*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Many years ago I saw a show on PBS that I would love to get on tape or at least see just ONE MORE TIME. IT was called "Between Time and Timbuktu (sp)" and I saw it on WGBH (who I think produced it). I believe that it was written by Kurt Vonnegut. Does anyone remember? How about this triple feature... Between Time and Timbuktu Lathe of Heaven Overdrawn at the Memory Bank A PBS SF overload. Gary (hplabs,allegra,ihnp4)oliveb!olivee!gnome

Does anyone remember? >How about this triple feature... >Between Time and Timbuktu >Lathe of Heaven >Overdrawn at the Memory Bank ---------- Hear, hear!! Between_Time_and_Timbuktu:_A_Space_Odyssey is one of my all-time favorites (along with Lathe_of_Heaven, which I consider one of the best sf films ever, especially given its small budget). Between_Time... was based on several Vonnegut books, but I don't know if he did the screenplay. I've often wondered if PBS offers tapes of its shows, and I still don't know, so I'd be interested if anyone does know. Since alot of the shows are produced by the local PBS stations, there might be some problem as to who owns them, which might prevent there being available. Still, I think it'd be a great way for PBS to earn money. Sure beats the hell out a Pledge Drives! Diane

Yes, Kurt baby wrote the teleplay. As a matter of fact, it was published in large format paperback. Hilarious piece of work, copiously illustrated with stills from the show and a flipbook-type drawing in the margins.
