That'll be cider, if the 'Magners' logos are to be believed.

Tch. Hairy-faced Judges.

A good few years back, BBC 2 had a series of cam-corder documentaries made by the people it featured. Of these, a transwoman by the name of Myka Scott explained why she'd undergone gender reassignment surgery and how she was finding her adjustment to life as a woman. Myka was formerly a stuntman until an accident resulted in severe burns, hence Joe Soap's complexion in the photo-strip.

>> To close I'd buy Joe Soap too, that one with the curry eater sitting on him and farting was a classic. I wonder if the photo strip actor still gets recognized.

Perhaps not as much since his sex change.

>> ...as I said Orson Welles -who was only 24 when he made Citizen Kane- went from his twenties till death in the film and quite convincingly.

Heh. I don't think I've ever been able to watch Citizen Kane in one sitting. Again, I don't recall being entirely convinced by Awesome Welles as the aged media magnate but then it has been years since I last fell asleep during the film.

I'm sure there must be some examples but I really can't think of any young actors that have aged convincingly on screen.

Tch. Pretending that the shite stories don't exist is even more childish than accepting they do.

Bloody Christ, that's Sean Maguire in the lead! That's some nosedive since the giddy heights of Grange Hill and ArseEnders.

Well, it was John Wagner who made that first step explicitly linking Judge Dredd to another strip.

Which reminds me. Has Balls of Fury had a UK release, yet?

Alberto Frog has lot to answer for.

I think I watched only three things on the Big Day itself.

10.15 (or more like 10.20ish when DumbLass and I hopped from which ever music channel was on to BBC 2): A repeat of one of David Dimbleby's How We Built Britain that turned out, by far, to be the best thing I saw.

18.50: There being nothing new from Eric and Ern this year, I plumped for Doctor Who: Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. Impressivley, I didn't start swearing at the screen until twenty minutes towards the end when I realized, it being a Crassmas spesh, that's how much longer my patience was going to be tested.

21.30: Then, for reasons best known to the Shepherds Neame and (as it turned out) the three not-so-wise men Zubrowka, Port, and Baileys, I decided to watch Love Actually while DumbLass more sensibly fell asleep.

>> Colin Baker's first season was nothing but recruiting guest stars who'd later do pantomime at Christmas

No. RTD recruits guest stars for his televised Christmas panto then makes them regulars in the following season.

>> comes right after the jack dont it?

Jack won an oscar?

>> blimey! what a palava over a bit of christmas panto...no its not going to win an oscar . . .

Completely missing the point that various people have made on this thread.
