Trailer Trash?
An appeal from Andrew Ellard. Yeah, he's appealing. That's the minority view. Et cetera. Anyway, the lad wants trailers. Apparantly, the results of his trawl through the archives have "not been great". Tsk. So, if you've got any trailers for Series V and/or VI, let him know. He doesn't want any continuity though, which either means they've already found some, or they don't want any. Shame - I've got all the continuity for VI right here. Oh, one last thing - you can only click on that link if you're a fan club member. The consequences of a non-member visiting the forum will be fatal. Or something. (Forum politics - sorry 'bout that.)
There was no newsround yesterday. Two reasons for this: 1) I was out; 2) we've already reported on the two items about which TOS updated. There was some new info, though: interviewees for the BBC TWO night and Comedy Connections. If there was one place I'd hope would be free of idiotic claims that Python was a BBC TWO show, it would be TOS. Are we really the only people who know that only six cunting episodes were first broadcast on the channel? It hardly "launched" Python, as TOS claims.
Christ, Weapons of a Massively Shit Title was poor, wasn't it? The only thing of interest was Craig Charles stealing Danny John-Jules's hair. Oh, and there was a Dwarf quote too - "a chap like you can turn a guy's head". And you saw a bit of the woman presenter's nipple at one point.
Comments
I have the first two seconds of the series 6 trailer. It may be required if someone's tape starts a bit late.
He's not fucking having it though.

What's continuity when it's at home?
Craig must have stuck on the beard, he usually claims he can't grow one. He thinks he's Danny John Jules now.

Continuity is the BBC2 idents before the show ("and now on BBC2, Red Dwarf, etc.") and the talking over the credits at the end ("and the crew will be back next week at nine o'clock, etc.").

Craig must have said 'weapons of mass distraction' about 37 times

"That's the minority view."
*A* minority view, you wanker. Into the airlock and git.

Symes is letting it slip. Better go force him to watch The Mysti Show

So, technically, seven episodes first broadcast on BBC2 - although one of them was one of the German shows. The first three series all on BBC1...
I really, really hope the actual 40th anniversary programmes don't make this mistake, or I'll cry.

Nice little piece mentioned in the article that Doug is still in Australia, doing movie stuff. Please, please, PLEASE something good happen...

It was painfully obvious that Mr. Charles was trying a little too hard on 'Weapons of Why Fuck Why'. He presented it totally different to Robot Wars and it seemed like he was playing a character rather than being a host (either that or he was off his tits...).
It should be an OK show, especially if that woman gets her tits out which she near enough did on Friday. I think you just have to be pissed to watch it.

I only saw about 15 mins but if that woman's tits didn't fall out at any point she deserves a medal. Craig really was trying too hard.

When they were both standing together doing their respective outros at the end, you could see Craig take at least 3 peeks down her cleavage. Not that I blame him, mind.
Other that that, it was a pile of shit. Haven't a clue who that comedian was but he died on his arse. Even at the very start he had to ask the audience twice if they were having a good time. Everytime he asked the audience a question, he didn't get a reply. And the jokes he did tell weren't funny. The guests were shit, an ex-Eastenders actor who no-one has heard anything about since he was killed off 2 years ago, and a nightclub owner who's only claim to fame is shagging Jodie Marsh who herself is a complete nobody. Craig's co-presenter only appeared to do and intro link, an outro link, to ask the same Beckham-related competition question 3 times, and to ask the nighclub owner one question.
And after that was "Blank Screen" which at no point in the programme had a total blank screen, just 10 seconds of a black screen with a 'Blank Screen' rotating DOG in the corner and an announcer saying "here comes the question!". Which, incidentally, was "Which sitcom did Craig Charles appear in?"

You did see a bit of nipple, you know.

Captain Butler. Everyone knows that.

From what i've seen of Charles' other stuff he seemed to take on his stand up persona. It's a shame he was totaly charmless and utterly unlikable in every way.

At the recording, if he screws up and says "Oh f*** I missed me line!", all is forgiven.

Also: Craig is fucking excellent in Ghostwatch.
