Quatermass Connection
Before Doctor Who:
Only the first two episodes of Nigel Kneale's seminal 6-part SF serial The Quatermass Experiment exist. Both were film-recorded during the live transmissions in July 1953, but for reasons that are not exactly clear, any plans to have the remaining four instalments recorded were abandoned.
In his account of the work that went into creating the DVD release, Steve Roberts has this to say on the Restoration Team's website:
- "For many years, there have been a number of theories put forward to try to explain why only the first two episodes of the show still exist. […] Canadian TV listings appear to indicate that the first two episodes had been scheduled for transmission in Canada, although it is unlikely that the transmissions actually took place. Records on INFAX, the BBC Archives database, indicate that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation hold copies of the first two episodes as 16mm reduction prints, adding further weight to this story."
- "The interesting question is... why was the serial was even being recorded in the first place? […] Was it being recorded for Canadian TV and did somebody call a halt after the second episode when it became clear that the technical quality had dropped sharply - and that there was a fly sitting bang in the middle of the screen for much of the episode? We will probably never know the complete answer... but all the evidence sadly seems to suggest that recording was stopped after episode two."

Little is known about the potential sale to Canada. We thought we'd investigate and see what we could find out about the series in the Canadian newspapers.
Quatermass and the Press
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) went to air for the first time on 6 September 1952. This was from the Montreal-based station CBFT (Channel 2), which broadcast a mixture of programmes in either English or French.
Two days later, on 8 September 1952, the Toronto station CBLT (Channel 9) was launched. To begin with, programming was shared between CBFT and CBLT by way of kinescope film-recordings.
A 340-mile long microwave relay system connecting these two with the newly-established station in Ottawa was completed eight months later, in May 1953.
A month later, Ottawa station CBOT (Channel 4) went to air for the first time on 2 June 1953. CBOT also offered programming in both English and French.
With all three stations linked by microwave relay, all programming was transmitted out of CBLT Toronto.
Television did not reach the western provinces until later. To find out about Quatermass in Canada, we only needed to look for listings in publications from Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, and towns within those broadcast areas.
Our first port of call was the CBC Times Eastern edition, which was published weekly in Toronto every Friday.
Each issue gave full radio and television schedules of the programmes screening the week nine days hence - and that it came out that far in advance turned out to be a key discovery.
(Although the Eastern edition doesn't have a 'published on' date on the cover or inside, the Prairie Region edition (issued in Winnipeg, Manitoba) does, so the publish-date for the Prairie editions would be the same for the Eastern edition.)
It was in the Eastern issue that was published on Friday 17 July 1953 containing the TV schedules for 26 July to 1 August that Quatermass made its first appearance… Or at least, its near-equivalent does…
On page 3, there was a small preview of the new series:
- "Space Command's" Successor
- Although the TV program Space Command made its final appearance for the summer on Friday, July 17th, the science fiction theme will be continued, according to CBLT chief producer Mavor Moore. A special film feature dealing with space science has been selected for telecasting at the same time (Friday, 7.30 p.m.). It's a new science-fiction program entitled The Quartermass Experiment [sic].
- The new programme was originally produced and telecast by the television service of the BBC. Briefly, the story concerns an attempt to send a manned rocket beyond the atmosphere of the earth.
This was followed by a short two-paragraph plot summary. Of note, the preview refers to the title and lead character as "QuaRtermass". And this spelling oddity occurs several times over in the coming weeks, as we shall see. (It also made OCR searches very easy!) Also of interest is the statement that the new program "was originally produced and telecast" by the BBC - when in fact, by the time the magazine was published no episodes of the serial had even aired in the UK!
The Times TV schedules appear over several pages, one for each day, and each page has three sets of listings, one for each station. In the 17 July Times under Friday, July 31 is:
- 7.30--Quartermass Experiment--BBC
- A program by Nigel Kneale dealing with space-travel
- 7.30--Quartermass Experiment--BBC
- (English) Direct from Toronto
- 7.30--Quartermass Experiment--BBC
- Direct from Toronto
Again, the title of the serial is incorrectly printed as "Quartermass". The Direct from Toronto caption indicates that microwave feed was coming out of that city. And the inclusion of the (English) note under CBFT was because some programming on that station was also noted as being in (French).
For the francophone population of Quebec and other French-speaking parts of eastern Canada, an alternative, slightly smaller radio and television listings magazine, La Semaine à Radio-Canada, was published on a weekly basis in French.
Similar in format to the CBC Times, it was published independently out of Montreal and its main focus was to highlight the French programming on Radio-Canada, the French language arm of the CBC.
Since both radio and television stations in this market carried programming in French and to a lesser extent in English, La Semaine offered articles related to both. For example, a weekly column titled "Domaine Anglais" appeared for the radio, and English television programming notes (which incorporated either full or edited translations of some of the CBC Times articles/information) appeared as part of other articles that dealt with television programming.
The 17 July 1953 issue of La Semaine (also with the TV schedules for 26 July to 1 August) duplicates the 31 July programme billing that was in the Times, even so far as including the additional letter "R" in the series' title.
- 7.30--The Quartermass Experiment
The fact that Quatermass is listed in both publications that were prepared before and issued on 17 July is very important - if only for the fact that the scheduling of the first episode of the serial was done in early July BEFORE any episodes had been broadcast in the UK.
This answers the question posed by Steve Roberts earlier as to why the serial had been recorded in the first place: it does appear that it was because of the sale to Canada … Unless the CBC took advantage of the programme being recorded for other reasons...
The serial had been green-lit by the BBC by May 1953. Originally, director Rudolph Cartier had planned to film-record the serial in its entirety for a possible repeat, but at that time Actors' Equity did not allow the recording of live performances; any 'repeats' had to be performed again.
As a compromise, Cartier instead planned to record short sections of each live performance to create a "Previously on Quatermass" recap montage to play at the start of parts two to six.
But this notion was also rejected by the BBC's Programme Organiser, Joanna Spicer, who informed Cartier in a memo dated 16 June 1953 that:
- We have no agreement with Equity for the repeat in recorded form of performances by Equity artists and we are therefore precluded from telerecording from any live performances by actors for subsequent use, even in the form of a trailer to another live performance by the same actors.
But later an agreement was reached that allowed for the film-recording of short sequences during the transmission for the purpose of recaps. However, since two episodes were fully tele-recorded four weeks later, something else had to have happened to change that directive…
The first 'media release' about the forthcoming serial concerning "an experiment in space travel" had been issued on 17 June. It's very possible that the BBC's Canadian overseas representative, T J H Sloan, who was based in Toronto, received this, and events were set in motion to have the broadcast recorded for the CBC.
As noted above, Ottawa's station CBOT had recently launched (on 2 June), bringing TV to a third of the population, so the newly-networked CBC would have been on the look-out for fresh drama beyond all the locally-made or US fare that was being shown.
Since the serial was broadcast live, the BBC would not have been able to supply the CBC with any completed footage to audition. It's therefore likely that the pre-sale of the programme sight-unseen was done merely by giving them copies of the available scripts, and an agreement to purchase could be made on that alone.
According to the Viewing Notes that came with the 2005 DVD release, Nigel Kneale had written only the first four scripts by the time the first went before the cameras, and none of the cast and crew knew how the story ended. The CBC wouldn't have known either. So it was very much a purchase on trust.
Whatever the mechanism by which the offer and sale was made, by the time the CBC purchase was signed off, some of the location pre-filming had been completed. It's entirely possible that a representative from the CBC was present during filming and rehearsals, that latter which took place from Monday, 13 July, and the sale was ultimately finalised based on what he saw.
Since his name is mentioned in the preview in the CBC Times of 17 July, it's possible that CBLT's "chief producer Mavor Moore" had a hand in making this decision.
The CBC now had a brand new serial to screen to its growing TV audience. All that was needed was to find a suitable day and timeslot. And that timeslot was …
Since 13 March 1953, the Friday 7.30pm slot had been occupied by the Toronto-produced SF drama "Space Command", and this was due to conclude its current run on 17 July. This slot was ideal for the new series, as it would appeal to the same audience.
The CBC selected Friday, 31 July as the start date for Quatermass as this would give them two full weeks after the opening UK broadcast to receive and prepare the film-recording (also known as a kinescope) for transmission.
With "Space Command" ending when it did for a natural break in production (it was broadcast live), something else was needed to fill the 24 July slot.
The CBC Times has a billing for "Tales of Adventure" on that date. However, since this 26-episode series had concluded in March 1953, and was itself replaced by "Space Command", this must be an error.
(As we reveal below, the newspapers all listed something else for that date.)
With Quatermass scheduled to occupy the Friday 7.30pm slot for the next six weeks, the CBC Times duly came out on 17 July, with The Quartermass Experiment [sic] listed for the first time, and with the short preview article cited above…
The next two weekly editions of the CBC Times have Quartermass [sic] listed on Friday. (For simplicity we will stick to calling the series by its correct title from now on). But in the issue that was published on 7 August (for programmes on 16-22 August), the series was absent from the line-up, with the Times merely putting a "To Be Announced" notice in the 7.30 listing for all three stations:
|Date Published
|TV Dates Covered
|17 July 1953
|26 July to 1 August
|31 July
|24 July 1953
|2 to 8 August
|7 August
|31 July 1953
|9 to 15 August
|14 August
|7 August 1953
|16 to 22 August
|21 August
|To Be Announced
Like the Times, La Semaine continued to include Quatermass listings for the next two issues. But unlike the Times, it still had the BBC serial in its schedule for 21 August (see clipping).
For the listings on 7, 14 and 21 August, La Semaine had the addition of a brief blurb:
- Nouvelle série de récits d'anticipation. Les aventures de savants perdus dans l'espace interplanétaire. Réalisation de la BBC.
- New series of stories of excitement. Adventures of scientists lost in interplanetary space. Made by the BBC.
And on page 7 of the 24 July issue of La Semaine (the issue covering 2-8 August) appears a slightly re-written French version of the introductory feature that had appeared in the 17 July edition of the CBC Times; this is our translation:
- CBFT Schedule Changes
- Space Command has left the CBFT schedule, but this programme has just been replaced by another series just as captivating, The Quartermass Experiment [sic], where the theme is also that of anticipation.
- These "futuristic" adventures, which we return to every Friday, from 7:30 to 8 pm, were made in London by the television service of the B.B.C., and are retransmitted by kinescope.
- In short, the plot tells the attempt made by Professor Bernard Quartermass [sic], the head of a group of British scientists, to explore (involuntarily) interplanetary space. The original goal of the expedition was to reach a certain altitude to observe Earth, but the rocket carrying the voyagers suddenly escapes the gravitational pull of the planet and gets lost in space . . .
- This is where the real "thrills" start. . .
All issues of the Times and Semaine published after 7 August (i.e. TV for the weeks after 23 August) no longer have Quatermass listed, and in the 7.30pm Friday slot is "Dusty Bates", and this continues to be so for the next few weeks after that. (It's possible that the CBC had this 4-part cliffhanger serial from 1947 lined up to screen in this slot once Quatermass had concluded on 5 September, but brought it forward to fill the sudden void.)
What this tells us is that by the time the first episode was due to air in Canada on 31 July, three issues of the Times and La Semaine had already been published, up to and including what would have been part three on 14 August.
That's the CBC Times and La Semaine covered. What about the regional newspapers? The following are the papers we were able to access either online or in print:
- TORONTO: The Toronto Daily Star and Toronto Globe and Mail had listings for the CBC Ontario station CBLT Channel 9
- OTTAWA: The Ottawa Journal and Ottawa Citizen had listings for CBC Ontario station CBOT Channel 4
- MONTREAL: The Montreal Gazette; Sherbrooke Daily Record; Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph; La Revue de Granby; La Tribune; and Le Devoir all had listings for CBC Quebec station CBFT Channel 2
Newspapers only needed to prepare their TV listings page a day or so in advance of printing and publication, but it's evident that some just referred to the nine-day old issues they had of CBC Times or La Semaine than getting updates directly from the CBC itself, hence a few errors begin to creep in, especially in the French-language papers, which would have had copies of La Semaine for reference.
In all cases here, the series they have down for the Friday 7.30pm slot for 17 July was the final episode of "Space Command".
As noted above, although the CBC Times had "Tales of Adventure" for 24 July, all the newspapers we looked at had something else listed: this was usually coverage of the Ascot Gold Cup Race. (This would have been 16mm footage recorded during the live broadcast in the UK on 18 June 1953, then shipped over to Canada for transmission a month later.)
All the Ottawa and Toronto papers have this listed, but for some odd reason, La Semaine still has "Space Command", which is clearly a mistake; this error has then been copied by all the other Quebec-based French papers, as they also have "Space Command" down for 24 July.
For 31 July 1953, all bar two of the above papers carried a listing for the BBC serial: in most cases, it's printed as the incorrect "The Quartermass Experiment":
Only the Toronto Globe and Mail had any form of plot description with its 31 July listing, and with the correct spelling of the name!:
- Quatermass Experiment: Six part space travel series produced by BBC. Written by Nigel Kneal [sic] and produced by Rudolph Cartier. "The Quatermass Experiment" is, briefly, the story of an attempt to send a manned rocket beyond the atmosphere of the earth, and what transpires when a technical fault develops in outer space.
The two exceptions to this were the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph and the Ottawa Journal. The former still had "Space Command", but since that series ended two weeks previously, this must be a 'cut and paste' error. The latter had "Ascot Gold Cup Race" listed again, but since that was on the previous week, it must also be a 'cut and paste' error.
However, since the Journal correctly had "Royal River Pageant" listed for 7 August, whereas most of the other papers didn't, it is possible that the Ascot Races was repeated on 31 July as the replacement programme, and as the Journal was an evening paper it was probably able to get more up to date listings from the CBC before going to print.
Quatermass To Canada
As we've discovered, this was a pre-sale to Canada made at some point in late June / early July, before the serial had even been made. With the deal signed off, the BBC was able to have the serial recorded onto film during the live performances.
The first episode, "Contact Has Been Established", went out live on the BBC on Saturday, 18 July 1953, at 8.15pm from the studios at Alexandra Palace. The BBC film-recorded the live output onto 35mm film, using two Mechau film recorders; since each could only hold a magazine of around nine minutes, the second machine was activated as the first ran out of film; the first was reloaded, and when machine #2 ran out of film, the first was started again. The three sections of film were later spliced together.
The edited 35mm film was copied onto a single reel of 16mm film and dispatched to the CBC very soon after transmission. The CBC probably had an 'out clause' that enabled them to cancel the purchase after assessing the film recording. Clearly they were happy with the print they got. Presumably the arrangement was that each episode would then be sent to them straight after each UK transmission.
On Friday 24 July, this being the week during which the CBC received the film of part one, the issue of the CBC Times carrying listings for 2-8 August was published. Although it did not carry an 'episode number', this was for episode two of The Quatermass Experiment, due to air in the UK the following day. So far, for all concerned, it was 'business as usual'…
The second episode - "Persons Reported Missing" - went out live on Saturday, 25 July 1953, at 8.25pm. As before, the Mechau machines recorded the live output onto 35mm film … however half way through the transmission, a tiny winged insect landed on the TV monitor, and proceeded to wander across the screen!
As before, the film-recording was processed, edited and duplicated for the CBC. However, there was another problem, as Steve Roberts explains:
- "Episode two's recording is of a lower quality than episode one and there are some nasty technical problems on display. At one point the image collapses vertically, before bouncing back, turning negative, then positive again - but only in the top half of the screen - before finally settling down. For most of the second half, an insect can be seen sitting on the film recorder monitor, its image indelibly burnt into the film recording. At several points in the recording the picture is affected by severe amounts of random impulse noise, probably caused by a bad connection or a noisy thermionic valve in the video amplifier."
All these technical issues meant that the film print of part two was substandard.
Since the CBC had a 16mm print of it (as Steve noted earlier), the second instalment had been duly dispatched to the broadcaster, and it arrived at their offices a few days or so prior to 31 July, the date which we now know had already been scheduled two weeks earlier.
But bear in mind that in 1953, watching television was a fairly new experience for most Canadians (the CBC's television service was only a year old by this time), and the average viewer probably wouldn't have noticed or even been aware of these technical failings being shown on their small low resolution black and white screens - even the insect appears only as a small dark blob, and is really only noticeable when it's sitting over a light background.
But it would now seem clear that the imperfections in the print were the main contributing factor for them to cancel the broadcast of part one on 31 July (a day or so hence) and to instruct the BBC not to film-record the third instalment which was going out that Saturday.
There may have also been an issue with the running time: the finished episode was 34'50", nearly five minutes longer than the allocated half hour. (Part one was nearly two minutes over length at 31'57'.) This meant either editing it down by five minutes (or more, if extra time was also required for advertising?), or letting the rest of the evening's programmes run behind schedule.
A combination of a poor quality image, an inconvenient insect and vastly over-length running times may all have contributed to the CBC's decision to cancel the broadcasts.
The BBC could very well have continued film-recording the rest of the series, still with a repeat screening in mind, or offering it to another purchaser (not that they had many potential buyers - of the very few other countries that had a television service by 1953, only the United States spoke English), but it's clear that this did not happen, and only the first two episodes were preserved on film. The other four went out live over the next four weeks (without any filmed recaps), never to be seen again.
The Quite A Mess Text Error Print
With Quatermass gone, something else needed to be screened at 7.30pm… Back to the newspapers, since that's not quite the end of the tale…
What was shown on the CBC in place of part one, we do not know, since all the papers for 31 July have The Quatermass/Quartermass Experiment listed. The identity of the last minute replacement is lost to history. (Presumably there was an on-screen announcement advising there was a change to the advertised programme.)
None of the papers after 31 July - not even the CBC Times - made any mention of the serial not screening, or why it wasn't on the subsequent weeks.
The following week, 7 August, most of the Ottawa and Toronto papers have the Royal River Pageant listed; this was broadcast on the BBC on 22 July 1953. The Ottawa Citizen has "To Be Announced" for this (per the CBC Times) but also for the next two weeks.
But the confusion was just beginning to set in …
Bizarrely, with the exception of Montreal Gazette (which has the Royal River Pageant) all the Quebec-based regional newspapers that carried listings for CBFT still had The Quatermass Experiment listed.
We suspect that they were still copying what was printed in the now incorrect La Semaine for 2-8 August that had been published a week earlier, when Quatermass was still in the schedules, rather than getting updated directly from the CBC, as the Gazette would probably have been.
The next week, 14 August, most papers reported that the Friday 7.30pm slot was taken by "Dusty Bates" - except for the Ottawa Citizen which still had "To Be Announced", and the Quebec regionals which were still referring to the increasingly-inaccurate issues of the CBC Times and/or La Semaine and still had Quatermass.
For 21 August, the papers hadn't quite grasped that Quatermass was no longer in the schedules and had been replaced, as some still say "To Be Announced", and all the Quebec ones still put Quatermass. The others we looked at all correctly have "Dusty Bates".
But by 28 August, all confusion had begun to die down, and all the papers we referred to finally had "Dusty Bates" in the Friday 7.30pm slot - as it was in the CBC Times. (This was episode 3 of the 4-part serial).
This table shows what the schedules would have been like had all six parts of the BBC serial been recorded and aired, against what was shown instead:
|Planned Programme
|Actual Programme
|17 July 1953
|Space Command (final)
|Space Command (final)
|24 July 1953
|Ascot Gold Cup race
|Ascot Gold Cup race
|31 July 1953
|Quatermass Part 1
|Unknown Replacement #
|7 August 1953
|Quatermass Part 2
|Royal River Pageant
|14 August 1953
|Quatermass Part 3
|Dusty Bates (part 1)
|21 August 1953
|Quatermass Part 4
|Dusty Bates (part 2)
|28 August 1953
|Quatermass Part 5
|Dusty Bates (part 3)
|4 September 1953
|Quatermass Part 6
|Dusty Bates (part 4)
(#) The replacement might have been a repeat of the previous week's Ascot Gold Cup Race.
The CBC Times, La Semaine and the newspapers did not carry anything to explain why Quatermass did not screen.
But presumably there were also voiceover announcements on the evenings of 31 July, 7, 14 and 21 August to say there was a change to the advertised programme.
If we had undertaken this research by looking at just the CBC Times, or only La Semaine, or from accessing the regional papers and no others, given all the inconsistent listings before, during and after July 1953, we doubt we'd have been able to make any sense of this at all.
But generally, what was printed in the CBC Times was copied by La Semaine, and both were in turn copied by the regional papers, while the more major papers were able to publish corrected schedules on the day.
Quatermass - Our Conclusion
It's pretty clear - at least it is to us! - that the two existing episodes of The Quatermass Experiment had been film-recorded specifically for the sale to Canada.
And that the reason the other four episodes were not recorded is because the film print of part two was substandard, and the sale was thus cancelled.
The decision to pull the series from the CBC schedules was very last minute. In fact, it's still not clear who made the decision and at what level - was it the CBC when they viewed the film print of part two, or was it the BBC, aware that they'd sent a dodgy print to a customer?
And how many days ahead of the planned 31 July broadcast it was we will never know. It may have even been that very afternoon! All it would have taken to put a halt to the recording of part three on 1 August was a quick telex, cable, telegram or (then very expensive) phone call to the BBC (Ontario is five hours behind London) to say "don't bother".
The CBC retained the two 16mm prints (per the INFAX record, as noted by Steve Roberts), while the BBC film library held onto the original 35mm optical negative film-recordings plus a separate magnetic soundtrack for part two.
The following is a likely timeline placing all the events commented on above into chronological order:
- May 1953: The QUATERMASS project is green-lit, and Nigel Kneale starts writing the scripts
- June 1953: Plans to film-record the serial is hindered by Equity rules, but this is later resolved
- June/July: At some point between 16 June and 17 July, the CBC is offered and purchases QUATERMASS
- June-July 1953: Pre-filming and rehearsals commence
- 17 July: The CBC Times and La Semaine with listings for 26 July to 1 August are published; QUATERMASS (1) is on Friday at 7.30pm
- 18 July: QUATERMASS (1) airs in the UK
- The film print for part 1 arrives in Canada the following week
- 24 July: The CBC Times for 2 to 8 August published; QUATERMASS (2) is listed
- 25 July: QUATERMASS (2) airs in the UK (there are tech problems plus a wandering bug)
- The film print for part 2 arrives in Canada the following week (prior to 31 July)
- The decision not to proceed with the broadcast of part one and acquisition of the other four must have been made soon after, but too late to amend the CBC Times issue out that day (for the week 9-15 August) or to advise the newspapers coming out on 31 July
- The BBC is instructed not to bother film-recording part 3 that was going out that weekend...
- 31 July: The CBC Times for 9 to 15 August is published; QUATERMASS (3) is listed; all the newspapers published that same day list QUATERMASS at 7.30pm, however the serial does not air - an unknown replacement screens instead…
- 1 August: QUATERMASS (3) airs in the UK - but it is not film-recorded...
- 7 August: The CBC Times for 16 to 22 August is published; QUATERMASS is no longer listed - the 7.30pm slot says "To Be Announced"; the Quebec newspapers still go out this day with QUATERMASS in the 7.30pm slot
- 14 August: The CBC Times for 23 to 29 August is published; Dusty Bates is now listed for Friday 7.30pm, however all the Quebec newspapers go out this day with QUATERMASS in the 7.30pm slot
- 21 August: The CBC Times for 30 August to 5 September is published; Dusty Bates is listed for Friday 7.30pm, and all newspapers subsequently publish the correct schedule
Quatermass in Canada - Eventually!
Although the two sequels - Quatermass II (22 October to 26 November 1955) and Quatermass and the Pit (22 December 1958 to 26 January 1959) - were fully film-recorded by the BBC so they could be repeated, they were not sold to CBC or any other foreign broadcaster. It's not clear why that was the case, since they are both stand-alone dramas, and can be enjoyed without needing to see the "lost" first serial.
The three Hammer Films adaptations did, however, make their way to Canadian cinemas and drive-ins, usually as a double-bill with another feature: the first film, retitled "The Creeping Unknown" for North American markets, was seen across the country from July 1956; the second film - under the new title "Enemy from Space" - was released from October 1957; while the third - as "Five Million Years to Earth" - was shown from February 1968. All three films played in regional theatres as a 'filler' in later years.
These are just a small sample of the many movie billings that appeared in the Canadian press:
The Hammer films later made their way to Canadian television (or seen on US stations that could be accessed in Canada), with the first two screening on various channels in 1960 and 1962, and the third from 1972. All three aired many times by numerous stations around the country over the ensuing decades.
The three script books published by Penguin were also released in Canada in 1960. They retailed for 50c each. (Reviews for them appeared in Canadian newspapers during the latter half of the year; see Robertson Davies's above.) None of the published reviews makes any mention of the serials having not been shown on Canadian television, nor of the cinematic adaptations.
The 1979 Arrow Books edition of Nigel Kneale's novelisation of his 4-part Thames TV production, Quatermass, and Arrow's revised reprints of the Penguin script books all have a Canadian $3.50 price on the back cover.
The 4-part Thames serial was later cut-down into a 100-minute movie under the title The Quatermass Conclusion, and it was this version that was first screened by TVOntario on 28 February 1984, and repeated on 19 September 1985.
Quatermass in Doctor Who
- Many of the actors in The Quatermass Experiment (and the other serials and movies) guested in Doctor Who, too many to list them all here, but the first actor to go on to appear in Doctor Who was Keith Pyott, a Cabinet Minister in part 6, who 11 years later played Autloc in The Aztecs.
- But the first person seen on screen in Part 1 with a speaking part to later be in Doctor Who is Moray Watson, playing Control Engineer Marsh, who appeared as Sir Robert Muir in 1982's Black Orchid.
- The stage manager for parts 1-5 was Paddy Russell, later to direct The Massacre, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Pyramids of Mars and Horror of Fang Rock. In an uncredited capacity, she appeared on camera in crowd scenes for parts 1 and 2.
- The lighting engineer was Michael Leeston-Smith, who later directed The Myth Makers.
- Many of the Earth-based serials from the 1960s, plus the first full Jon Pertwee season (1970), owe much to the look and style of the Quatermass serials.
- In Remembrance of the Daleks, Rachel Jansen and Allison Williams refer to "Bernard" and "the British Rocket Group".
- The 2005 live adaptation of "The Quatermass Experiment" featured David Tennant, who was cast as the Doctor during pre-production, and a line of dialogue was changed to "Good to have you back, doctor" as an in-joke.
- A logo for the British Rocket Group - which launched the Guinevere One space probe - is visible on the base wall in 'The Christmas Invasion' (2005), David Tennant's first story as the Doctor - which can't be a coincidence!
- In 'Planet of the Dead' (2009), UNIT's scientific-adviser Malcolm Taylor has invented a unit of measurement called a "Bernard", which he tells the Doctor is named after "Quatermass".

I am really curious about the capabilities of warhorses that the military used before the combustion vehicle came and mostly replaced them on modern battlefield. I had read a bit about warhorse, but many of those article didn't really explain the horse's capabilities. To put it simply:
- What is the most powerful warhorse breed in history?
- What is the fastest warhorse / messenger horse in history?
As the other had pointed out, I more interested at time where heavy cavalry is the main battle tank of medieval warfare. Maybe 14-15th century? When Cavalry was a heavy factor for the army.
By "most powerful" and "fastest," I mean more specifically:
- How far can they march in one day at war and at peace (if there is difference in marching speed)?
- What is their usual (or maximum) 'operational range'?
- For a charging warhorse, what is their maximum/heaviest rider carrying capacity?
- Also, how long can they hold their full charging speed?

This is a gorgeous, NATURAL piece of Ametrine. Natural Ametrine comes along rarely ~ there are plenty of heat treated pieces out there, but they don't carry the same, crisp, fresh energy of the natural blend of Citrine & Amethyst. It is an expensive crystal in it's natural form given it's rarity. These pieces are clear, have great colour and simply sing with great energy, they are very high grade! A potent crystal that alongside Peridot, is one of the best in the mineral kingdom for dealing with fear. The photos don't show the true colours as Ametrine is very subtle.
This stone is a mix of energising citrine & calming amethyst, which may help maintain optimum health. It is useful in chronic illness as it brings insight into the subtle cause of disease. It brings peace and tranquillity, is good for inspiration, creativity & change. Helps with tension, removes physical mental & emotional spiritual blockages, overcomes prejudice, ignorance & obstructiveness. Repairs damage to DNA. Good for Yin/Yang balance and the aura.
You will receive the crystal in the photograph. Approx 4.6cm (46mm) long x 2.3cm (23mm) wide.

My daughters have been excited for months to get this new Babymouse book. The only downside to its arrival was discovering is that it's actually the beginning to a whole new crossover early chapter book style Babymouse and not a full graphic novel. It has occasional graphic novel style sections but is primarily words. One of my daughters was fine with the change. The other was heartbroken since she loves the original 20 books (and has read them all too many times to have kept track).

When choosing a dealer to buy your school lockers, it is important to find someone that offers a great selection all year round.

Sometimes the term "bay" is used instead of "bank", although "bank" appears to be the more standard term; on other occasions, "bay" refers to a single locker width within a bank, including all tiers of locker directly on top of each other.

DVX100 -- various topics
Today was the first time I was playing around with the focus switch. Switching it from auto to manual and the auto push button. However, my question is. When I switch it down to the infinity. The switch doesn't lock. It doesn't stay down in the infinity position. Is this normal? Is there a setting somewhere?
Yes, it's normal. The infinity focus is locked but the switch position isn't.
Hoya Polariser - Magenta Cast
I just bought a PAL DVX100 and a Hoya Circular Polariser. I white balance with the polariser on and shots which exclude the sky are nicely contrasted and saturated. But include a portion of the sky and I get a very nasty magenta tint across both clouds and sky - particularly on the horizon and to such an extent that the shots are unusable. This happens both in the F3 Spark setting and the F6 25p Cine mode.
Now I have used Hoya polarisers on my Hassleblad and on my Sony digital stills camera and get perfect blue skies and white clouds - as one would expect. So is there something about the Panasonic that doesn't like polarisers? Or is there some tweak I should try in the scene files. I do remember some discussion about whether a circular polariser was necessary for the camera but even if a linear polariser is alright it surely should affect the colour balance?
Do I have a bum filter or has anyone else experienced anything like this?
There was a "pink fringe" issue that was discussed when the camera first cam out that turned out to be overexposed highlights when using the cine-gamma mode. Cine-gamma, unlike most gamma curves in DV cams, has flat response, so if you blow out a highlight, even just a little, it's totally overexpose and the cine-gamma processing seems to create pink/magenta. More info on the issue in NTSC cams (I assume PAL cams would behave somewhat similarly) at www.adamwilt.com
Diagonal black/white lines on my LCD/viewfinder display?
When I'm looking through the viewfinder or at the LCD, sometimes on certain light it will display black and white diagonal display lines in certain light/shadows.. Has anybody seen this before? It doesn't come out on the taped footage, only see it on the LCD or the viewfinder.. Did I toggle something that makes it display like this? Anybody familiar with this, or have I lost my mind? =] Thanks in advance for any help.
- Brian
Yeah, i'm pretty sure you turned on the zebra patterns. What the zebra patterns do is help you judge the exposure, they show you the overexposed areas and stuff. Look it up on google.
Audio Problems w/the DVX-100 and other issues
Hey. This camera is at the top of my short list for now, but I had questions.
I heard there is an audio drift problem, where the audio isn't in sync with the video. It's off by 2 frames or so.
Is this true?
I currenlty own Final Cut Pro 3, is it easy to fix in post or a pain?
I heard FCP 4, has a built in fix for this problem? Does that make it so when you import footage, it fixes the audio drift? Thus fixing the problem?
Any other issues that this camera has that should be know before purchasing?
Do you feel another camera gets the audio in sync without any work?
Thanks for your time.
The DVX audio is 2 frames ahead of the picture in the progressive modes, and while it's a minor annoyance, it's easily fixable in FCP 3 (by manually slipping the sync of your clips) and even more easily in FCP 4, which includes a plug-in script to automatically sync adjust the DVX clips (not sure if it does it upon capture or not, but I know you don't have to adjust the clips one by one; you can do them all at once. I've got the FCP 4 upgrade but haven't installed yet, so I can't be more specific.)
Honestly, don't let the sync issue turn you away from this great camera, which offers the most options and best performance, IMHO, of any camera in its price range. For example, it's got the best focusing mechanism of any camera with a non-interchangeable lens (very easy to finesse, very easy to do repeatable focus pulls, doesn't take a lot of turning to change focus, unlike on the various Sony mini-dv cams), and it has a true manual zoom (switchable to servo zoom, like a pro lens), which allows for crash zooms when needed.
And of course, the 24p and 24PA modes, which alone are worth the price of purchase. I can't say enough good things about this camera. The few minor annoyances (e.g., no auto-focus or gain up in progressive modes) aren't a big deal, since no other camera save for Panasonic and Sony high-end SD and HD cams offer 24p shooting, and at 60i, the camera does everything it's counterparts from Sony and Canon do. So you're not really missing out on any feature, and you'll have the advantage of 24p and 30p when needed.
Check out Adam Wilt's DVX page for more detailed info on the DVX and the DVX sync issue:
And also see Apple's FCP 4 late-breaking news page (I've include the relevant info below):
Audio Sync Tool for the Panasonic DVX-100
To address the way the Panasonic DVX-100 handles audio/video sync, the DVX-100 Audio Sync Tool plug-in is available in the DV Camera Tuner Scripts folder on the Final Cut Pro 4 installation DVD. If you're working with clips captured from the Panasonic DVX-100, you should move this plug-in to the following location:
Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins
When the DVX-100 Audio Sync Tool plug-in is installed, a new menu item appears in the Tools menu, Offset Audio Sync.
To use the Offset Audio Sync tool:
1. In the Browser, select any clips you captured that were recorded with the DVX-100.
2. Choose Tools>Offset Audio Sync. The audio of all selected clips will be offset 2 frames later than the video to adjust their sync.
Note: Adjustments made to clips using the Offset Audio Sync command are only saved in the Final Cut Pro project file where the adjustment was made. The corresponding source media on disk is unaffected.
Century Optics Anamorphic Adaptor delayed
I just spoke to Century Optics on behalf of this forum about the situation with the anamorphic adaptor and asked for an offical statement.
Basically, the first adaptor (3 element design) has been pulled due to vingetting and barrel distortion issues. They have gone back to the drawing board and are working on a design.
The earliest any new information will emerge is 4 months and no model will be ready for sale in 6 months, so 2004 looks like a good bet.
Zotz Digital can get the Panasonic for $675 for DV Info members, so I think I will swallow the telephoto focus and barrel issues and get one.
Any word on a Century Optics matte box that can accomodate the Panasonic 16:9?
stephen van vuuren are you the same...
are you the same stephen van vuuren who was quoted in a DV magazine lighting video ad?
Century Optics cine-style manual focus
Century Optics has a new repeatable follow focus attachment on their website. Part number is VS-MFSY-DVX. It's too new to be in stock anywhere.
Has anyone heard about this product?
Printing to DV tape problem. Never seen this before!
While trying to print a rendered video with Premiere AND Vegas, I get the same thing happening.
I have a Panasonic DVX100. First time Printing to it! Before I used Hi8 and everything worked just fine. But this is strange and I'm wondering if it has to do with the 24p.
When print to the DVX100 the video recorded for about 7 seconds, then it goes to a blue screen for a few seconds, then back to the video again for a while and then repeat. Never had this problem before. Anyone know what's going on?
I'm about to Print to my TRV830 if this can't be resolved.
Yes, from about 4 years ago. John Jackman lives just a few minutes away from me and showed me an early copy of the video after I had lunch with him one day.
Are you recording 24p to the camera? I can imagine you must
get it back to 30p before going into the camera (the other way
around then the camera does itself)
zoom ring scratchy noise
this thread from the 2pop forum, anyone else having the same characteristics from their cam? I'm not sure if it's a problem or just a design flaw.
http://www.2-pop.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=PanasonicAGDVX100Camera&Number=613378&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart= 1
mine doesnt do it AS bad, but since there is pressure to be done to move the zoom ring manually, it does indeed make a resistance sound sorta like that.
my focus ring is making a grinding sliding noise aswell :(
Ok to play back 2 year old tapes on dvx100?
Hello everyone,
I just got the dvx100 and have been taking extremely good care of it. It has less than 3mins of head use:)
Anyways, I had some old SONY minidv tapes (Sony DVM60) that I had shot a while back on the Sony TRV900 camera and I was wondering if you all thought it would be okay to playback them on the dvx100? I ask this because they have been locked up in a rubbermaid case for over two years, including one which I left without its own plastic case. I'm concerned about getting the heads on the dvx100 dirty from these tapes...
Does anyone have any safety tips for playback? I know the camera's manual says I should always rewind old tapes to its start to prevent seeing tape slack. It says I even should FF and RW the entire tape before playing. Does anyone have any other tips?
What about the head cleaner? When should I use that? After I playback the Sony tapes?
Thanks for any tips!
It should be okay to play back 2-year-old tapes. If you've used a brand other than Sony in your Panasonic, run the cleaning tape first. After you've finished, clean your heads again---that is if you are using different tape brands/types.
How to setup optional lcd hood?
Okay, today I just realized how dumb I am. I bought a Panasonic LCD hood for the dvx100 and now I can't figure out how to assemble it for use on the camera!!
Here's a link to what I am talking about: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh3/con...&Q=&sku=276813
Does anyone here have this product and can you tell me how to put that black plastic hood onto the other nylong square thingy?? Did yours come with instructions?
Damn, I knew I should've taken some engineering classes.....
It's not too hard... the nylon square thingy is actually a complete product in and of its own right: a Petrol lens hood. The plastic thing is there primarily to display the Panasonic logo, but also I guess helps shield a bit more light.
The hood goes together on its own, using the snap-buckles to make a square. Then the plastic hood slides in, you'll see that there's velcro on the inside edges of it. It goes on the top, of course, and the two flaps fold over onto the sides.
25p for DVD
I don't have a progressive scan DVD player, or TV, but my 25p DVD definitely looks better on my TV screen than a 50i version. (The 25p was using the standard F5 settings, 50i using F1). Is it just the cine gamma, or am I getting a pseudo progressive display, i.e. less artefacts because each 2 successive 50i fields are from an identical image? So should I always use 25p for DVD, if I can? What would be the advantage of actually having a progressive scan DVD and TV display?
Flicker Shooting Monitors With DVX100?
Does anybody have any experience shooting TV or computer screens with the DVX100? I notice that the Canon XL1s has a "Clear Scan" feature adjustment that allows you to fine tune the camera to eliminate flicker when shooting a monitor. Thanks for your responses.
So does the DVX100. You can set the shutter speed in minute increments so you dial out the flicker completely.
You are probably noticing a motion signature change in your
footage. I prefer 25p, but that is a personal thing.
If you want to buy a dvx100, consider this.
I'm tossing these thoughts on this forum for the benefit of anybody who's on the fence regarding this cam.
After 5 days of vigilant testing and shooting I'm very happy with this cam... actually the more I use it the better I think it is on value. If you read the letters section in the August edition of DV Adam Wilt responds to a letter from a man who feels the DVX is overpriced and not much better then a pd150 or gl2. Adam offers a compelling reason why the DVX is so desireable/beneficial vs. the other cams. What Adam says basically mimics what I said in another thread.
That's why I started this thread. This is a great camera but if you're considering one you need to realize something in advance, because if you ignore this point you will be dissappointed with the DVX.
I'd said, "To get a DVX and not immediately delve into the manual settings would be rediculous."
This point is VERY important regarding this cam. The capabilities of the DVX are superior to other cams as long as you use the manual settings. If you don't use the manual settings AND pay attention to lighting then this cam just isn't worth it.
It's a catch 22. I used to shoot photography with a manual SLR and I always had people that wanted to take pictures with my camera because it looked very pro... autowinder, long lenses, ETL flashes, etc. and I was the kind of guy who would let family or friends borrow my SLR. (I'm not very materialistic.) Anyway, NOBODY was EVER happy with the pictures they got from it! Sometimes they couldn't get the focus right at the right moment, sometimes they had the aperature wrong, and most of the time they had no consideration for the actual shooting conditions... and filters? Forget about it.
These same people have framed enlargements of photos I took with that same SLR.
The crucial difference between me and them is that I took the camera and the job of shooting seriously. I realized that to get the best pics out of the cam that I needed to set it up right and according to the situation.
The DVX is JUST like that. If you learn the camera, set it up properly, and light your shoots properly (which may be as easy as a reflector) then the DVX can blow you away. If you take any of that for granted you will most likely NOT be very impressed.
So just as an FYI if you want this camera because of what you've heard about it you'd better be ready to take your shooting seriously. The up side to this is the same thing that's great about our competition and that is this: No matter how good cameras are now or how good they become, most people will not produce impressive video because they won't bother with the things that professionals know they MUST do to get the best from their equipment.
absolutely agree 1000% with EVERYTHING here....
you know sometimes i read afew posts ahere and there and coming form a strong online background re: music production the story holds true with MANY people...
that story being that people want the camera to do the work for them.
in teh case of the DVX, its the other way around. Sure it can do easy run and gun shots without any problems, but the MAGIC of this beast comes thru when u switch it over to Prgressive mode...
At first it feels like yoru driving without hanging onto the steering wheel. After a while thou, you will KNOW exactly what needs to be done to get the right effect.
With clever usage, and aot of practive, this cam is literally 6 cameras in 1.
Those scene files are a force to be reckoned with, and the fact that THEY DO INDEED change the whole flavour of the image. I mean ive seen some people try to match footage taken from other cams with the DVX, and its almost impossible. and yes even if you CAN get teh cams to match image, to do that you have to DEGRADE the DVX footage and that defeats the purpose of this cam...
i remember when i first heard abotu the DVX, people were complaining about no memory card slot and how it didnt have effects or couldnt take a still image.
ITS A DVCinema camera.
Thats what it was designed for. Thats what it does.
It doesnt pretend to do something it cant, and whatit can do is bloody incredible.
Those complaining about it need to do some more research. Even PAL mode running 25p is TRUE progressive, non of this frame mode. It runs a 2:2 drop down with absolutely no "stutter" (unless your flicking the cam which in turn would happen to ANY cam)
Gain features, well...
run it standard and you can light a room with candles. I dont know about anyone else, but i do know that the PAL models low light is the Best L/L i have seen on any cam of this calibur.
There were comments about the XL1s and PD150 having better low light. I havenot seen that claim proved on a PAL model.
Either way, if you have this cam be happy. If you have any of the others, BE HAPPY TOO. There is no need to groan about the cam when you have chosen a different brand for your own needs.
I dont see the point in tryin to put people off a brilliant piece of equipment.
The fact that you have a camera at all should be enough for ANYONE to be pleased with their own accomplishments, let alone bitching about a camera which, when used appropriately and effectively (which comes with time and practice) is probably the best camera in its range...
Save the energy and do something contructive.
Hell, if it can light up a room lit only by fairy lights 30ft up and make an indoor venue look like a star filled skyscape, it's doing its job, and thats al that matters.
hell, the next cam up from this with similar features is $15k US... think about it...
Either way, be happy with whatever cam you have as your the lucky few who actually have one.
Which shock mount and wind screen for DVX and ME66?
Not sure whether to post this here or in the audio forum, since my question concerns use of the ME66 with my DVX.
Anyway, I'm looking for a shock mount and windscreen for my ME66, which I use with the DVX-100. Currently, I have the mike in the supplied camera mount, with the Sennheiser MZW foam windscreen, and am finding that the windscreen is fine in mild to no wind exterior situations, but any wind stronger screws up the sound. Also, the camera mount transmits every last little bit of camera handling noise to the mike, thus my need for a decent shock mount to minimize camera noise for handheld shooting.
Problem is, there's such a wide variety of shock mounts and windscreens, I'm not sure which to use. Potential mounts include the Sennheiser MZS-CAM and the AT-8415, and the Rycote softie as a windscreen. One thing that's not clear to me from the Rycote website is whether the softie has a built-in shock mount, or if I could use the Rycote in conjunction with the Sennheiser mount.
Lightwave is also a possibility, though again, perusing their site still leaves me unsure which of their products would suit me best. Thanks!
Obviously, I'd want a mount and windscreen combo that wouldn't creep into my wide angle frame (using the DVX's lens, no wide-angle adaptor).
Any suggestions for which shock mount and windscreen I should get would be appreciated, along with mention of the types of shock mounts and wind screens fellow DVX shooters are using.
Hello Stas,
Personally, I'm a big fan of LightWave Systems in the Los Angeles area. Check out their Universal Mini Mount -- it'll work perfectly with the DVX100. See also their excellent Equalizer mic screen. The Mini Mount has a swing arm which will let you position the mic so that the mic nose won't get into your shot. As far as which products to order, I'd give them a call. They're an honest outfit and they'll sell you only what you need, not the whole store. Hope this helps,
Making the jump to a new Camera...
I've been doing corporate type video (training, promo) for about 5 years as a side business. I'm now seriously considering trying to go full time. My current equipment is the XL-1 and the TRV-900, along with the DVStorm 2 and After Effects PB (plus Premiere for "assembly" - God, that software needs work!!!). I get nice results with this setup, but I think I could do better...
I'm not comfortable yet on selecting a good camera rig to go to the next level. I've looked at the "higher end" options of of the JVC 500 or 5000, but am also considering the DVX 100 for its versatility in the field. The type of work I'm going to be doing includes 15-20 minute corporate spots for promotion of their product line. This will ultimately be distributed on DVD and VHS (yuk!).
I know there's no "right" answer to this question, but I'm looking for advice from experienced users. Is the DVX-100 a viable option for corporate work? Does 24p make sense as well for corporate work? Will it help eliminate that "Live at 5" look of standard mini DV? Do people routinely do corporate work at 24p, or is it really for film makers?
Thanks for any input you can give.
My corporate clients weren't really interested in the look when I ran some footage by them around the first of the year. However, I have a few clients I edit for that are doing event work, weddings etc. and the look sets them apart. My shooting clients are more interested in HD when it becomes affordable. The new JVC cameras would fit the bill, but can't be edited on a Mac. Presently my XL1s is satisfying all my corporate clients. I'm saving my pennies for the XL2 (or whatever Canon, Sony or Panasonic come up with).
How do you adjust Black Stretch and Knee?
After reading many articles in various publications about the adjustability of shadow detail, black stretch, and knee I was surprised to find no adjustments within the dvx that use that wording. As best I can tell Master Ped is the primary "black adjuster". Black Balance is set with white balance and in the manual it says that the black balance really only needs to be set once... not exactly, but in another words it's not a frequent need.
So I KNOW what black stretch and knee is/are but aside from Master Ped how do you do it?
Tips for anybody else who JUST got a dvx.
I'm just under two weeks into the dvx... Every time I use it I like it more and more. In fact I love this cam... I married it last week when I got it a B+W stepping ring... Okay on to the point of this post.
I'm guessing everybody knows this already, but I for one used to take white balance for granted. On my old digicams I could set it once through the day and forget it. At best I'd click between indoor and outdoor, but on my Sony it looked like outdoor gave the best picture all the time anyway (5600k)... it warmed up outdoor shots and indoor shots... and with the lesser cam the output seemed better for it.
Well I've noticed that proper white balance is CRUCIAL with the dvx. With ALL those settings of chroma phase, color temp, and gamma, you can tweak the picture to perfection in just a minute or less BUT that is a near impossible job if you DON'T FIRST SET THE WHITE BALANCE... I forgot to do that a couple times in some weird lighting conditions yesterday and I kept thinking I could get the colors true with tweaking... after several minutes I realized what the problem was and set the white balance with my white card... then the colors were near perfect without tweaking anything. Eeee-Hawww... felt like a jackass.
Also as I put my cam in and out of my bag through the day I never glanced at the volume controls on the side of the cam. With the exact fit of the bag as well as letting friends use my cam the settings were inadvertantly changed... so my audio track from yesterday is f-ed. Panasonic made it SO easy to check levels that you should always take an occassional glance at the knobs to make sure the white triangles are pointing where you set them! Eeee-Hawww again.
Also I kept my cam on cine-gamma and cine-matrix the whole first week... you will notice that highlights blow out big time if you just leave it on that. It seems that using those two setting is meant for shooting under controlled conditions... so experiment before you go to something important.
So to sum it up, I am once again AMAZED at this cam. I freakin' love it. I still can't believe that HD can be that much better and if it is NOBODY will want to see themselves on camera unless they are very good looking.
P.S. Get a circular polarizer... these cams love filters and the colors pop out of everything under a sunny sky... not to mention clouds... that pushed the dvx to mind-blowing when I got home to check the results.
Howdy from Texas,
I've a added links to Adam Wilt's articles on the DVX100 to the top of the forum. He addresses the knee issue (no fully adjustable knee, but gamma modes change it). No black stretch but you can adjust it with a combo of other controls to some degree.
Sennheiser K6 incompatibility
I tried using my trusty ME66K6 on a shoot with my new DVX100, and found I was getting hum unless an assistant held their hand on the K6's connection with the mic cable. (Tried this with two cables, so I know it isn't simply a matter of a bad cable.)
I initially figured my K6 must have gone bad, but I saw a "consumer comment" on one of the price-search boards, saying that the K6 would not work with his DVX100. Supposedly, he said, the K6 was too high-output, and would pick up hum even with a pad.
Has anyone here experienced this problem with their DVX and the Sennheiser K6 power module? If so, did the "low output" version of the K6 work OK? I could go with a borrowed AT-815b, but I'd hate to have to change mic brands in the middle of a feature shoot...
Not sure if your mic is having this problem.When the music gets loud the mic is terrible,it distorts.I sent mine to the factory for whats called a "Red dot repair". The factory tech tells me its common and they have to remove a capacator that should solve the problem. I use mine on a Sony trv-950 without any other problems. Hope this helps you

text: The Graphics Fairy is a blog that mostly caters to crafters, but I think anyone who likes vintage pictures and art should try and use this as a resource. There's a lot of unique vintage graphis that you can find there, and they also have links to neat fonts you can use as well. The best part is that everything is free on that site, but they do have a couple rules. One of those rules is that you cannot use more than 6 of their graphics on a single page of your blog or website. There's also the fact that all their images are in .jpg, so you'll have to go through some additional work to make it .png if you like transparent images. Despite those two downsides I highly recommend trying out this site if you like vintage graphics.

Interesting then that the US has done a pretty good job at it, engaging at the local level, despite immigration being a federal issue.
In Canada, the provinces have some say with regards to immigration policy (on the books, provinces have a lot of control over immigration). In principle, provinces that aren't as economically prosperous have a harder time not getting the immigrants to simply pack up and leave to the economically prosperous cities in a different province. The "immigrants come in and use the small town as a stepping stone to the big city, often leaving in the next half decade or so" is the bane of some provinces' immigration policies with the goal to distribute immigrants more evenly to economically struggling places, like some parts of the Maritimes, though things have been getting better I hear as immigrant communities start to build up (and the incentive to leave is less).
