John’s Newsround – 29/8/05 News Posted by John Hoare on 29th August 2005, 18:13 I’ve just tried to link to http://www.tos.co.uk/. FFS. TOS stuff, then. The first piece is about various Dwarf showings around the world. All very well, but whilst the world showings are welcome, UK showings bore me rigid. (Insert crap joke here.) Dwarf has wonderful, wonderful DVD releases, and has been repeated to buggery. Can’t TV companies find something that isn’t readily available, and show that instead? Oh. Viewing figures. Right. Still, never mind – the planned Dwarf weekend on UKTV G2 in November including “more than you’d expect” sounds interesting… The other piece continues Dwarf fandom’s obsession with bad Czech puns. As for the release: nice menus, shame about the Re-masteredness or lack of extras. Hopefully they’ll get a version more akin to the standard R2s at some point. Oh, and their official site is great, just for the ep titles as much as anything else. Finally, all the idiots who write “Kryton” have an excuse… Oh, and it’s lovely that the site links to a fansite. She makes me wanna doing something. But I don’t know what it is. I just hope she’s legal, or I’m in rather a large amount of trouble.
I was actually making refernece to the accompanying picture, the subject of which has once again distracted me from the hard-hitting journalism that this site regularly produces. Incidentally, I managed to comment on this article before it was even posted which I believe deserves some recognition.
Incidentally, I managed to comment on this article before it was even posted which I believe deserves some recognition. Ah. That was what I was commenting on. I think this proves that I can’t do G&T and watch The Kenny Everett Television Programme at once. Which, dragging it back to the topic matter, they should show instead of Dwarf repeats…
The main thing making the Czech release superior is, of course, that the “I” on the front cover is TEH CORRECT SIZES to accommodate later numerals without discontinuital mayhem.
Looking forward to the DJ report. That makes my year. Without it, I would go mad. (Just in case you weren’t doing one, I hope you’re sufficiently emotionally blackmailed now).
No-one – I made the link go to http://www.reddwarf.co.uk so everyone knew what I was on about. The real http://www.tos.co.uk is one of those appalling sites where someone has bulk-bought domains in the hope of making money out of someone who wants it, and directs you to a shitty search engine in the meantime. The fucking cunts.
