Continuing a highly charged game of chess with the Weinstein Co., which has announced plans to move its cable hit Project Runway from Nbc-owned Bravo to Lifetime, NBC Universal said Monday that it had signed Runway's creators and producers to a longterm contract. NBC had previously sued the Weinstein Co., maintaining that it had given NBC a right of first refusal to the show. Monday's announced deal with Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz will prevent the pair from accompanying the show to Lifetime. The Weinstein Co., which already had signed Heidi Klum to continue hosting the show and fashion guru Tim Gunn to continue as a judge, issued a terse statement calling Cutforth and Lipsitz "fantastic producers, and we wish them well."

We incorrectly stated, however, that the series aired on the BBC. It in fact aired on Lwt (London Weekend Television), now known as ITV1.

The first James Bond movie, Dr. No, is being adapted as a radio drama by the BBC, which plans to air it on May 24 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ian Fleming, Bond's creator. Dr. No was Fleming's sixth spy novel, published 50 years ago. Toby Stephens, who played the villain in 2002's 007 flick Die Another Day, will play Bond in the BBC audio drama. David Suchet, who played Hercule Poirot in the Bbc-tv series based on the Agatha Christie detective stories, has been cast as the villain, Dr. No. BBC Radio said that on the same night it also plans to air an audio documentary, James Bond, the Last Englishman, in which David Cannadine, director of the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London, will argue that the Bond novels have played a key role in shaping his country's self-image.
