Thanks to Astro1, I just got through reading this script. Makes me Really wish that this episode was available. (Is it TRULY missing or is it available but in bad condition?) I'd have to say that this one ranks right up there with any of the best ones mentioned in the "Favorite Episodes" thread

Yeah, 100,000 DIAMETERS is sort of a \\\"Quiet, Please!\\\" improvement on the old CHICKEN HEART story from \\\"Lights Out!\\\" Many, many thanks, Astro1! These scripts are a revelation. So Albert Berman is really Albert Buhrmann. And a sting is really an ACCENT. And A RIBBON OF LINCOLN GREEN is really RETREAT AT DUNKERQUE. MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL would seem to be the precursor to Rod Serling's NERVOUS MAN IN A FOUR DOLLAR ROOM episode of the original Twilight Zone TV series. Too bad the episode is lost because who better to play opposite Chappell than Chappell himself? A MILE HIGH AND A MILE DEEP turns out to be sort of the flip side of HOW BEAUTIFUL UPON THE MOUNTAIN. Suddenly, I'm hungry to read Cooper's scripts for the surviving episodes, too.

I have not been on this site in almost 2 years. I am so glad I came back and found these scripts posted for the lost shows! Please add my name to the list of thanks to Astro.

If you know where I could purchase the scripts (I saw a past post where someone called Scifiguy was selling them for $10 each) I would be happy to buy 10 or so and donate them to the site. Would you have a list of the one's you are most interested in?

I wonder if it would be possible to obtain a recording of the performance?

I have just emailed the people asking if the show will be available "for those of us who can't attend the performance" Keep your toes crossed and hope for the best!

Orginally posted by Old Timer I have just emailed the people asking if the show will be available "for those of us who can't attend the performance" Keep your toes crossed and hope for the best! Here's the response I got I'll have to double check, but one way or another we'll no doubt record the performance. I'd be happy to send you a CD of whatever results from it, and frankly, if you even want to put an MP3 of it online, I suspect that would be OK with the group. Let's hope the recreation lives up to your standards! Let me know where/how to get it to you. --Larry Groebe generic radio workshop Dallas TX Now the question is how should they send it?

Orginally posted by Old Timer Now the question is how should they send it? If they'll send it to you, then you could email a copy to me... or, of course, I'd be happy to take the CD either directly or indirectly. If they don't mind an MP3 being posted then I'll certainly provide the hosting.
