Doomwatch
• Chris
Smith's Classic Television: Doomwatch Page
• Peter
Culley's Doomwatch Page
Created by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis, "Doomwatch" was the nickname
of the Department of Observation and Measurement of Scientific Work, a department
of the 'Ministry of National Security'. The department was a watchdog to
the scientific work, supposed to ensure that public and environmental safety
was not compromised. Although its creation was a cynical attempt to win votes
and they were not intended to have much sway, the leader of the group, Dr
Spencer Quist (John Paul), ensured that they never stayed in the background
for very long.
Early
Edition
This show ran for four seasons on CBS, centring on
a divoced guy, Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler) who gets tomorrow's newspaper today
- delivered by a cat - and tries to save people who might otherwise be killed
or injured or killed, stop crimes (and other things).
Hallmark UK screened the entire series in 2004 and I enjoyed most of it,
especially the myhology episodes where Gary tries to uncover just how or
who the newsper is delivered. There's a great dynamic between the main characters
(Gary's friendship with blind friend Marissa is one of the best platonic
relationships between opposite sexes I've seen on fantasy genere TV), although
the show does seem to stumble during season three with the introdcution of
an 'annoying kid'. Thankfully he and his mother leave at the end of the season.
There are several web sites devoted to the show and there seem to be regular
fan conventions in Chicago, where Early Edition was
shot. TV Tome has an excellent episode guide, while this site run by the
EElFest convention organisers (http://www.geocities.com/eelfestnews)
includes an interesting Q&A section with script writer Sean Clark. Early
Dues Early Edition includes interviews (most of
them quite old) with some of the cast as well as a detailed episode guide
and plenty of links (http://earlydues.hispeed.com/ee).For
the picky viewer, there's a brief nitpicker's guide here: hobsonphile.homestead.com/nitpick.html
