New Robert Llewellyn DVD! News Posted by John Hoare on 1st October 2005, 02:06 Ooops. We’re way behind, aren’t we? Sorry – been busy and all that – but we’ll try harder. Anyway, according to Robert Llewellyn on his guestbook (take a leaf out of Chris Barrie’s book Rob, there’s a bag of chips in it for yer) he’s got a new independent DVD in development, which is shooting soon and will have EXTRAS. (See our review of Woman Wizard – this should be good.) He’ll have an update soon, apparantly. He’s also promised a couple of podcasts he’s made. Excellent – I don’t think he’s updated the site in ages. A common problem with Flash sites. Oh, and he’s writing another book, too. Don’t forget that Scrapheap Challenge is currently on Sundays @ 5:30pm on Channel 4. (Which reminds me: has anyone got this?) The good news is that, Rob says the series has been getting “bloody amazing viewing figures”. So, y’know, excellent. He’s also just got back from 2 and a half weeks shooting for Scrappy Races Rally Marathon, to be broadcast next year. In not-related-to-Red-Dwarf-at-all news, the new series of QI started last night, with the letter C. So watch out for it on Thursdays @ 10:00pm on BBC TWO, with the next episode (repeated on TWO the following week) following straight after on BBC FOUR. I suppose you want us to report scheduling news before the series actually starts next time, yes?
“In its third year, “Scraphead Challenge” is one of Channel 4’s most successful Sunday evening series” – from the amazon review. I wonder if this is an actual mistake or just the amazon person having a laugh wit demself. I like the fact that one of the real reviewers says why is Robert wasting his time presenting TV shows when he’s so funny and talented.

Its ratings are very good for that timeslot. > I like the fact that one of the real reviewers says why is Robert wasting his time presenting TV shows when he’s so funny and talented. Yeah, the twat. Going off and making things he enjoys and is interested in. That Chris Barrie better stop doing those documentaries and do another series of A Prince Among Men pretty sharpish.
