Rob Grant – Forbidden Planet signings News Posted by Seb Patrick on 15th December 2006, 10:53 Forbidden Planet is delighted to announce a signing with Rob Grant. He will be signing his new book FAT (Gollancz - Special Offer Price £8.99) at the Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2 H 8JR on Saturday 6th January 1 - 2pm. Marvellous! FP's own website, meanwhile, also tells us that he'll be in Bristol on Thursday 11th - although, annoyingly, it's between 2-4pm, so those of you with JOBS won't be able to make it. Which seems rather daft, really. UPDATE : Word now reaches us from TOS that there's actually a full-blown tour in the works. Check out the dates over there - and note that in addition to the FP signing (where you'll queue for ages to see him for about thirty seconds), there's going to be a ticketed event at Waterstone's, presumably including a reading and/or a Q&A...

Odd things you didn’t know Rob and Doug wrote for News Posted by John Hoare on 23rd November 2006, 09:31 Paul Squire, Esq. Nice to see Kim Fuller there too - and Nick Wilton (who starred in Son Of Cliché) as a writer! The thing is - even if we managed to get hold of the show, then finding out which bits the Comedy Police wrote would be tricky. But a proper account of their early sketch-writing days should really be written at some point. Read more →
Rob Grant’s Fat News Posted by John Hoare on 7th September 2006, 07:56 How many more times can we use that joke? I think we've got about 27 left before it stops being funny. Especially considering how we now tag news stories. Read more →

The Rob Grant Interview Features Posted by Jonathan Capps on 30th August 2004, 23:00 Since the split of the writing partnership of Grant Naylor, Rob Grant has most certainly been the quiter of the two. TV series of 'The Strangerers' and 'Dark Ages' were fairly low profile but his books 'Backwards', 'Colony' and 'Incompetence' received critical acclaim. The sad absence of Rob from the DVDs has been rectified in small amount thanks to his recent appearance on Comedy Connections and now Rob has kindly agreed to an interview with The White Hole, talking about the past present and future of his career. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 'crunchy half' of Grant Naylor... Read more →
