Topic: Mini series


In the News (Sun 12 Oct 08)

  
  Miniseries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term serial is preferred for short-run British television drama, which has been a staple of UK schedules since the early 1950s when serials such as The Quatermass Experiment (1953) established the popularity of the form.
The series The Prisoner was originally pitched by Patrick McGoohan for 9 episodes, and expanded to 17 due to studio concerns that such a short series would be difficult to sell.
These are also known as limited series, as opposed to one-shots or a trade paperback.

 Soft Design, Inc. - NEC Astra Mini-Computer Series   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The 200 series was introduced in 1980 with a 205, 210, 215, 220, 230, 250 and 270 model (270 the most powerful).
The 400 series first started off with using the same drives as the 300 series (and still does) but in 1989 introduced PC style hard drives (full height 5.25") which allowed a larger number of drives to be in the main cabinet.
The NEC 500 series is in Japan, Canada, and other countries, but not the United States due to the competitive environment for which it must compete against.

 Amazon.com: DVD: Battlestar Galactica (2003 Miniseries) (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
In the original series, the saga opens at a peace conference, ending the 1000-year war between the humans, congregated mostly on twelve planetary colonies, and the Cylons, a machine race bent on galactic domination.
The original series ended before the journey ended; there was an earlier attempt at resurrecting the series in 'Galactica 1980' which mercifully fell victim to well-deserved bad ratings rather quickly, and purists never considered a true continuation of the series.
In this series, with a few nods to the original ideas, there are still humans on twelve planets who have an advanced civilisation, but an aging military fleet.

 X-Entertainment - V: The Original Mini-Series Movie Review.
The series kicks off with Donovan videotaping some intense grenade battle between two warring cultural stereotypes, but it was all a red herring to distract viewers: soon, up in the skies, there they be: flying saucers, and a whole lot of 'em.
This was one of the less thought-out scenes of the series, as Caleb survives for a good minute or so stuck in the freeze chamber right after we see another guy lose an arm just by touching the god damn door.
One of the great things about the series was how multilayered the characters were -- there were all sorts of double-crossings and that kinda junk, with some aliens acting as heroes, and some humans acting worse than any of the Visitors could.

The 1 series is larger than the MINI, the 1 series is to compete in the preium hatch market against the likes of the Audi A3, top end VW golfs and the mercedes c class coupe
The new 3 series is going to be half a class bigger so there is plenty of room to fit in the 1-series and the 2-series coupe.
