I don't mind waiting for the Happy Day and the thought of a Quatermass watch sends me goosey. I assume you mean the 3 films?

I noticed other days were being discussed. Could it be moved to Thursdays from April 13th, and then you'll have one more for the re-watch (or watch in my case, since I've not seen it before).

That sounds promising! Thanks for that. I'd certainly sacrifice Quatermass for CotS - although, in terms of me, myself and I and my personal ideal world, CotS straight after Easter, then the 3 Quatermass films (which I bloomin' love - 'specially the second one for some obscure reason), would be a dream scenario. Even more so if that were followed by the Dr Who/Pertwee classic 'The Daemons' with Roger Delgado as a vicar. How about some Hammer horrors for some short-term gap-pluggers? Then there's the sci-fi pantheon ('2001', 'Andromeda Strain' etc etc). Or a pot-pourri of Star Trek classics ('Trouble with Tribbles' etc)? Or stuff like 'The Edge of Darkness'? Or the old Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe movies? Just suggestions. As I say, as long as CotS could be nudged back, I'd be absolutely cock-a-hoop.

Thursdays should be fine from my side of things, apart from an unavoidable Eurovision Semi-Final clash on 11th May, when I'll be submerged in Swiss cheeses, Scandinavian crispbreads and sundry other nibbles of many nations.

Tribbles BINNED!

By my calculations, with a 2-2-2-1 formation, we'll have finished COTS by Thursday, May 4th.

So, we can rest the Wednesday - now Thursday - rewatch for 3 weeks, then starts COTS on Thursday, April 13th, have another week off for Eurovision on May 11th, and then we'll have plenty of time to work out what we do from Thursday, May 18th onwards.

But tribbles would breed in the bins as well....

I liked - if that's the right word - Edge of Darkness when it was shown. I'd be interested to see what I'd make of it now. I'd also be up for anything with Roger Delgado as the Master. I know I watched Quatermass once but I can't remember much about it, except that my Mum was scared by it.
I don't mind which night so Thursday is fine. (I have no life).

Didn't know there were Eurovision semis until CB mentioned them. Are they on TV? (Why?) But I also spotted this:

Children of the Stones, Quatermass, Edge of Darkness, Star Trek, Roger Delgado....I am delirious....

Can someone post what we are actually doing with the rewatch? For clarity.
As far as I am aware COTS is being delayed for 3 weeks then being moved to Thursday, beginning 13th April. Are we resting Wednesdays in the meantime or.....?

Stop Press: One Spare Part says all six episodes of Edge Of Darkness are available on Dailymotion, so let's go for it.

Are we going to have two episodes per Wednesday for three weeks then CotS on Thursdays?

And maybe (thanks, OracvZen) have Quatermass on the list for after CotS?

Your welcome,are you saying cots this Thursday?

I've never heard of Edge of Darkness, but it looks interesting.

That's a shame - I won't be able to make the first episode of Children of the Stones.

CotS had better be good after all this.

Fret not - it'll be phantasmagorical. And that's just Mrs Crabtree standing in the road! If nothing else, CotS will make you redefine what you think astrophysics is. No, really. (You may need to re-read this post after you've seen Episode One.)

TT's posted the links already so I'm sure AA will be able to find them as/when she needs/wants them.

Edit: CotS is basically The Wicker Man for kids. I think you'll enjoy it - assuming you're the sort of person who might indeed enjoy The Wicker Man for kids.

How about Casting The Runes, 1979 Yorkshire tv adaptation?
Of ,M R James
Link with Children Of The Stones, both star Ian Cuthbertson.
50min long

Matthew (Peter Demin) says to his father Adam (Gareth Thomas) “pretty FANTASMAGIRICAL with an F ,which means more fantastic than fantastic “
Then Adam replies “ Rubbish ,it’s PH as in a series of illusions or phantoms “.
One of best opening lines (part off) of any children’s tv programmes.
And I agree a sort of wicker man for kids.

Ha! Yes, that's absolutely the case. Well remembered! I was (sort of) quoting Adam/Gareth rather than Matthew... (That's the bit just before they get the age of the stones' erection hopelessly wrong... Oh and astrophysics my *rse.)

And we mustn't forget the spooky music over the opening titles, of course.

Edit: We'll all need chocolate cake on standby, too!
