)

Nooooooooo. I hope we will hear this fantastic voice again very soon.

Sadly no longer with the band.... :(

Indeedy Ange!

And Queen / Lizzy 😊

Will look out for that one :-)

Graeme another box set for you- the set comes complete with a couple of TV movies from the 70s with a time travel heme, PLUS a pilot for a remake of Time Tunnel that never got off the ground, but which looked bloody awesome!!!

Oooo Time Tunnel, one of my favs :-)

Bloody awesome Ange x

Nice one Ange, it is definitely superior to faceache. XX

Oooooo I is here on me phone :)

Wait til you see some of the others I have mate!

And yes Graeme, the special effects in Spielberg's version were magnificent. :)

The pictures on here are fantastic.

Well the last version was set in the USA, but at least they were tripods...

In answer to your question seriously though Graeme, there are two reasons. The first is, as everything by 50s was atomic powered in the near future (OR would be as they thought), then the studio believed that a race more advanced than us would be able to harness forces even more powerful... hence metal legs wouldn't be deemed proper lol.

BUT I also hear that when Pal wanted to try tripods, the cost was too high for the model makers...

Troo dat...

And why was it moved to America????

So why, when the book and all other adaptations I've heard/read refer to tripods, did the 1950s movie have hovering craft?

Fab pic Gary!!!

Since I've still to figure out the profile dimensions ;)
