British Comedy Guide

Hello everyone!

Hi to everyone...
Stumbled upon this site from Digital Spy, and it looks a great alternative to discuss sitcoms (DS you tend to get the "I must prove him wrong" brigade everyday Rolling eyes )

My name is Tex, and Im an writer/journalist (TV books and articles) got a book coming out in a few weeks about Man About the HOuse and George and MIldred.

Anyway, nice to be here.
Cheers! Wave

Welcome!

How did you stumble on us from Digital Spy?

Well there was a thread I was watching on George&Mildred on digital spy, and I lost the link, so Googled it and found this site underneath in the results. I suppose I stumbled from Google, but DS is the root cause of all this stumbling! ;)

Rather exciting myself about seeing the book in print. First one (of many with a bit of luck) only done newspaper articles freelance in the past, so nice to dedicate some more time to a writing project.

I know someone in Texas named Britt, so I guess we're even.

Only when someone is paying to read it!
Im an honourable sir btw, the woman next to me in my avatar is Vicki Michelle. :)

So it is! Ace.

And it's in the site rules I'm afraid, so consider payment made. :P

Hey Tex! :) Welcome to a fellow Londoner... although I've only been here 3 years.

Howdy Tex,

Will look for your book when it's out. Hope you are going to stay around for a while and pass on some of your knowledge Wave
