He was also in that excorable film The Actors, with Michael Caine. And wasn't he in Run, Fatboy, Run?

Yeah, and Shaun Of The Dead; I don't think he's ever going to be a movie star! It would be good to see him set up a new TV project though; I'm a big Black Books and How Do You Want Me? fan.

I prefered How Do You Want Me to Black Books.

Sorry Aaron but you must surely realise you can't get away with that one.

It's an argument for not writing another EPISODE, let alone another series, once you've managed a single half hour's worth of entertainment.

The argument surely revolves around whether there is any comedic scope left in the basic idea/setting etc. If so, then you have to question why it doesn't happen... and then all kinds of factors like, as mentioned, 'not having his heart in it' or as I maintain, 'arrogance', come in.

No, I think I still did get away with it.

Why is that arrogant? Please explain in words of one syllable or less.

I didn't mean you, you big shaggable bear.

I could say the same about you Zooo apart from the fact you're the spitting image of David Tennant. Who am I kidding, you can stick your sonic screwdriver in my honey pot any time. (There's something wrong with that statement. I think it's a tunnel and trains thing)

Okkkayyyyyyyyyyyy... Errr

... and I think I must defer to the administrator's right to insist on having the last word, irrespective of right or wrong..!

Damn straight. ;)
