Links...

Blind Boys of Alabama covered the theme song to the The Wire and Steve Earle is doing the next cover. I can't find five links though...

Alternative Tube Maps

The only link I could find was http://www.petercooper.co.uk/archives/001169.html
it contains a few alternative maps and links.

Question...

'3. If 'The Grove Family' were to be at Ongar, what would you expect to find at West Ruislip?'

'I love Lucy' would be a good candidate as it is also a soap opera that was first broadcast in the 50s.

Lego - Prison Break

This is a lego reconstruction of the intro. scene from the TV drama 'Prison Break'.

Omar Little

'Omar Devone Little' lives by a strict set of rules. He has never attacked/robbed/assaulted anyone who wasn't in the drug trade. Therefore, in his eyes, anyone who didn't deserve it. He is the only one in the series know to not swear. His Grandmother Josephine was a hardy and strict woman, who was largely responsible for his strict moral code. She raised him after he was orphaned. He is very skilled at surveilance and shooting, and is known for being rather stuck up.

Underground Television Shows

Today we had the task of making a map of the underground which linked together as many television shows as possible. We did this by placing names of television dramas in place of the stations, at each intersection we had to think about linking one genre of television shows to another. We had to sort through as many shows as possible placing all of them at the different stations until we had an entire map of the underground replaced with a linking network of television dramas.

We encountered some problems, such as the confusion about which show we would have at King's Cross station. This had to interlink six different genres of show into one. It took a while for us to choose what drama to put there. Then we had to sort out all of the other links to the other television shows. We had to be careful we didn't label a line with any genre that was too vague or we wouldn't have been able to put anything from that genre anywhere else, which created several problems for us when choosing what to name the different lines.

I was set the task of finding as many Crime Dramas as I could (I was asked for about sixty). Then, when finished I had to sort as many as I could into sub-catagories. The rest of the class generally worked well with each other and there was plenty communication between everyone. We managed to work out some of the map and what shows to put there. The biggest problem was getting everybody to work together properly as a team. In the end however, we managed everything pretty well.

King's Cross

The television show 'House M.D.' can be linked to about six different genres of drama:

Medical - As it is a medical show when it comes down to it.

Romantic - Not many dramas that aren't to do with Romance.

Religion - It often shows the sides of doubt and belief elements to do with religion, it is a strong topic in the show.

Comedy - It's sharp with and endless sarcasm points it towards the comedic side of the underground.

Heavy/Drama - The show can in itself be quite dark and depressing ranging from such matters as being unable to adopt a baby to death and despair.

Detective - On several occasions the show (involving the main characters House and Wilson) has been compared to Sherlock Holmes (Involving the characters Holmes and Watson). It is very much to do with being a detective type as it is a show about 'Medical mysteries'.
