Maid Marian Is Sooo Brill!! News Posted by John Hoare on 7th March 2011, 04:07 Well, that’s what 80s/90s BBC kids magazine Fast Forward thought – and who are we to argue with them, eh, readers?!?!?! Yes, I thought it was high time I popped back up and dished out my usual collection of dodgy scans. (When my friend said that to me back in 1997, I was altogether more excited.) Luckily, I had an excellent time rummaging through an old box. (When my friend said that to me back in 1997, I was altogether more excited.) First, we have an article from Issue 62, dated November 14th 1990 – just before the second series aired. Secondly is an article from Issue 172, dated January 9th 1993 – just in time for Series 3: Wouldn’t I do anything to see the advertised behind-the-scenes look at the series on Going Live! – if only it’d been dug out for the DVDs. However, I am too busy shaking in rage at the use of “councillor” instead of “counsellor”. THE BBC IS TO BLAME FOR THE STATE OF OUR GENERATION’S SPELLING. Luckily, I haven’t scanned you the Phillip Hodson’s problem page, with the tale of a teenager getting a “funny feeling in my tummy”, going upstairs, grabbing her teddy bear, and hugging it until she gets a “tingling sensation”. I did that back in 1997.
“She’s back…and she’s wearing a hat!” It wouldn’t have entered my head as an 8-year-old but right now, in the words of Keith Lemon, I’d wear her like a hat!! :P I remember Robin used to really do my head in. I used to get so mad over how stupid and wet he was lol.
loved the series – make metal note again that I need the dvds. I had those Fast Forwards – you bastards!!1!11! was it them or the Young Telegraph that had the cast meeting real life kids from Worksop (I’d thought the show had made the place up /facepalm ) Anyone have scans / reprints of the Young Telegraph comic strip. IIRC was based on the series with little extra gags – they did the plot of Marrian having to pretend to be normal because of her relative coming to stay. Fast Forward talked to Danny about Red Dwarf & props – showed a replica head of him. I remember him wearing a Caterpillar brand cap, and thinking he’d got one saying Cat specially think I’ve still got that stuck in the back of my Doctor Who scrap book (I was @ 12 ok) and one year Sylvester Mccoy invented a game called Smackbotty lol *raises eyebrow*
Worksop (I’d thought the show had made the place up /facepalm ) Not alone there, I was between 5 – 10 when MM was on, and i just thought they just couldn’t spell Workshop, and stuck with it! Seriously.
