Elwy Yost made me a classic film lover and thanks to Space, I got to see many of the movies I had read about for years and had never gotten the chance to see. Incidentally, Space producer Mark Askwith, who was responsible for programming many of those great flicks, is a real swell guy who communicated with viewers regularly on the station's forums. He also created and produced TVO's Prisoners of Gravity (another great show) and may have been responsible for having Robert Sawyer drop in to discuss The Thing and Forbidden Planet with Elwy!<br /><br />You've probably also noticed that SNAM has also experienced a similar sad decline, pandering to younger viewers who don't care about watching anything made before they were born, or indeed, anything they aren't familiar with at all. It's pretty tragic, and a slap to the face to the people who loved the show for nearly forty years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
