Craig Charles – Television and Movie Store on Saturday, April 18 from 10am Norwich

Cool. Who’s going?

?So, Craig, what do you think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre??

It’s mostly pedestrianised already and has been for years due to the many tiny streets and the like.

I thought last time I went there Dixons was shut. Maybe that was Bury St Edmunds.

Nine. Nine-and-a-half. Te..te..ll you what, tell you what it’s nine-and-a-half thousand pounds.

This is good this. Even if we are just basically listing Partridge quotes.

Pray, silence please, for the Electric Light Orchestra.

Quotes From the Norwich Evening News…

Mr Charles, who also plays Lloyd Mullaney in Coronation Street, said: ?The new episodes are different, it has moved on and it’s kind of a 21st century Red Dwarf.”
?When we started doing them we were a bit unsure about it, but now I don’t know whether I prefer this or the original ones – they’ve all got their own merits. But now I’m here, I think they are some of the best we have ever done. It’s amazing that so many people are here today. We have never understood why it’s as popular as it is – when you are inside its hard to understand.?

The visit was not the first time the actors have been to Norwich. Mr Charles said: ?I’ve been to Norwich to do stand up years ago, and I love it here, it’s a lovely looking city.?

Mr Llewellyn added: ?I’ve been here for exactly the same reasons, I’ve worked here before. I remember that I went to a science fiction bookshop called Kulture Shock years ago.?

More than 200 fans queued to meet the actors before the doors opened.

Anne Donegan, 12, a Hewett School pupil from Norwich, said: ?I’ve come to get some stuff signed. I only started watching Red Dwarf about a week ago because my mum got the DVDs, but I really liked it and thought it was funny.?

The Evening News presented the stars with Norwich goodie bags on their visit, which contained a copy of the Evening News, a bar of Caley’s chocolate, a Norwich City Football Club bookmark or notebook, a jar of Colman’s mustard and some postcards of the city.

Mr Charles said: ?Excellent, we are sorted for the day! Chocolate – that’s lunch.?

Mr Llewellyn said of his Norwich City notebook: ?I am meeting Stephen Fry soon, do you think this is something I should put on the dashboard of my car when I give him a lift, would that go down well with him??

> a jar of Colman?s mustard and some postcards of the city.
