[Geysers] BBC Show (Schwarz)

[Mary Beth Schwarz]

     The BBC people told us that the geyser gazer segment would probably
never be seen in the United States because each hour of programming has
about 10 minutes of commercials.  The 3 shows about Yellowstone are 50
minutes long and each one has a 10-minute "extra" so in the UK it fills the
whole hour (without commercials).  The extra 10 minutes can easily be
dropped when shown on Discovery or other American channels.  It appears that
the only way to see the segments with Jeff Henry and the geyser gazers is to
buy the DVD with all 3 parts.  I do not know when this DVD might be
available.

     Trish Miller in Oxford reported that the geyser gazer segment had Jim
talking about Lion, Barbara Lasseter at Grand, gazers watching a minor at
Castle, Cynthia Barwin at Fan & Mortar (not ie), and Dick Powell talking
about cleaning thermal features.  Several geysers are shown in eruption
including Riverside, Grand, Sawmill, and Beehive.

     The Animal Planet show, Yellowstone Battle for Life, was a special
using film from the BBC shows, but it was cut to 2 hours and the narration
is new, so it is quite a different show.  No people are in this version.
