At last!!!!! Whenever I mentioned that I was a fan of Interceptor to anyone recently, they have always responded "what was that?" Imagine my delight at finding this site dedicated to it, as well as it's superb theme tune. I have spent the last 7 years trying to find a copy, even talking to Zack Laurence on the phone! Listen guys, we need to get someting together to get this show repeated or resurrected. Has anyone got the Chatsworth address? I will not rest until I see it on the screen again. Also, anyone got a copy of any of the episodes they can pass on to me. I will be glad to reimburse any costs. I have had Interceptor deficency for 8 years. Please provide me with a cure!!!!! Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks YAY for Chris!! You found your tapes eh?? Great! Which episodes were they?? Yeah Moogle - I agree with you. The Interceptor and Mikey were a classic double act! :o) Michael Malric-Smith is a director of Castle Air so I can't see any problems in getting him to serve the Interceptor again! :o) I'll be putting more pics and sounds up soon hopefully. Lee - you spoke to Zack?? Really?? Wow! How did you get hold of him? What is he up to these days? I only have one video at the moment, but I'm planning on getting a new one soon. When I do, I'll make a few copies for anyone that wants them. I'd rather see the episodes repeated though - so everyone can see again what a great show it was. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zack + Tapes Yep, Chris. Although it was a while ago, after Interceptor had finished for a while.
About 1991 or so. At that time of course, he was doing the CM music and whatever.
I didn't chat to him long, just asked how I could get a copy of Rock Revolution.
Seems a nice guy. Look, anyone, although I've download RR from the website, I need
a copy on cassette to play in the car, and also that is of quite good quality (which recording from the computer directly to tape is not). Can anyone help? I'll
be glad to reimburse postage and send own cassette etc. To the same extent, I am
keen to borrow anyone's copy of any episode to relive Interceptor. Please help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interceptor Repeats I intend to keep you updated on any advances with regards to getting Interceptor repeated on the telly. I have both written to Chatsworth Television and Challenge TV (a satellite channel that has been recently screening Treasure Hunt and is the one that is most likely to re-run the series). I will keep you posted..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor This is such a good site I'm downloading the 7" theme music again tonight and blasting it around my internet cafe. All the guys here remembered Interceptor the moment the midi version started playing. Good stuff indeed.
I had a chap e-mail me about some 'Adventure Game' tapes he found;
I'll find out if he's Laters, the wave files about to start soon.... 8-)# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'd like to be in America Hi Guys! Remember me, I started this forum off under the name of the Ghost Of Elvis. Just thought I'd say hi. A mate of mine (Interceptor fan) has just returned from a holiday in Florida and guess what? A station in the states is showing a show almost identical to the Interceptor called "Seek and Destroy" I'll let you know more about this when I hear myself. Ta-ra ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interceptor Many congrats are due to Chris Hart on the improvements to this page since the last time I visited it. Although I have a natural allegiance to The Crystal Maze (ask the others if you don't know), for what it's worth I found Interceptor to be a more exciting show in many ways. To this end, it's a crime that it never got a second series. I'm interested to hear from the posts above about the initiatives some fans are taking re: Challenge TV repeats, and the Seek and Destroy show. Keep the news coming, Chris - one day I'm hoping you'll be rewarded! David. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Idea for Interceptor ...By the way, if there was a "Return of the Interceptor" series made, I think it would be interesting if there was a male host and a female Interceptor. Contraversial, yes, but possibly very interesting. Just a thought. David. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Idea for Interceptor Thanks for your comments David! :o) A female Interceptor eh?? Hmmmm! Could be good, but who would they pick?? It would have to be someone mean and nasty!! Anyone got any ideas?? :o) I mean, someone nice as the Interceptor just wouldn't work!! The male contestant would let himself get caught far too easily!! With regard to Challenge TV and possible repeats, a fellow Interceptor fan (Lee Beckett) has received a reply from Challenge with reference to Interceptor repeats:- Dear Lee Many thanks for your letter about the Interceptor. As I've said to previous correspondents, we have no current plans to show this series, but our Programmes Acquisition department are aware of the requests from viewers. Like all suggestions, they are reviewing this programme along with others available on the market at the moment. Sorry this is a bit vague, but that's the current situation. Thanks again for contacting Challenge TV. Best wishes
ADRIAN LAST So! This could be a standard reply to all fan letters of this type, but taking it at face value, if they really are aware of Interceptor, then maybe everyone should write to them who hasn't already done so! If someone has the address for Challenge TV, can you please forward it to me, and I will put a request on the main Interceptor page. Come on!!! It could happen! The only way we will ever get a second series is for a successful repeat of the first series. As I suggested to Lee, maybe we should all club together and buy the rights to Interceptor for ourselves!! :o) Chris Hart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor Hi All! Glad to hear that the appeal for a repeat run of the first series has been met with so much warmth and enthusiasm. If you wish to e-mail Challenge, the best bet is to write to challenge_text.co.uk Make sure you mention that you wish for your plea to be passed to the Programme Acquisition department. It may also be worth mentioning this web site as a back-up to the resurgance of fans that there is! Cheers, Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor Hi! Thanks for that Challenge address Lee. If anyone can tell me the postal address, I would still like to put that on the main page. I feel that a written letter carries more weight and is less likely to get lost than an email. Emails are easy - some thought and effort has to go into a letter though. I've just received a letter from Chatsworth TV regarding a few questions I put to them. I asked if the pilot episodes still existed. I believe there were two pilots made - one with John Iles, and one with Sean O'Kane - but its not confirmed. What is confirmed though, is the following:- i) There are no pilot episodes still in existance I have no idea what the pilot shows would have been like. Maybe just set up situations, or maybe a full show! Either way, its very depressing that an unbroadcast episode has gone!! There is no way they could have been broadcast, but I would still like to have seen them. Chris M. Dickson has a copy of the US pilot of Interceptor I believe. I must twist is arm to get a copy! Hint hint! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor Hi! Me again!! :o) I hope people don't think I'm too sad for posting to my own site, but anyway I just wanted to let everyone know Chatsworth Television's email address. It is 106035.663@compuserve.com Anyone that hasn't already done so might like to mail them and say how much they liked the programme. It also doesn't hurt to pester them for repeats either! It might just give them a shove to try and start marketing it again. Well you never know!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Challenge Address Hi Again! Just to say that I actually entered the e-mail address wriong above for Challenge TV. It is actually : challenge_text@flextech.co.uk The postal address for the teletext service (which is the best bet because it is designed to be a feedback point for Challenge TV) is as follows:
Challenge text Don't forget to request that it be passed to Programme Acquisition. Cheers! Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor I don't have a copy of the US pilot, more's the pity. Maybe one day, though. (Just to clear up any possible confusion, I've seen the first three or four minutes of it, from tape, though, when I was in the US last summer... and there was something that was somehow not quite right about it.) Wonder what Chatsworth _are_ up to nowadays, though? It's been far too long since we've seen anything from them at all, more's the pity...
Cheers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor I've just been reading the above messages on this page. I like the other writers would like to see a re-run of the Interceptor series. I'll also be writing to the afore-mentioned addresses. I like the site, have you any more pictures available? Bye for now. John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Re: Interceptor Hi John! I do have a two or three more picture which I need to get scanned - I'm afraid they are black & white like before.
Please keep checking back though - especially in December as I will be
buying a video capturing card very soon. Web space allowing, you should find lots of
high quality grabs from each show, together with MPEG movie clips. I hope to include a movie clip of the opening titles, or maybe a good
ambush or two! If ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
