LOL...I can make it on topic. Doesn't this one sound
like something LC might tell Nick? Of course, it'd
have to be vampire child stupidity or something like
that.....not sure if I'm making sense but it just
reminded me of some of LC's comments about the
futility of Nick's search.

For those who missed out on the introductory rate on the FK DVDs, check eBay.
There's quite a few up for bid at less than retail. Look for both Forever
Knight DVDs and Forever Knight Trilogy as if sellers use automatic FK posting
stuff for DVD, it comes out as "Forever Knight Trilogy Part 1."

Subject: More extras in CBS's "Dead Issue"

First, thanks to everyone for all the great piano info! Somehow I think Nick
would choose a Steinway. But then again, that rising sun over Kawai's logo might
appeal to him, too. (Goes with the loft decor, y'know.)   :-)

Thanks, too, to Shenandora for the German translation of the sign in "1966."
Hey, I *was* pretty close!

On taking a still-closer look at the CBS vs. Canadian & DVD versions of "Dead
Issue," I'm finding a few more bits that appeared only on the CBS broadcast
(besides the snippet with Nick hitting the bottle). In the flashback where Ilsa
confesses her "woman's crime" to Nick, there's much more of their conversation.
The lines in brackets below were only in the CBS version:

Nick: What crime could you possibly have committed that torments you so, Ilse?
[Did you steal? Give false witness? Utter a curse against the king? Come now,
you are barely two and twenty.]

Ilse: I committed a woman's crime. Seduction. I seduced a gentleman. A
nobleman.

[Nick: My dear Maiden Ilse...]

[Ilse: No longer maiden, sir! My evilness has destroyed that, and with it my
ability to enter into a marriage with the man I love!]

Nick: I have known seductresses...

Though they chopped all the episodes to itty bitty shreds, CBS obviously also
had access to dailies and/or other footage that just never ended up in the
Canadian versions. There's a really good scene in "I Will Repay" (with Nick balling
out the cop whose gun the perp grabbed) which is only in the CBS version. I'll
post a transcription of that tomorrow.

   It might not have been that expensive a request to fill.
        My understanding is that movie/television studios maintain prop
warehouses where they store props for reuse.   Productions working
for that studio basically have free/low-cost usage of any props that
they can find.  So, if there was a Steinway in there from a previous
movie/television show.....
        I also know that things like rare/unusual automobiles are frequently
literally rented from people who permit their car to be used in a
television show or movie.   Something similar might exist for other
objects.   I could see someone who has inherited a Steinway "renting"
it out rather then having it gather dust in storage that they have
to pay for.
        For that matter, how expensive would it be to just rent a panio for
the span of months that FK would have actually been shotting scripts
during a given year?
        Geraint may have requested that a Steinway be provided if possible.
 If it wasn't very expensive/difficult, the production may have
accomodated his request as "good staff relations".

I knew someone whose father rented his Tucker for use in the George Lucas
film.  He and the 40 or so others that rented them actually drove their own
cars, and were on the set whenever the cars were being used.  That might be
cumbersome for a weekly series.

If I "inherited" a Steinway, I would never rent it out to anyone.  I would
either play it, or sell it.  A vintage Steinway could sell for anywhere from
$20,000 and up.  Very expsensive, sought after pianos.  It is possible that they
rented it.  I dont think they would spend that much for a prop for a show that
was on the verge of being cancelled every other week or so. Being that the
studio they were working out of an was old industrial building, I doubt there
was a vast warehouse of studio props somewhere for them to use.

A bit of FK alumni trivia - In the episode of ONCE A THIEF with Nigel and John
K., Greg Kramer's character, Mr. Murphy, drives a vintage motorcycle.
Apparently the owner of the bike was just off camera so Greg wasn't able to

Subject: Re: piano

Actually, I can share something about renting props to film companies,
because I have done it. Sometimes they need things (like Tucker
automobiles or antiques) that simply can't be gotten readily anywhere
else. So they rent them from private individuals; I've been told the
rule of thumb is that rental payments are 10% of the value of the item.
More importantly, the owner gets to call the shots on the terms of the
rental. Insurance for the replacement value of the prop is standard, but
the film industry is well known in certain circles for treating people's
treasured possessions like, ummm, props. So often you will find that an
anxious owner is just out of sight when filming happens (and boy do you
learn set etiquette *fast*). The Tucker owners may well have rented
their rare and treasured cars on the condition that they were the only
ones to drive them. My dh and I did the same when renting an antique
sextant to a documentary crew; dh was particularly keen to make sure the
actor actually held and moved the sextant correctly, in addition to not
dropping the thing.

Getting back to the piano, I don't know of any cheap grand pianos. So
"in for a penny, in for a pound", it's probably not much more expensive
to rent a Steinway from a piano dealer than to rent some other make. In
Calgary, we have the international Honens piano competition every year
or two (www.honens.com); for the first year, the city's leading piano
dealer provided a large number of grands for use by the competitors, and
then had a sale on "lightly used" grands after the competition. Which
leads me to believe that grand pianos don't have such a high turnover
that they can't be spared from the showroom floor for a few months,
especially if they are generating rental income.

outside the U.S., in 1976,  I had to get a new passport.  I think the ten years,

Good Morning :o)

Angela said:

I would absolutely agree with this; and add to it that my son's former High
School and more than one "penniless" (honestly) Theater company, whether
associated with the local College, HS, or just private, has indeed had a
Steinway.
They were generally BABY Grands, though, and these are a bit less expensive.
The one at my son's HS was a full on Concert Grand; I understand it was a
donation.

OTOH, I have some difficulty imagining Geraint Wyn Davies (like I know him or
something, LOL, obviously, I do not) being particularly recalcitrant about
what piano he will play when his show is in difficult straights (back then).
On still another hand, I have seen folks who are far less than "stars" be
awfully demanding about what they will and will not play!!

So, who knows ;O)

IMHO, it is entirely possibly a Steinways was rented or even borrowed for FK.
 I have seen them in so many places that surprised me at the time, that it
would not surprise me at all :o)

>Which leads me to believe that grand pianos don't have such a high turnover

And there is that; when I have gone into piano showrooms, they are so dying
to have me try "whatever I want;" I imagine Grands and Concert Grands are not
that easy to sell!!

Just another two cents.........

The big question is here simply: What for??

Billie-Lee wrote:

> or something, LOL, obviously, I do not) being particularly recalcitrant about

Same here. Huge difficulties. I just can't see it.
At least from every interview or weekend tape or article or anecdotes from
people who know him personally or work with him, from every single one - anyone
got that impression? Or could he come across more differently?

But every second sentence of that guy seems to be kidding!! I could SOO easily
picture him saying that as a joke, then someone taking it seriously and passing
it on, becoming a rumor everyone believes in the end. I think someone suggested
already he was kidding here, sure a lot of us suspect the same.

Simply, what for would Ger want a Steinway?? I could see him requesting one
for Lacroix, or Janette, but could Nick as a supposedly poor cop show off a
20.000+ $ piano without risking to get people suspicious, and do some
investigating on him??
Even if he wanted one for Lacroix or whomever, wouldn't it have sufficed to
simply take some similar piano, fix a fake Steinway plate on it, have the prop
people do a bit cosmetics? Isn't everything faked on TV shows anyway? Would
the producers care if one out of 1000 viewers would notice it's not original?
Okay, so I'm completely clueless about pianos, that's those black thingees with
four legs and a keyboard.... <g> But the guy with the piano is still Nick, and
he better be careful. He's supposed to neither be a millionaire nor a star player,
so IMO it just wouldn't fit to the role.

And not to Ger either. Him simply playing diva, nothing expensive enough?
Who, Geraint Wyn Davies????   Uh, kidding, right? ;-)

Subject: CBS-only scenes in "I Will Repay"

Credit going where credit's due: list member Kristin spotted these
not-in-the-Canadian-version scenes in "I Will Repay." She's planning to put all of these
"missing" bits from CBS up on her website in the near future, and will no doubt
post info. on that as soon as she has. Meanwhile...

Nat has an extra line in Act 2 when she and Nick are wheeling Richard's "body"
out of the hospital. She tells the nurse, "I can handle it. Oh, by the way, I
know it's the duty of the attending physician, but I'd appreciate it if you'd
let me tell Richard's wife."

In Act 1, Nick collars the cop whose gun the perp got hold of in the Precinct
Station hallway and rakes him over the coals:

Nick: Tell me again, what happened?
Cop: I dunno!
Nick: You don't know. Who's responsible for your weapon? Come on, tell me!
Who's responsible?!
Cop: I am.
Nick: Yeah. You're responsible for it. So what the hell kind of answer is 'I
dunno'?
Stonetree: Nick! [then to the cop] Annis (?), take the rest of the day. [cop
exits]
Nick: [glaring] How's Barney?
Stonetree: He's gonna make it.
Nick: I wish I could say the same for Natalie's brother.
Stonetree: I know. Best prosecutor in the city. We've lost a hell of an asset
if he doesn't pull through. And a friend. [He walks away.]

[Nick is then seen huffing over to his desk and sitting down, whereupon Schanke
tosses a file at him and says the witness isn't likely to trust them to walk
her dog now, or some such.]

        I believe it is "seeable" if you you remember it was a "request".
        If Geraint has a preference and thought he might have opportunity to
play - even if it was just a way to pass time on-set while they were
arranging lighting or reloading film - he may have asked if a
Steinway could be found.
        A simple request - "Bob, when you go looking for a  piano for the
set, see if they have a Steinway.  It will match the décor you are
after and the tone is superior if we ever really want to have me play
it in a scene".
        In this "version" of reality, Bob did manage to find a Steinway and
brought it in.
        It wasn't Geraint slamming his weight around, he simply asked if it
was possible and someone clever/lucky found a way to accommodate his
request.
        From everything I've ever heard about Geraint, I'd be surprised to
see him "up in arms" about having a different piano onset.  In truth,
if they were going to actually use the instrument in a scene, it
would be easy enough to dub the sound after the fact.
        It is my understanding that this was commonly done to handle the
difficulty of talking with the FK fangs in place, so why not just
overdub the piano?

Oh yes, exactly! THAT is something I can envision, him sitting around waiting,
then asking for a Steinway to have some fun. (Just would like to see the look
on his face if they'd really bring one in <g>)

But for Nick the cop, I just think his budget for toys should already be used
up with the Caddy and the bike. Uhm, and the stereo, etc. . .

     Image the scene with me...
        Schanke:  "So tell me, Nick.  How did you afford a Steinway?"
        Nick arches eyebrows at Schanke.
        Schanke (defensively):  "Myra's sister plays.  Ten years of off-key
Christmas caroles..."  (Schanke shivers).
        Nick (laughing): "An old friend couldn't play anymore and wanted it
to have a good home with someone who would appreciate it."
        Schanke (impressed): "Some friend."
        Nick (confidentially and with a note of remembered longing):  "Yes.
A good friend"

        Compared to Nick's food/sunlight/inability-to-die "issues"
explaining away a Steinway is a piece of cake.

Tim, I loved that scene, if only that could have happened in the TV show. I
always felt the writers of the show missed the boat.  They had Geraint, an
actor who was very talented, and could play this gorgeous instrument, but
they hardly let Nick show his talent.

Too bad we can't rewind time, go back and let the fans write some of the
"should have been" scenes. Oh, but that is a fantasy. I guess we'll just
have to keep writing and reading FK fan fiction!

And I agree with you, it would have been a piece of cake to explain an
expensive piano, compared to the food and sun allergies.  I absolutely loved
the little scene you wrote...perhaps you should consider writing a story
around that scene?  Well, it doesn't hurt to ask, does it. <BG>

P.S.  I always did love the fun scenes between Nick and Schank.

LOL!! Cool, I'll get back on ya when I need a good excuse for something <g>

This works perfectly as a single scene, of course! Ditto for Angela's :)

It's just that IMHO there's still this little problem that too many weird
things are adding up, too much to explain without ever getting anyone
suspicious (except Schanke...) As you say, those little "issues" of him,
diet, sun-allergy, all sorts of weird stuff, additional to where he gets
the money for the Caddy, bike etc. Somewhere is a limit.
Of course, if it had been required for a plot, they'd still have put it
in, no question. Only that plot wasn't there, so what for.

Sigh. Couldn't support that more, what a treat those few scenes were.
Couldn't Ger play a pianist in a movie for a change, instead of tons of

The Caddy isn't a big deal either--he rescued it from the auto wreckers

(He needed to ride something while he was fixing up the Caddy.)

I think they just needed to 1) fill the space in the set; 2) further
establish Nick's artsy, sensitive side.
