[edit] Characters
I think I'm going to try to add substantially to this, first I will try to add a list of major characters and include details of the series they were in and the tribe(s) they were members of too. Later I might try to include a brief summary of what the character is like, relations with other cast members and events which happened to the character. I am planning on doing this in an alphabetical list of main character names. I plan to try and list guest characters/small part characters in a separate list (and despite Charlie being listed as a main character by some sources I will place him in the guest list as he was only in two or three episodes. I might not have time to do all this so any help in achieving this expansion of the article would be much appreciated. Evil Eye 14.43, 25 July 2005.
I just re-added the detailed info for three of the characters after it was deleted because, as I said above, that was what I wanted for every character in that section. I haven't had time to add the same for the other characters yet (perhaps this makes the article look unbalanced and the reason why it was changed). But when I get time I will try to add more and hopefully others will be able to do the same. Evil Eye 17:26, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Series/season
Hey Evil Eye, just wanted to say that I didn't want to step on anybodies toes when I changed 'series' to 'season'. I do have the DVD myself and am aware that Cloud 9 likes to use 'series', but it seems rather confusing, especially for Americans (but also for me, a non-native speaker). It also sounds somewhat awkward, and I wanted it to be in accord with the terminology typically used in TV show fandom, rather than stick to Cloud9's alternative. If you look at the history of the article, there have been other people before who thought the same and changed it accordingly. Just wanted to clear that up. Have a nice day, Alyandra, 25 March 2005
Hello, series isn't just a word used by cloud 9, but is generally the traditional word used to describe a "season" of a programme in the UK (and some other countries I believe). Presently the use of season is becoming more common in the UK, but mostly in relation to US TV programmes. Either way, since "series" is a commonly used word for this and since it is used on the DVD itself, I think we should have "series" used here. :) Evil Eye 13:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I had no idea that it was used in the UK like this. Since The Tribe was produced for the UK and picked up by Channel 5, that seems perfectly reasonable then. :) Sorry for any inconvenience I might have caused. Alyandra, 25 March 2005
[edit] DVD Release
Just wanted to check what people though about moving the info about he DVD release down to after the character section. While it might be information important to some people, the article is about the Tribe as a TV programme and we should have significant information about the programme itself before we start to talk about the DVD. Having the DVD bit near the top makes it look a bit like advertising. So is anyone again me moving (and possibly adding/changing bits to) the DVD section? Evil Eye 21:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
I was thinking the exact same thing, Evil Eye (or Dogtanian, whatever ;-)), and just came here to discuss this. I think it would be best to add another section called "Merchandise" where we could include information about the DVDs as well as the books and CDs. Alyandra 12:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 62 million
I've seen this show and I confess that I struggle to believe that it had a budget of 62 million (it is claimed that later series had a higher budget) - more like £62.

[edit] Should this article be written from a NZ or UK perspective?
I know that The Tribe was filmed in New Zealand, but the budget, network of origin, and years of airing are all stated from a British perspective. Was the show produced by a British company? If so, the article should clearly say that it is a British television series, and if not, the article should give budgets in New Zealand dollars, etc. --Metropolitan90 03:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Tribe episode guides and more
Hey guys im allem i think that this site needs an episode guide from every episode in each series/season w.e. and more pics of the tribe there is'nt enough of them and i think the dvd section needs to be near to the top! i also put the tribe dvd pics on there i hope that was ok though i cant see series/season 1 & 4 on there why?? --Allem06 18:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)Allem
- I'm not too sure an episode guide would be very useful as the Tribe wasn't really an episodic programme, but rather it had a number of stories runnign throughout each series or for part of a series. Maybe a much larger guide for each series would be good though. Maybe keep the summaries we aleady have and then expand the sections with details of all the major stories and major events (eg deaths, births, missing people, arrivals, who runs the city, catured by(and by whom) key events, such as discovery of the antidote, the attack by Tribe Circus on the Mall, the election of city President etc). I think however and episode giude for all 250 or so episodes would be way too much. As for the DVD section being higher up, I don't agree either. The article is about the Tribe, and all information relevent to the TV programme itself should be included in the article first beofre we start talking about where one can get hold of a copy of the series...this isn't a place to advertise the DVDs after all :-) Evil Eye 18:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] KC - Ari Boyland
