Please, nobody mention this to David Wake. We've already got one sequel to Captain Tartan on the way...

You may (or may not) be interested to know that -- when my family was in Germany, many years ago -- we saw several episodes of UFO (pronounced "ooffo") dubbed into German. The language fitted the images perfectly.

Oh, my.

The nearest to Ooffo that I've come is watching first-season Babylon 5 dubbed into German - the voices were all totally wrong, and I understood enough German to know that the dubbing as ... imprecise in places. Weird.

So, MC ... got post?

Ah, I remember seeing Raumschiff Enterprise: Der Nachste Jahrhundert ...

An inevitable side-effect of the dubbing process, where the aim is to match lip movement, especially those parts of the words where the lips meet. Given this limitation, it's sometime a wonder that one ends up with the same storyline!

BTW, are you perchance the same AB who has a letter to Dubya in today's G2?
