Update on _The Death of Doctor Island_

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Concerning buying a still frame from the forthcoming (we hope!) movie
version of "The Death of Doctor Island", Gwern Branwen asked, a while
back...

>>Was it worthwhile for you?

Yes. The still frame was a striking image and nicely printed.

As I planned to display the photo in my study, my main difficulty in
choosing a frame from all those available was finding one in which the
cast's utter nakedness was not going to cause bewildered or sly amusement
among any future grandchildren I might have. To prevent snickering behind
Granddad's back, I eventually managed to find one in which the hero is shown
sufficiently deeply immersed in water to hide his...er...embarrassment!
