Exactly, there's no more story to tell.

Re: His Dark Materials

I've just found out my cousin is the editor for 2 episodes of Season 3 and he's just spent a month in Cardiff doing that.

Is this show any good, I may give it a go?

If you can imagine one of the classic children’s serials the BBC used to make in the 70s and 80s, but multiply the budget by about a million, you’ll get the idea. Philip Pullman (the author whose novels have been adapted for this series) was an English teacher, which helps explain the general tone and target age of the story. Pullman is also a mouth-frothing atheist with a major chip on his shoulder over the success of CS Lewis and his Chronicles of Narnia, which function at various points as Christian morality tales and occasionally outright allegory, and designed his own series as an attack on the institution of the Church (represented here, with all the subtlety of a house brick, as “the Magisterium”).

Despite this the story is actually very good and the adaptation has extremely high production values. The conversion from book to TV is better in season 1 than in season 2, which feels a little laboured at times, but in its defence, season 2 was heavily impacted by the first covid lockdown.

It is aimed squarely at a family audience but in a similar way to Doctor Who is. You don’t need to have kids in the room as an excuse to watch. I’d say it’s well worth a go - the whole lot is on iPlayer at the moment.

First episode of season 1 seems interesting and strange.

Re: His Dark Materials

Well I'm 4 episodes in and I'm really enjoying this, I've learnt that if General doesn't like a show then I often love it.

My Cousin got given an Alethiometer when his contract ended for being the editor of a few episodes for S3, I'm jealous!

Likewise extremely jealous!

Do you happen to know if it was a production prop or is it a collectible replica?

Me too.

That's the most identifiable and iconic thing in the HDM universe, I can't see the production props being given to anyone on the crew unless they were there the whole production.

A collectable replica is still a lovely gift from them though.

Just got the answer for this and I am even more jealous!

They handmade 300 replicas from solid brass, one for every crew member and they are all numbered and unique, as the hands point in different directions for all of them.
