Someone, somewhere must have uploaded End of Part One to the net by now. I’ve tried, believe me, but without a UKNova or TheBox login, I think I’ve hit a dead end. If anybody does have an idea where I can either download some episodes or obtain a bootleg, it’d be great. There’s a couple of bits on YouTube, but nothing approaching complete programmes…
And first up, a heartly welcome back to Robin Carmody, who has a new blog. No joke - while I know he’s an acquired taste, I’ve always loved reading his unique take on children’s telefantasy, pop music, and British politics. Hurrah for 2009 already!
Well, I can tell Aardman exactly where the ‘leaked’ clips came from. The whole episode of A Matter of Loaf and Death was broadcast in Australia two months ago (and in HD, no less), and is happily all over the torrent networks. Though I wonder whether the report is more about the BBC trying not to reveal that their Christmas Day premiere has been gazumped.
It may finally kill off the Hallelujah cover industry…and thus we’re all winners.
I find it somewhat amusing that in order to guarantee me getting a copy of Phonogram: The Singles Club #1, I’m going to be picking it up from a comic shop 5,000 miles away from where I am now.
Bless Chapel Hill Comics and all who sail in her! Admittedly, I won't be able to read it for a month, but as Kieron says it has been under-ordered, better to be safe than sorry. (so yes, if you do see it in the shops tomorrow - do grab it while you can)I wonder how many copies of Virgin Killer could be rounded up for a mass posting to the Internet Watch Foundation’s offices?
Actually, thinking about it, isn't the IWF the group that will be handling the overseeing of the 'extreme images' monitoring when it comes in next year? That's going to be fun.Is using The Flaming Lips’s Do You Realize? sending out the right happy notes? Really?
