Official Curse of the Lost Pharaohs Discussion

[hannikan]

I can't see videos on Alibi since I'm not in the UK and I can't see anything on CTV since I'm not in Canada. So I know I'll have to wait for it to show up on YT.

I noticed Maureen posted her thoughts about it on FB: "Our household has a mixed opinion so far but let's see where it goes. Very far off the books, characters and the actual tv series."

[renaissancegirl]

Interesting that Maureen feels that way, as I see it in line with Crabtree's wild imagination! I do know, however, that her husband had mentioned earlier on,on the CityTv FB site, that they had no idea that the series was about to come out--that it was a surprise to them. I imagine that they may not be impressed that they were not consulted.

[hannikan]

Yeah it does seem to be all in George's imagination so it would be expected to be very different from the books and the TV show. Maybe she'll warm up to it.

Please let me know how we can see this in the UK

You can't see it outside Canada. I'm hoping they'll put it on the DVDs when those are released for S4.

I've been able to watch a couple of the later episodes on the CityTV website. I haven't watched them because I want to watch from the beginning.

[hannikan]

Okay, I did get episodes 4-11 to work. They're really short and silly so I wasn't worried about missing the beginning. They are pretty funny. I do hope they'll put them on the S4 DVD as bonus features so I can see the first 3.

[catherinefremin]

I just watched them all in one go, and yes they are completely off character etc, but that's the point. The reason they're so funny is that George (as you might have imagined) has inflated his role in the mystery. He calls everyone by their first names (ie. "Will", "Jules" and Thomas") and he's the one that everyone consults. It's really a caricature of the show and the characters, but it's wonderful!

[Terence's Top Hat]

I can't watch either I'm on dial-up unfortunately. It's all that we have available in the middle of nowhere. I really hope they air this on TV.

[hannikan]

I agree, Catherine. I'm sorry you can't watch them on dial up, N. Since it's a web series, I don't think they'd be on TV. I still can't get the first three to work. I hope they make it on the S4 DVDs. Julia was really funny in them.

[rondetto]

I'd love to see them too, cant understand why they're not on tv.
Any news about a new series?

[hannikan]

Yup, there's info about season 5 up in the Season 5 Discussion, Ron. They're taping it right now.

[rondetto]

Thanks for the info.

If you can't watch it on CityTV's website, like if it goes black, sometimes if you refresh or just let it sit there for a good 5 minutes it will load, I've noticed this problem as well.
