Mima, from your Spare Pieces.jpg above; middle column image #1 . . . is the top right corner the same as the building in the Ascendancy tower bottom-left building? The street-works look similar in the way roads converge in the two pics.
Also, has anyone noticed the front of the tourist guide? What looks black in the scans is actually hiding another image of the city. Just above the word "City" to the left of the Ascendancy point you can really see the outline of the Key Square pond. It's like 96% grey . . . but the entire front of the guide has this masked wherever you see black. Neat effect.

Potus, the front page is brilliant, I have had a look on the scan I have, and I have an echo, enough to see something, what you know is there - eg, Key Square, but not enough to see what you don't know. Have you tried scanning the section around the title in different ways to see what sort of detail you can pick up? I have attached the best I have managed (title section).
I can't work out which building you are trying match to the Ascendancy Tower piece, could you maybe give me some more detail?

Nice work on the black scans. I had one quick pass at them before I noticed the second patterns, so I'll have to go back and re-scan this.
Here are the two pieces assembled together, it's just a long shot - but the arcs of the streets look correct. See what you think.

I've had a good look at the pics re that last one, and I don't think it is a match, the building below the Ascendancy Point Tower has a different type of window from the top of the tour guide one. Sorry!

Nice one Potus! I looked at the brochure in good strong sunlight for the first time (always attacking the cards at night after work) and bingo! It looks like a wireframe of the city environs around the Key lake. There seems to be 2 big open spaces to the sth E and sth W right at the bottom of the brochure

Clearly not a city that has benefitted from the recent development of "urban planning." Old World is old sk00l, G.

On the BBC programme there was a screenshot of a map in the same style - a whole screenful though.
Let's hope someone recorded it..

I've taken a photo of the TV screen, and am fairly sure that the piece shown last night fits like this. If someone has a way of getting a better quality image it would be greatly appreciated!

The BBC still uses RealPlayer files - yes? (.ram)
Was it discussed that it was illegal to share stills of this video - or is that limited to disallowing transmission of the file itself? I don't need to have the video (though I would love to see it) but we must know what the city looks like. Must we not? Of course - we must.
Can we have a frame capture pretty please with cubes on top? Anyone ??

ok i better just say this. first- its gunna b very hard to get a good clean pic of the map (no refresh lines) from the tv. i tried and failed. second- i cant convert the dvd i burned the culture show to into AVI or any computer readable format from the DVD-RAM it has burned it in. and finally- just as potus said, it could well be highly illegal to post stills or any form of image of the show on the internet s the prog has more than likely got a massive copyright on it.
BUT... are the puppet masters showing the map for us to only view the map, not copy it? i think so myself
