DwarfWatch – Tonight News Posted by Tanya Jones on 10th July 2007, 07:08 First up, Robert Bathurst appears in a radio comedy, About A Dog, written by comedy legend Graeme Garden. Tune into Radio 4 at 6.30pm tonight for the first of the second series. Secondly, James May from Top Gear takes us through various 'big ideas' that were invented in the 20th Century in, er, James May's 20th Century, which, naturally, revolve around engineering. Isn't this Massive Engines in a slightly different guise, though? Looks entertaining enough, but Chris Barrie would have done just as well. Still, the BBC's big names have to earn a living somehow, and James May is doing it on BBC Two at 8.00pm. Read more →

John’s Lateround – 7/2/07 News Posted by John Hoare on 7th February 2007, 12:53 What happens when half of the G&T crowd get together for a long weekend? A Tikka Dwarfcast that institutes an argument between me and my loved one, jokes about coarse ginger fanny hair, and NO WORK. Still, late or not, we aim to be completist, so let's have a look at last week's TOS stuff. Read more →
