John's Roundup - 7/6/04
Round-up time. Something substantial tomorrow, hopefully, including the Newsround.
It's crappy movie rumour of the month:
Monday 26th April 2004: Red Dwarf: The Movie Update:
Just received word that Red Dwarf creators Doug Naylor and Rob Grant will have cameo appearances in the movie. Also signed up for small roles are former Kryten Actor David Ross and former Holly Actress Hattie Hayridge.
I perhaps could have entertained the possibility of the other three (especially Hattie), but surely the Rob Grant one is a load of bollocks? Besides:
<IanIanSymes> I don't trust any source that thinks "actor" is a proper noun. <mumoss> And I don't trust any site that gives Rob Grant as a writer.
Oh dear. Well, we have to cover this one, I suppose. The White Hole has had to remove all its downloads; read their news article for the full story, and see this NOTBBC thread for further discussion. Not that we're trying to avoid bringing up another argument on this site. Honest. Wah, wah, wah.
Oh, and apparently Janet Street-Porter brought Red Dwarf to the BBC. And here was me thinking it was Peter Ridsdale Scott, with the only contribution Janet making is being silly over Gunmen.
And finally, thanks to Tanya, for pointing us towards how much Chris Barrie earns for after-dinner speaking. He would appear to be in the First Division of £5000 - £9000; lower than Jeremy Clarkson. But at least higher than Eddie Large.
Oh, and really finally, some late-breaking news from Austin Ross:
<mumoss> Oh: the movie crew page on TOS has to change at some point this month... <Austin> Unless Doug has bought both a rabbit and a large hat, and thought of putting the two together. <Austin> And then taking them apart, obviously. <Austin> Well, taking the rabbit out of the hat. If he took a rabbit apart, I don't think I'd like him anymore.

Shame about the White Hole downloads, but then again, the stuff is copyrighted. I dunno, I forgot to read my "law-and-order-in-the-world-of-rich-bbc-executives" book again. darn. ;)

I never thought I'd genuinely hate GNP, but they really are acting like a bunch of bastards these days. Commiserations Cappsy.

Cheers but we still don't know it was anyone from GNP. I hope to find out soon though.
It could well have been some other meddling fool who wanted to piss me off.

WHO'S THE DADDY?

Yes, I like the way people assume that this is GNP. It probably *isn't* - they've known about it for a while, and haven't done anything. Why now?

Ah well, it's all swings and roundabouts. I've just this minute read about Howard Goodall and the Series VI DVD and I'm back to being one very happy Red Dwarf fan!

Wait a minute...
7/6/04?
Posted by Ian Symes at May 7, 2004 06:01 PM
Yes. Tomorrow we'll be looking at clocks and the time.
Posted by Cappsy at May 7, 2004 06:03 PM
In other words. Ian, you've really confused me.
Posted by Cappsy at May 7, 2004 06:04 PM
Indeed - it could be BBC Worldwide that are doing all this shutting down. As GNP have known for years about all of this stuff, maybe BBC Worldwide just haven't been paying attention.
After all, the copyright belongs to the BBC, NOT GNP.

Look what John's put in the headline. The big stupid yellow idiot.

Chris Barrie is the same as Tony Hawks but more than Neil Hamilton.

Yes Joey. Erm. :)

John's about to be an uncle. Give him a bit of slack, the bloody fool.
Posted by Tanya Jones at May 7, 2004 08:34 PM
I can't give him slack, because I'm too tight.
(That doesn't even scan, does it)
Posted by Darrell Jones at May 7, 2004 08:36 PM
I'm an uncle already :D
