No, that's fine. Yes, we did see both versions. The first version in 1982 (]'s first Christmas, for which the movie was commissioned), and the Bowie version probably came along the next year or the one after that. I thought they were probably sexing it up a bit for the overseas market, by adding a well known Brit (Bowie was a huge star in those days, so he was probably a good choice). --]|] 20:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC) No, that's fine.

I'm just starting here so I hope that I'm setting this up correctly. Those of you who are Misplaced Pages veterans feel free to leave messages telling me what I need to do to make this better.

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Good luck!

Regarding the "Talk" link in your signature--go to "Preferences", where you'll see a line saying "Your nickname (for signatures)". Enter ]] ]. HTH. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 20:56, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
Hm. That worked for me. It's certainly possible to get that link to go straight to your talk page--my best advice is to fiddle with it until the link goes there. Sorry I can't be more help, and let me know if you get it worked out, or if there's anything else I can do. Best, Meelar (talk) 02:20, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

Mifune

Hi Marnette! I replied at my TALK page. Quill 21:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)


As Did I

I also responded on Quill's page, as well as the Mifune article discussion. Cheers! --Venerable Bede 02:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Marnette

Marnette, I responded to you on my talk page. Cheers! --Venerable Bede 23:32, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cemetery

I have the misfortune/talent of being able to look at a full page of print and seeing typos and spelling errors instantly. So no criticism is implied, though I insist on "cemetery" and the appropriate use of "stationary" and "stationery"<g>. It's nice you're looking after Oscar. - Nunh-huh 17:43, 5 May 2005 (UTC)


The Snowman

No, that's fine. Yes, we did see both versions. The first version in 1982 (Channel 4's first Christmas, for which the movie was commissioned), and the Bowie version probably came along the next year or the one after that. I thought they were probably sexing it up a bit for the overseas market, by adding a well known Brit (Bowie was a huge star in those days, so he was probably a good choice). --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:58, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Oscar Wilde

Do you know how many times Oscar came to the US? Was it just the once when he was supposed to have told the customs, "I have nothing to declare but my genius", a wonderful story, I just wish it was true. Dabbler 18:41, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome...

...regarding the Doctor Who updates - though I found Khaosworks beat me to updating the table for the US/Canada release date! --JohnDBuell 00:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
