LMAO!
When I tried to view it the first time, I got a message saying I needed to download something, blah, blah, blah. I clicked "Yes" and then it ran fine. |

| Bingo, when I tried to click on it, a bar at the top of my screen said it couldn't be played without out XXXX update, and asked if I wanted to install it. I clicked yes and then it played fine. Do you not get that bar at the top of the screen when you click on it? |

| I still can't actually get it to work myself! There is some player issue needing an update but we are unaware of the details, Steve is trying to sort it |

| It wouldn't work for me in Firefox either but worked first time in IE. Looks good, The Savages is one of my favourite missing stories, although i've never actually seen a recon (apart from the ones on BBC DVDs) |

| I've seen the original LC Recon. It was enough to tell me it's a fascinating story. It's a crime it doesn't survive, but I'm very much looking forward to version II. |

Well the Loose Cannon ones are similar - but better :-)
Actually in comparison the LC ones are similar to the one on the BBC's Tenth Planet, though more recent ones have new innovations such as CGI, they are a bit of a marmite thing, some people can watch them and enjoyy them as much as an existing episode, whereas some think they are as dull as dishwater |

It took me an episode or two, the first time I saw a recon, to get over the lack of motion, but after that, it's not a problem. I very much enjoy them. Most of the time, I feel like I've actually experienced the episode afterwards (of course not to the same degree I would a motion-episode).
I'd have to say my favorite LC Recon, though, is The Dalek Masterplan. |

| I think that they are great........far better than having "no story" or a sound track only option...... |

| I have a lot of difficulty just listening to the soundtracks. I'm constantly distracted by other things, so I keep missing bits. With the recons, I have something to visually focus on, so it's much better. |

| I agree with toxic, having a visual reference definately helps concentration. |

| Looks good. Anyone wanting to look at the trailer directly, or play in a different media player just replace /soon.htm with /trailers/aa.wmv in the URL. |

| Ah that works - thanks Nix - please note anyone viewing it that way it is supposed to be at a much smaller resolution so is a little blocky |
