About The Author
This web production was designed and developed by Chris Hart, Nottingham, England.
I first saw Sean O'Kane starring as the `Interceptor` in the programme of the same name by Chatsworth/Thames Television, broadcast in 1989. I was hooked from the very first episode.
The Interceptor was a menacing figure dressed all in black. His purpose in life was to make the game-show contestants' life hell by pursuing them in either a sleek helicopter, a Maserati motor car, a Kawasaki motorbike or on foot. As well as scaring the living daylights out of most of the contestants, he provided the shows humurous element, with his mannerisms, catchphrases and best of all - his dialogue with Mikie, the pilot of his helicopter.
I have followed Sean's career ever since. Its great to be lazily watching TV and suddenly you hear a familiar Scottish voice - its SEAN!! If its a commercial, you are guaranteed to be grinning by the end - well for all the ones that are designed to be humourous anyway!! He can turn a plain commercial into something worth watching time and time again. Its the same with any serious role he may have - he seems to give every role a hundred and ten percent every time and you can tell he's doing what he loves best.
When I first discovered the internet a few years ago, I eagerly scoured every corner of the World Wide Web looking for an Interceptor web site. Disappointed that one didn't yet exist, I decided to create my own. During the last two years I have enjoyed receiving a steady stream of e-mails from people who remember and enjoyed watching Interceptor as much as me.
It came as quite a surprise the first time Sean signed the guestbook on my site. You can imagine the shock then, when Sean called me at home last December offering me the opportunity of creating a web site for him.
Well, that's the story. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks to Lee Redmayne and Lee Beckett for beta testing this site throughout its development.

Site History

Sunday 14th December 2003 :

Finally, keep watching this site as it will be undergoing a redesign over the coming months, with more photographs and more features.

Saturday 21 April 2001:

Sean O'Kane news page has been updated. This site has moved to a new host. It shouldn't make any difference to visitors to the site, however if you do notice any problems please report them to chris at seanokane.com. Thank you.

Friday 31 December 1999:
All movies have now been replaced with smaller RealVideo versions. In addition, several new movie clips are now available for download. The original higher quality full screen MPEG clips are still available via e-mail.

Wednesday 15 September 1999:
Two new pictures added to the `Commercials` section - check the first two thumbnails.
I've been experiencing problems with the file servers which host the movies for this site. To cure the problems, all movie downloads will now open in a new browser window. Some browsers may begin to play the movie as soon as the first data is received. If this happens you may notice that the movie is jumpy or playing extremely slowly - simply wait for the movie to download completely before pressing play again. Your movie playback software should allow you to save the file to your hard drive if you wish to do so.
This work is still in progress but should be completed by the end of this week.

Thursday 6 May 1999:
Agent address updated.
Sean O'Kane news page updated.

Saturday 17 April 1999:
New movie added - Nestle Jive commercial.
The new domain name has been causing a few formatting problems with various browsers - images not centred in Internet Explorer, and a thin white line at the foot of the screen with Netscape browsers. The naming company are looking into a fix - in the meantime, you will only see the text www.seanokane.com in your browsers URL window on the first screen. Subsequent screens will show the real URL, however the formatting will be correct.
