Well my 'eloquent and insightful' rep didn't last long.
Nah Aaron likes Green Wing more than Love Soup so he is deliberately obfuscating - he does it a lot at this time of night 
Well the end of my first day on this forum and I have a DVD on the way with 2 interesting pieces on it. What a helpful and considerate lot you are. And once again many thanks to Alan Cornforth. Cheers!
Oo, that reminds me...

Many people confuse me with Santa Claus - it's the grey beard and red nose 
He has a white beard!
You sir, have been sitting on the knee of a dirty tramp.
Was anyone else (of a certain age) reminded of Follyfoot at the end?
Whatever happened to Dora? (NOT the explorer)

Not recently I assure you 
I must have been thinking of Gandalf 
No doubt someone else has mentioned this, either in the forum or in the main BSG pages, but I saw a BBC press release today:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2008/06_june/03/jonathan_creek.shtml
...that announced that a new Jonathan Creek special is being made, with Sheridan Smith (Cleo from Love Soup) as Jonathan's latest girl helper. Can't wait...haven't heard "Danse Macabre" in way too long!

I read that. I tried to report it here on the BSG News, but Mark rejected it.

BAH!
What's wrong with that?
I thought you liked her!

What was his reasoning? That silly boy. He's never even watched Jonathan Creek. It is comedy!

Yeah, she's ok, but I just don't like the idea of her as another new sidekick/companion type.
DAMN YOU CAROLINE QUENTIN. DAMN YOU!

That was his main reasoning - claiming it wasn't a comedy. However, it was nominated "Best Comedy Drama" at the British Comedy Awards in 1999 and 2004.

Actually, although I admit I was a bit clueless whether it was a comedy, I was in grumpy and ruthless editor mode because I actually thought it was old news 
(I first heard about the re-make last week I think it was)
Anyway, I welcome this new one-off special because I might finally get around to watching an episode now! I very much like Renwick's writing so I'm a bit embarrased I've not seen Jonathan Creek yet.
