What was the show, on about the same time as Silas, about a German boy with a laser kept in a box round his neck. I seem to remember him living in a loft and there being a pig involved (Incidentally, the laser looked like a one-bar electric heater in a wooden pencil box)

That's the one (although I'm sure there was a pig in it a one point)!

what can i say??? every episode they try to stress that its a race against time for that vicar to get between services on the boat, but in reality no one cares if he's late... where are his 'loyal' fans going to go? i wonder if fraser was warned he was going to portrayed as the village idiot? i like fraser he's a nice man and he gets his kicks trying to get visitors as wet as possible on his open boat...so much so that those in the know put on a rain coat even on the nicest of summery days! cheeky yes, but stupid definitely not. they do a grand job of making the place look pretty tho...

If anyone's online right now: the Pete Burns/'Razor' Ruddock, Silverhill-set 'Celebrity Wife-Swap' is on Channel 4 again at the moment, and it's great!

Almost: Neil 'Razor' Ruddock & partner (model Leah Newman) live, as the programme says, "near Hastings" - His local pub is seen to be the Welcome Stranger. Cue - much digs at Hastings' expense from Pete Burns (resident of "London's trendy Notting Hill").

Co-incidental chain of tv events last Friday:
Channel-hopped past ITV's 'Moving Wallpaper' drama, in which an out-of-touch tv producer was asking his crew if any of them had heard of YouTube, and shouldn't their show ('Echo Beach') be referencing it to be hip. Straight over to Channel 4, and it's 'Rude Tube' - a hopeless selection of popular YouTube clips and virals, terribly hosted by Alex Zane. Then on BBC3, 'Lily Allen & Friends' - whose much-trumpeted web-interactive production had merely led to the exact same YouTube clips being trotted out (with the additional help of some of the, um, YouTube 'stars'). And her online audience voted for an appearance by The Metros (excreable) rather than Blood Red Shoes, huh! Still, despite the pre-show press reports claiming Allen's show to be a disaster, it was nowhere near as awful as the next prgramme on: Mike Skinner's 'Beat Stevie' - an absolute howler of bad music television. Remember when Lily Allen was being touted as the female Streets..?
Oh, and who saw the BBC's shameless 'East Enders' Doctor Who Convention episodes last week? Featuring such essential plot dialogue as "1968's 'The Invasion' was the first of the classic incomplete stories to be released on dvd with animated reconstructions of the missing episodes"... Ombudsman!

I realise that the horse has bolted, stable door and all that, but good to see Samantha Janus gainfully employed on Eastenders. Unsurprisingly Game On was oddly familiar in its first season!

last night we watched transexual in iran, very strange, worth a look on repeat.
from the adverts it looks like this weeks (friday 7.30) inside out will feature kaddy lee at the komedia(?), doing stand-up before lee.

Didn't see Lee on our edition of 'Inside Out'...
Oh, and the televised NME Awards last night: dismal (of course). Dimwit NME editor Conor McNicols introduced Manic Street Preachers, ahead of their Godlike Genius award, as "(a band who) captivated a generation of music journalists."! Mani summed up the event best, whilst presenting an award (with Bobby Gillespie), by comparing the atmosphere generated by the stony-faced, too-cool-for-school audience (all from the music industry) to "a Leonard Cohen B-side, at a snooker tournament. In fuckin' space... Shabba."

A revised repeat of the Kaddy/Komedia 'Inside Out' show is on BBC1 tonight at 7:30pm, at least over in this region, apparently...

...And indeed, 'Inside Out' was re-edited to focus on Brighton's contribution to stand-up comedy in Britain (Max Miller, seaside humour, etc), and included an interview with Lee. We did have the foresight to tape it, by the way.

We did have the foresight to tape it, by the way. Cool- would like to see that! Our version just focused on Kaddy and her comedic efforts. Which make me want to pull off my own face.

There was still a lot of Kaddy... Lee Hume ("Comedian") told an anecdote to her about how he'd done a comedy gig in Croydon and no-one laughed at all throughout his set* - which, of course, would leave an 'Inside Out' viewer with the impression that he's a rubbish comedian, unfortunately!
