Par exemple, un personnage récurrent dans une série peut donner naissance à un «spin-off». Il y a de nombreux exemples pour l'illustrer : Buffy contre les vampires et Angel, Dallas et Côte Ouest ou encore Sarah et La vie à cinq. En général, ce type de rapport entre deux séries donne souvent naissance à des «cross-over». 2, record 3, French, - s%C3%A9rie%20d%C3%A9riv%C3%A9e

Dans le cas d'un feuilleton télévisé, -soit une trame segmentée en épisodes dont chacun est la suite du précédent- qui s'inspirerait d'un ou plusieurs personnages secondaires d'un précédent feuilleton, on utilisera alors le vocable «feuilleton dérivé». On réserve en effet le terme «série» à une succession d'histoires indépendantes ayant pour seul lien la présence d'un ou plusieurs personnages récurrents. 3, record 3, French, - s%C3%A9rie%20d%C3%A9riv%C3%A9e

serie derivada: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recomienda que el término inglés "spin-off" se traduzca por "serie derivada" en el ámbito televisivo. Asimismo, se aclara que cuando se opte por el término anglosajón "spin-off", este debe aparecer escrito con guión y en cursiva o entrecomillado. 1, record 3, Spanish, - serie%20derivada

In my view, there is a further investigation of whether the statements were freely and voluntarily made even if no hope of advantage or fear of prejudice could be found in consideration of the mental condition of the accused at the time he made the statements to determine whether or not the statements represented the operating mind of the accused.

À mon avis, il faut en outre, même lorsqu'on ne peut établir qu'il y a eu espoir d'un avantage ou crainte d'un préjudice, se demander si les déclarations ont été faites librement et volontairement, compte tenu de l'état mental de l'accusé au moment où il les a faites pour déterminer si elles reflètent l'état d'esprit conscient de l'accusé.
