I’m getting freeview in my bedroom in March, then I can get it in basically every room, Maybe I should turn them all on for the new Red Dwarf episodes, hear it from many different angles.

‘Battlefield’ is on order for me, I tried and tried getting it from WhSmiths and ASDAs but lo luck. Now I have to wait till tommorow atleast.
I think ‘Genesis of the Daleks’ and ‘Trial of a Time Lord’ should be put in that list, two of the best stories. I would also mention Big Finish Audios but I wouldn’t want to overflow Marleen (If you are interested ‘Jubilee’ and ‘Medicinal Purposes’ are brilliant)

Should you also include Red Dwarf? “You’re good friends with the Hitlers?” as well as his special guest appearance in ‘Time Slides’

I think Heil Honey I’m Home would have had an audience, no matter how controversial, infact it could have been the controversial aspect that attracted people. One major problem I feel is that it attracts the wrong audience, it attracts people who talk like “roflmao hitler is so cool” when it really had jokes in the first episode that were quite intelligent yet they would be lost if it did get an audience on these idiots who watch it just because others don’t like it.
I do understand it is controversial but I did find it funny, not laugh a minute but still funny. Saying that I am glad it didn’t get made because inevitably it would attract the wrong audience which would just begin to make Nazi’s look “cool” to certain people.
If you have seen some of the pieces in newspapers in the 1930s it is obvious that Hitler was a thing to poke fun at, this was a modernisation of that, the thing is when they were poking fun in the 1930s the horrors of the war were not apparent.
