It was Nic Roeg’s intention to show that Newton’s only means of collecting and sifting data was channel hopping. This, to me, intimates that he had at least some interest in what was going on around him. At that point I’m not sure that I had quite the same passion for “reality” as he. My preferred viewing was the “snow” on the spare channel. My “truth” was somewhere between extraterrestrial magi and a few good grams.
