I cannot wait to see this. I have been watching TPOTE until I can recite the lines. I already have Dark City memorized.

In case anyone has missed it (as the page has turned over), please go back one page for a lovely comment about Rufus from the exec producer of Left Bank Pictures.

Thanks for posting that, GE2! What a great article! That was a very nice compliment for Rufus (not that we'd expect anything less.  ) I loved this quote from Rufus: He's so funny! (And so right, too!) |

Thanks for the great info. I cant wait...well it looks like I will have to. May have to put some presure on Masterpiece. Do you think this will be on Masterpiece or BBC America ? Another thank you to GE2 for posting this. By the way I bought a copy of the Christmas Radio Times today and on the back page it states that the January 1st - 7th edition will be published on Christma Eve. I should think all the other UK TV mags will follow suit, so hopefully lots of pictures from Zen and interviews with Roof. I hope he will make the front cover of some of them. Would be fantastic if he got a Radio Times cover. |

The original BBC press release says that it's being made in association with (among others) Masterpiece for PBS. www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/02_february/18/zen.shtmlAnniem, around here the New Year RT tends to come out a few days before the official publication date, so keep your eyes peeled! Oh, and Rueful, I used to work with police officers and their usual motivation for wrapping up a crime scene quickly was to get the paperwork off their desks and their overtime sheets submitted! ;-) |

Last Friday I asked a question on the Facebook site for Masterpiece theater about the timing of the airing of "Zen" here in the US. The answer was: "Zen ... will air sometime in the summer of 2011. The schedule will likely be announced early next year-so stay tuned". While I thanked them for their response, I did tell them that "Zen" will air in England next January and that next summer was far too long a wait for us here in the USA. I know it won't do any good but it made me feel better as I pounded my keyboard with my opinion!!!  |

Grrr. I'm not waiting till next summer for Zen! I wonder when the BBC will release it on DVD? (I just bought myself a region-free DVD player!)

You can pre-order Zen on Amazon (uk) - region2. Releasedate is January 24, at least that's what it says.

!!! Very bad promo tactic and decision making on part of the US PBS. Rufus is already pretty well known in Europe. He needs more and current exposure here in the USA, IMHO. Well, I am slightly biased.
