I remember this chap in a guest appearance in The Good Guys, where an insane dwarf was trying to bite his goolies! He was playing a tv executive. I so loved The Good Guys.

Who took the external camera shots? o.O Does Robert have a secret helper elf we don't know about? Maybe a scutter lol.

the US in 2010 had an arts budget that amounted to less than $1 billion. the military budget was over $600 billion. that should provide a small hint on how we might fix the funding situation without predictable advertisement consumption.

Good news, our dvd's are mostly RD.

How about someone from Rutland on the SKD 18 for the London 2012?

Wacko Jacko is far more relaxed, when he's not in the production seat!

Bobby there was a TED talk recently about the topic of intellectual property and how some industries flourish without it - such as the Fashion industry, where copying one another (without credit) is accepted and even expected. It seems to force the industry to innovate. Anyway although it sounds like a dry topic, it was actually very interesting. Have a watch watch?v=zL2FOrx41N0

I was originally going to email you this idea but you should try and give Rik Mayal and Ade Edmonson a lift if you haven't already :P

I knew all about the credit crunch in the Uk, obviously, how could anyone miss it. But I alwaysed imagined the BBC as infalible. Seems a bit foolish now I think about it. On another note, If the BBC offered shows globely over the internet but with Sponsors, commercials, ads, whatever... I would so watch.

Fascinating and I live in the States. I watch more Britcoms than American tv. I HATE reality tv because it is awful. We cut our cable to solely watch dvd's. Shame!

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

I'm in UK and I hardly ever watch TV anymore. It is rubbish. It's either downright crappy reality TV and what isn't is plain garbage. I'm only interested in the news and even that I can access via the net. And programmes I do fancy watching (very rarely) I can watch on catch-up on the channel's website anyway. The only thing I use my TV for now is for my console games. And we dumped our cable too.
