Wonderful news for all Australians and New Zealanders on the list...

Roughnecks: the Starship Troopers chronicles is listed as "Coming Soon!" on
page 62 of the new (April) Foxtel guide.

(For those non-Oz, Foxtel is Fox's cable TV provider in Australia -
pretty much one of the two main providers. Over here, we call it "Pay TV".)

Wouldn't you guess... it's be on Fox Kids. But at least it'll be on!!

Get your VCRs ready. Probably in May.

Hopefully we'll see the whole thing!

(To those in Oz who don't have Foxtel, I'm sure something can be arranged
<grin>)

I'd say that the odds are good that you guys will see the whole thing in the
proper order unlike us that had to get it as a mish-mash while they
waited for episodes to be completed from differnt design shops. As of now, I
believe the firsts eason is over.

It's actually shown up here in New Zealand on Saturday mornings on TV2 at
around 9:00AM, according to a friend of mine. I've been unable to confirm it
yet.

G'day Jeremy,

> Why was this not mentioned before! ARGH!! :)

Just be glad you live somewhere that gets Foxtel... to summarise Derek's day
yesterday:
<kitchen table in Fulton household - minus all the 'eat your breajfast
we'll be late for school' and 'don't blow bubbles in your milk' reprimands>

Beth: Did I remember to tell you Roughnecks will be on Foxtel soon? Derek:
What? No! Yes, life is great. Hell for that I'll veen walk Lachy to school
this morning! (It was my turn) Beth: Hold your horses, first lets find out how
much it'd cost. (Hey there's got to be one wet blanket in every family) Derek:
I'll go find out... (rushes off to phone, blabbering in background, rather
loud bang as handset returns to cradle in less than polite manner) Beth:
Well?? Derek: The world sucks and don't forget you're taking Lachlan to school
this morning.

Such is life;)

Beth

That's no way to talk to Derek, Beth - he can blow bubbles in his milk
if he wants to....
