Sunday 17 December 2000:
Well - did you all see Interceptor back on our screens? No? Me
neither. This information was sent by Lee Beckett - thanks Lee.
Interceptor was featured on a Sky One's `Event of the week - TV years
1989`. The entire section lasted approximately two minutes with most
of the opening titles and clips of a few different episodes. Hopefully
it won't be the last time we ever see Interceptor on our screens,
however just in case it is, make sure you watch Sky One on 28th
December at 9:00pm when the show is repeated!!!!!
Site news: The Wye Valley episode guide is almost complete and will be uploaded soon. Just in case I'm not back again before Christmas though - Merry Christmas! Why not go and play Interceptor's Christmas message again? Go on - you know you want to! :)
Saturday 2 December 2000:
I've just uploaded a better version of the second desktop
wallpaper.
Tuesday 28 November 2000:
The first of the desktop wallpapers are now available for
download.
Monday 27 November 2000:
In preparation for the first of the desktop wallpapers, I've enhanced
the downloads page to match the new Communications page. You'll
hopefully find a link their shortly!
Sunday 26 November 2000:
Something that I started a while ago is now complete - I've
transferred all of the old forum messages to the new site. In the
process I've modified the design of the links on the Communications
page. I will be
publishing a series of desktop wallpapers - hopefully the first one
will be up later today.

Sunday 19 November 2000:
Site production continues! I've added a little flash introduction
to the site. Its designed for Flash 5 players but seems to work okay
with at least Flash 4. If you do not have a shockwave player plugin
for your browser, you will see the existing introduction screen.
Tuesday 8 August 2000:
New page navigation graphics (arrows) designed. Visible on most
pages. The remaining pages will be completed tomorrow.
Monday 7 August 2000:
Commenced conversion of old forum messages.
Fixed broken news links above.
Sunday 6 August 2000:
Norfolk episode guide now complete - all pictures in place.
Font reformatting complete - now a constant style throughout.
Saturday 29 July 2000:
Two new pictures added to the Introduction pages.
Sunday 23 July 2000:
New picture added to the `Download` introduction page.
Wednesday 19 July 2000:
It was this very day eleven years ago that the first episode of
Interceptor was broadcast - Wednesday July 19th 1989.
It appears that I've exceeded my bandwidth quote with the BBC where I
host this site. I've therefore moved the old Interceptor site, all the
audio clips and all the movie clips to a different server. It should
all be pretty transparent to you, but if you notice a broken link or
anything not working as it should, please let me know. Thanks. chris.hart@seanokane.com
Sunday 9 July 2000:
I've just published most of the Norfolk episode guide. I will add
pictures to the last five pages over the next week.
Tuesday 4 July 2000:
I've now added all pictures to the Kent episode guide - it is now
complete.
Monday 3 July 2000:
The Kent episode guide is almost complete. I just need to add six more
images to the final three pages. Now that I have a design I am happy
with for the episode guide pages, the other episodes should follow
shortly.
Sunday 25 June 2000:
Audio clips are now available on the downloads page including two
brand new ones.
Saturday 24 June 2000:
The original Interceptor site and the Sean O'Kane site have now both
moved due to my impending change of ISP. The Sean O'Kane site can
still be reached through www.seanokane.com.
The old Interceptor site can be reached through the link on the main
news page.
I've added all of the RealVideo movies to the Download page.
Wednesday 21 June 2000:
I've been making lots of changes over the last couple of weeks,
not all of them are noticeable though. For example I've now converted
this site to work with `cascading style sheets`. This allows me to
define all the fonts in one place so that I can quickly and easily
change the whole look of the site in the future if required. You may
have noticed I'm now using a different font - Verdana. It looks a lot
better than Arial and hopefully works okay on your particular browser.
I've changed all the title graphics - I liked the original white ones,
but think these look a touch better, perhaps a little more dynamic?
I've also added a `loading` screen. It will work on all fourth
generation browsers and above. I just thought it was a nice touch,
particularly for the episode guide page which is the biggest page on
the site because of all the different roll over images that have to be
loaded before the page can even be displayed. Now that I'm nearing the
completion of these structural changes, I can get back on with adding
more content!
Sunday 14 May 2000:
I have now resolved
the problem with the new domain name, so interceptors-lair.com
is now active!
I've added two new sections - Site Information and Communications.
Please take a look.
I've also imported all the news pages from the old site. I wanted to
keep them as they tell the story of this site really and its
development over the last few years. They are now of course searchable
through the search engine above.
Finally, I've added a ticker tape style news scroller to the very
first page, so it is worth bookmarking interceptors-lair.com to
keep up to date. You never know, one day soon that news scroller may
be used to announce forthcoming repeats of Interceptor or maybe even a
new series?? Well we can hope! :o)
Tuesday 9 May 2000:
Yes I am still here. I registered a new domain name a
couple of months ago - Interceptors-lair.com. Unfortunately, I'm
having difficulties with the company I registered it with - all e-mail
I've sent so far have not been answered. Basically they insist on
having advertising placed on the site together with a popup window. I
wouldn't mind, but I paid extra for the full webdiversion service to
have the advertising removed! *sigh* Its kind of taken the shine off
getting the new domain name, so if anyone knows anyone at UK2.NET,
please give them a shove! Cheers! In the meantime I'll be adding a
`frame buster` script to remove the advertising.
Sunday 13 February 2000:
Please keep an eye on the site
information page to see what features are coming on-line. Also, don't
forget that the new forum is up and running - please feel free to make
lots of constructive criticism! :o)
I've spent more time today working on the episode guide - Kent is just
about finished. All text is in place - just a few remaining
pictures and a title page and it will be complete.
Saturday 1 January 2000:
Its ten years to the day since the last episode of Interceptor was broadcast. A fitting time then to revamp
the videos that are available on this site. All videos are now in RealVideo format which allows me to
include much longer clips for the same or smaller file sizes. There is over fifteen minutes
of Interceptor footage available for download. Have a look and let me know what you think. Happy new
year!
