No slap intended Stainless - It only really occured to me because I'd been listening to the Jeff Wayne version the other day
Targan - I thought them replacing the artilleryman with a Australian helicopter pilot was interesting, but not as intersting as the fact that the treatment of his idea for the 'Brave New World' was very different to the treatment it received in the novel and the musical version. His ideas were treated much more seriously in the BBC version - possibly because of people thinking about long term shelters and underground life in the event of a nuclear war, or am I reading too much into that?
Apols for the thread jack btw
