Dear friends,

Today I (finally) saw the German tv show Nano, featuring the Jules Verne
Club Berlin (interviews with Andreas and Dieter) and Verne expert Volker
Dehs in the studio.

I would like to compliment our German friends on this performance. Getting
so many members together in so little time: good job! Also, I was glad
with the serious way Verne was discussed. This is the merit of the guests
as well as of the makers of the program.

Two months ago, there was a documentary on Dutch television (an American
production, I believe; you may have seen it), that focused completely on
Verne the SF writer. The speakers: a NASA guy, the writer of Secret
Adventures of JV, a guy that built a giant ship, and a couple of others.
The only one who had to say anything reasonable was great-grandson Verne,
but he didn't manage to take away my disappointment with this show.

This documentary was about 50 minutes long. Compare this with the 10-15
minutes of the Nano feature, and you will see that more time doesn't mean
a better program. Quite on the contrary!

In short, a big round of applause for the German Vernians!

One question: what did they mean with the remark about a 'Folge' this
summer?

All the best,
Garmt.
