Another World: Daily Synopses

If you intend to be here, you must be looking for historical and unique synopses of Another World.

During the summer vacation of 1984, when I was off school, I was enthralled by the romance of Catlin Ewing and Sally Frame. When I went back to school in September, I couldn't bear not to know what was going on, but in those days I didn't have a VCR. Instead I set up a tape on an audio timer and left the TV volume on all day so that I could at least get the audio portion of the show. (My brother got a VCR in the summer of 1986 so that is the earliest I was working from video if I had not been able to watch the episode live.)

Some of my friends at school were also interested in being kept up-to-date, so I started writing up a synopsis from the audio tape. After a while I started saving the synopses in a binder. For the first little while I was using 45 minute tapes (which meant that I missed the beginning of each show) and then I moved to 60 minute tapes, and after a couple of years I was able to start using video tape. I gave up the updates when I had fallen about a year behind, but I have about 4 years' worth of episodes.

The synopses are typically scene-by-scene, sometimes very detailed with dialogue, depending on how interesting or amusing I found it.

After many years I started transferring the hand-written text into something legible on the web. As I make progress, I will add more days here. However, you should be warned:

• a lot of days are missing from September and October 1984 because I had no thought for posterity.
• because I was working from audio tape, in a lot of cases I wasn't sure what was happening and may have missed or misinterpreted details.
• the vocabulary and style are very idiosyncratic^*, with peculiar allusions and asides, as originally written.
• sometimes due to technical difficulties I missed some or all of an episode.
• there may have been typos created in the conversion to the web.
• Progress is slow, infrequent, and not always linear.

Enter at your own risk!

In order to fill in the gaps before the synopses started, I amused myself by writing the summary Except Camel Ride, heavily influenced by 1066 And All That.
