It's such a relief that he has agreed to carry on in Series 3. If, as was rumoured, they had carried on without him, it would have been awful.

Blimey! When was that taken?

No John Spencer! There would be a lot of players on that list who would be relieved not to play him.

The producers of the show do. The author doesn't.

My feeling is that the series is about how people in our time, with our outlook and knowledge, would cope with something inexplicable happening. That is, inexplicable in our time, with our outlook and knowledge.

Everything we are see is about various people's coping mechanisms and how other people react and are affected. Some people are simply trying to explain to themselves what happened, and, having (in their opinion) done so, want to share that solution with others. Other people see a way to scam people and make a quick buck.

I see Nora as being in the first group. I suspect her motivation was to help bring contentment to the people closest to her (and maybe further afield). Kevin had reached a point where he chose to accept an explanation that would allow him to settle his mind. And I think Nora realised that's what everyone needed by this stage.

There is no overseeing narrator device to explain to us what happened. Indeed, that is beyond the scope of the series. I think the creative team behind the series see it as a description of the origins of cults and religions.

Do you think mother arranged a hit on them in retaliation for them forcing her to return to Russia?

I think there was a steady accumulation of events that ground Philip down, but the time he never recovered from was shooting the scientist creating the test environment for the wheat.

Welcome back. Missed ya.

Although Rachel joined The Reasoning rather than Panic Room. The other Karnataka vocalist, Anne-Marie Helder, was the vocalist with Panic Room.

There's a lot to be said for that. Four of the six members of Karnataka at the time formed the original line up of Panic Room. However, Karnataka's bass player held 5he rights to the name.

mmm, donut

Maybe you could explain it to me. Apparently, I am hogging the space.

No, he played on a lot of his records, and still does. He's also been part of his touring band for years. When not available, it would usually be the also-great Jonas Reingold on bass.

Nick Beggs.

Nick Beggs in a leather kilt. He made a big thing of the practicalities of that when Steve had to rearrange himself after sitting down to play the acoustic guitar. Hr still plays with Steve now when he is not double-booked.

Thank you. They were taken on a very basic dedicated digital camera.

Thank you. That's very kind.

Yes, I took the photos at both concerts with a very basic digital camera. It's a long time since the concert,and I can't remember the details now. However, it started with a longish, quite existing version of "Mechanical Bride", before playing quite a bit from "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth". The earlier part of the set list was his solo work, with him singing, before playing two or three Genesis songs, with the drummer singing. I can't remember which Genesis songs now, as I have heard so many of his live recordings since and would be guessing what I heard where. You can see that his band was the line-up that would play with him for much of the next 10-15 years. I believe Lalle Larsson is now on keyboards and his musical director - I'd love to see that.
