Father of Son of Cliché
Yes, it's true! After being disregarded for many years, in favour of the much more sucessful sequel, Clich� is to be repeated on BBC7! This is wonderful, incredible, marvellous news. The fun starts this Wednesday (the 10th) at 2pm, with a repeat at 9pm. You can get BBC7 through almost all digital telly services, as well as on DAB digital radio and via the website.
Ta muchly to Darrell Jones for letting us know about this. You're a star.
UPDATE (10/9/03 - by John Hoare): More schedule details (all at 2pm with a repeat at 9pm):
| Episode | BBC7 tx date | Original R4 tx date | BBC7 Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wednesday 10th September 2003 | Monday 16th March 1981 | Before Red Dwarf, there was Rob Grant's and Doug Naylor's sketch show. With Nick Maloney and Carole Hayman. |
| 2 | Thursday 11th September 2003 | Monday 23rd March 1981 | Rob Grant's and Doug Naylor's sketch show, starring Carole Hayman, Nick Maloney, Simon Molloy and Brian Southwood. |
| 3 | Friday 12th September 2003 | Monday 30th March 1981 | More sketches courtesy of the writing talents of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. Today, Christopher Columbus and the Laughing Bank. |
| 4 | Monday 15th September 2003 | Monday 6th April 1981 | Sketch show from 1981 featuring Carole Hayman, Nick Maloney, Simon Molloy and Brian Southwood. |
| 6 | Tuesday 16th September 2003 | Monday 20th April 1981 | Sketch show from 1981 featuring Carole Hayman, Nick Maloney, Simon Molloy and Brian Southwood. |
We're just assuming they're playing the episodes in order, although this isn't guaranteed, of course. They're all being recorded by special people with special wires, so expect them on a sever somewhere near you soon. And don't ask us why what we presume to be episode 6 is on on the 23rd...
And if you missed it, or want a recording, the combined magic of Cappsy of White Hole and "I've got a bloody nice personal server" fame, and Nik Horne of "being bloody good with a set of wires" fame, will have something for you shortly...
ADDITIONAL (13/9/03): As you can see, the schedule has changed slightly. Thanks to Darrell Jones and Nik Horne for clarifying the new schedule. Why they're suddenly not playing an episode on the 23rd, and where episode 5 has gone, we have no idea.
Comments archive
Owing to a complete technical disaster when updating (don't ever try to update an article when someone else is doing the same - it brings MISERY and PAIN), the comments FUCKED UP. Here is an archive of the old responses. How professional.

I fear the worst - I think some episodes might have been wiped / gone walkies, which is a shame if it's true.

I'm going to e-mail the BBC tomorrow, so hopefully we should have an answer...

E-mailed them yesterday. Will do an article when I've got a reply.
