Geek Chase! News Posted by John Hoare on 6th October 2006, 11:21 It's Friday lunchtime, it's TOS update time. OK, take it away, Andrew. Norm's Manchester dates? Covered. 2007 calendar? Short version: you can buy it in the shops now, but wait until next week and buy it from the Global Calendars site - you'll get a free screensaver.

John’s Newsround – 26/9/06 News Posted by John Hoare on 26th September 2006, 01:20 I shall regret for the rest of my life saying there'll be no more roundup-type-things. Forget my error in thinking that the best way to get a woman off was by seeing how many of my fingers I could get inside her - this is the real embarrassment. But onwards to what TOS updated with last Friday, and let's try to forget my red face. And sticky fingers. Read more →

DVD Roundup – 8/9/06 News Posted by John Hoare on 8th September 2006, 11:50 So, TOS announces today (that's today! Not two weeks ago!) that Series III comes out in France on September 13th - new menus, re-mastered eps (particuarly pointless when it comes to Series III, but never mind - I've gone on about it long enough) and missing the odd extra like the commentaries and raw model footage. Presumably sales have held up despite Series 1's "All his mates were French". Read more →
