Thanks Em,
I had a little browse myself but it certainly didn't look like anything startling had been commenced. Admittedly, I am also presently on dial-up, but next week I will be on broadband (100-200 times faster! Yippee),and will have a more substantial prowl. I wonder if Phil Cornwell and/or John Seesions have their own blogs etc somewhere...
Regards, Steve

The reason I have had my interest rekindled in the show is that I took the plunge and ordered the first 3 series on DVD from the UK which I have received just today, and have already watched series 1 again. A flashback to 9 or 10 years ago when I was smoking dope (no way these days!!) and I channel-surfed over to SBS where Michael Caine, Joe Pesci et al were holding fort. Due to my chemically induced state, I really had to wonder if I was imagining it all!! As Joe would say, "What the f*ck is going on here??"

I was so excited when the movie was coming out (direct to DVD over here), but was very disappointed due to my expectations being so high from the show. In fact, its just a collection of skits, some of which were repeated from the series, and I so wanted it to succeed with Phil and John becoming huge stars in recognition of their brilliance.. . I'm afraid Ronni Ancona detracted from the main actors as well.
