[Swprograms] Re: [dxld] War of the Worlds new version on BBCWS today

["Richard Cuff" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The program website also says "updated at 1832 GMT Saturday".

So what is shown there is the past week's entry, not the upcoming entry.

This also matches the World Service Press Office communication I received in 
January, which has the following details on the program:

"Two key crew members of TV's  Starship Enterprise are featured in the L.A. 
Theatre Works revival of H G Well's celebrated science fiction story  The 
War of the Worlds on Saturday 26 February.

"Leonard Nimoy, best known as the enigmatic Vulcan Mr Spock in the original 
Star Trek TV series and films, and Gates McFadden, best known as Dr Beverley 
Crusher in the Star Trek Next Generation TV series and more recent spin-off 
films, star as Pierson and the announcer respectively.

"In 1938 Orson Welles and The Mercury Theatre Company broadcast Howard Koch's 
radio dramatisation of this sci-fi classic and caused the biggest Halloween 
fright of all time. They interrupted regular programming with numerous news 
flashes and first hand reports that were so convincing thousands of people 
believed the world was coming to an end.

"Loosely based on H.G.Well's novel The War of the Worlds, Orson Welles' 
production went down in history as The Panic Broadcast.

"Producer/Susan Albert Lowenberg, LA Theatre Works, USA"
