THE TRIBE, New Zealand, 1999-2003. S04E51, dir. Peter Nathan.

Of course I'm rewatching my favourite show about a pandemic during a pandemic. (TW for virus deaths)

  CAST APPEARANCE ON THE BULLETIN BOARD/TRIBE TALK As you may know last week, Michael Wesley-Smith (JACK) gave a live and exclusive interview over the Bulletin Board. Michael appreciates all the questions and messages posted to him, and did his utmost to answer as many messages as he could but there were too many messages for him to give an answer to everyone. Michael will try to answer some of the messages he was unable to later on this week when he has a break in his filming schedule. We will be letting you know who will be the next member of cast to appear live and exclusive on the Bulletin Board as soon as we can, and will advise details as soon as arrangements are made (I.e. to coincide with the production schedule of Tribe Series 2) on the main website and the Bulletin Board. Back to Top RED HOT EXCLUSIVE... We have been authorised to reveal that the next member of cast to appear live and exclusive on the Bulletin Board will be DWAYNE CAMERON, better known to his fans around the world as BRAY.

In New Zealand the Tribe was launched on TV4 and had a tremendous response from audiences and was chosen as the highlight of the weekšs television in popular publications such as the Evening Post, The Dominion, the Sunday Star Times, and the Sunday News. There were also loads of other interviews and publicity on radio and television. New Zealand is a very important territory for the cast and crew due to the fact this is where the series is filmed and fans and viewers can enjoy the Tribe every Tuesday at 19.30 pm. Back to Top INTERNATIONAL NEWS The Tribe from this week is now being shown in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Finland, New Zealand, and Poland. The series starts transmission in Slovenia, Israel, Holland and Vietnam shortly and for fans in these countries, please continue checking the Tribeworld website whereby dates will be posted as a special exclusive. Cloud 9 are in negotiations with several interested broadcasters in Germany, the USA, Japan, Italy, France and Canada, and again we will be advising details of more countries where the Tribe is going to be broadcast soon. The world is going tribal! Back to Top EXCLUSIVE - THE TRIBE ALBUM! The cast in the Tribe are not only accomplished actors and actresses but are very talented singers, musicians, and dancers. We have been authorised to reveal that John Williams and Matt Prime arrived in New Zealand within the last few days to continue recording the first Tribe album. Both John Williams and Matt Prime are highly esteemed songwriters - and John Williams is a very famous record producer who has worked with a host of high profile names within the music industry ranging from Debby Harry/Blondie to Simple Minds, the Proclaimers to the Housemartins. The Tribe is the next "band" John will produce and the cast are currently busy rehearsing some exciting new songs which have been written - which will be placed on their first album. They will also be singing a version of the tremendously popular theme tune "The Dream Must Stay Alive". It will take about six weeks to record the album in New Zealand and the cast will be travelling back and forth between the television studio and locations and the music recording studio to record the album. They will also be filming a promotional video to accompany some of the songs which will be released as singles and this involves a great deal of planning and preparation - including the cast working with an experienced choreographer and voice coach. After recording the cast, John Williams and Matt Prime will return to England where they will mix all the tracks (they have been working and recording and arranging for several weeks now - backing tracks that is and this current phase of recording the cast is a very important one). Please continue checking the Tribeworld website where once again details will be revealed regarding when the album will be released - but this will be after the information is given to members of the Official Triibe Fan Club who will be advised first as an exclusive. It is a long process and the album will not be available for several months yet - but the theme tune to the current series will also be available by December to members of the Official Tribe Fan Club. We have been authorised to reveal that plans are currently underway for a promotional tour around the world and there will be updates and confirmation of the tour later so please keep checking the Latest News on the website for further information.
