So what is Ripper?

[orpheusxi]

Is it in a TV show format or a Movie format?

 

[Blondie Bear]

I think it's going to be a made-for-TV movie. Don't quote me, though.

 

[Kemy]

According to the BBC a 90 minute TV movie, a double episode sort of thing so TV format.

 

[anyatara]

*Nods* TV movie, so basically neither 😛 Or both, depending on how you look at it.

 

[Kemy]

Well kind of "inbetween" since its going to have a higher budget and better resources than basic TV but still not up to the level of a movie.

So, yeah glorified high budget double episode.

 

[anyatara]

Oooh, inbetween is cool too. So it's a...um...thing 😀 😛

 

[caitaintdead]

i bet thats going to be reeeeeal easy to get hold of!

 

[anyatara]

Well it's gonna be on BBC2, I'm not sure when though.

 

[caitaintdead]

no such thing in perth! hopefully itll be on cable tv and i can get someone with foxtel to tape it for me.

 

[Xin Rong]

Wow so they're finally doing this, so when is this wonderful program coming to our screens

 

[ILLYRIAN]

A-ha Caitaintdead,

yea of no faith in our glorious TV system. I am bored/fed up/p'd off/ proud ? to announce it will be on the TV in Perth, and with a lot of luck considering the bloody useless TV stations we have, it'll be on the air at least ten years after the rest of the world has seen it. So yeah if you know some-one with cable go for it, or wait till its released on DVD.

 

[VisionGuy]

Is this gonna be canon? And will it air here in the US?

 

[Randy Giles]

At first I thought it was a movie but an article I read, although vague, made me think that perhaps it would be a show, albeit a short, six-part series like most UK shows. I'd be happier with that but I guess a movie is what it's going to be.

 

[Old Master 3.0]

Is this gonna be canon? And will it air here in the US?

No way of knowing if it'll make it to the U.S., although it would be highly unlikely that it WON'T be shown here.
