Nah, oddly Listen Again works for us scabarous non-Licence Payers.  TV is a no-go, but (thank the dear Laud Jeebus) Radio 4 is still beamed into the barbarian lands in attempt to bring calming liberalism to the unwashed.  Thanks for the link, CraveNoir.

Anyone have the delux slipcase set of Calvin and Hobbes?

I have the Far Side and Mad's Don Martin volumes and they're brilliant. However, I did hear Watterson changed a few of his cartoons to make them a bit more PC...

I've been interested in getting that slipcase set for quite some time - does anyone know how true the rumors are that Watterson changed the wording of several cartoons?

If this is true, I'll really have to wrestle with the idea of shelling out the cash for the books(s)...

Is it wrong that I want to kill Phil Jupitus for imagining Calvin as Kurt Cobain?

[Colin YNWA]

Wow we need to start a new thread "Goosebump moments in radio" the bit at the end were the song kicks and the bit right at the end "...lets go explore" brillant

(except the Kurt Cobain comment yuck - Calvin has to become one of us regular folk cos thats who we were)

[House of Usher]

I caught a chunk of that programme on the radio driving to work today, including the bit with Boo Cook and Matt Smith. Some interesting content.
