I can't say I'm looking forward to it too much - I don't see how they can get much mileage out of some Scotch lad doing drawings on Microsoft Paint and banging on about writing letters to Tharg.

Who is playing Sandi Toksvig?

They can offset the cost of the foreign travel segments with repeated use of the same hospital set. And the wardrobe requirements are very limited.

But the catering costs will be horrific.

Not to mention the laundry bills.

To early to give specific details but we have Toby Jones as Anne Robinson, Jason Bateman as my cardiologist (he's a ringer!) and Sandra Bullock as the beautiful Irene.Season 1 Arc is to be 'To create a Beast' with 'Quizzing : First Class - the Weakest 15' followed by 'My Dinners with Irene' and a left field finale of 'The Jogging Dead'. Very excited.

A God walks among us! Hope all is going well Arthur and thanks for all the stunning pages down the years.

If only Look-In was still going - then Arthur could draw the comic strip adventures of the TV series, based on the comic strip.

Always nice when one of the comics great graces us with their presence, espacially someone as fantastic (and apparently very nice) as Mr Ranson. Thanks very much for popping by.

Welcome to the forum - I'm pretty sure TV development isn't as bad as movie development hell, so let's hope we have something before the decade is out ;-)

As others have said, thanks for so much great work over the years.  It's strange to say this as Brian created the original character (and there have been so many other great artists over the years) but yours is the definitive Anderson.

Pretty sure the first time I encountered your work was in the Goodies Book of Criminal Records - who thought you'd create such great comics based on that?

Today I received a 'Happy Holidays' gift of a leather pouch, notebooks and pen from Bad Robot.  That bodes well doesn't it?
