  • Busytown: Front, man,

    Where did that guy GO?

    A basketball scholarship, I presume. As you say, never heard from again except, perhaps, as the partial inspiration for this guy.

    How can I have never seen that episode?

    Personally, I was always haunted by the "disappearance" of brother Chuck.

    She's just the PR representative. The executives should have known to take control of this issue themselves, IMO.

    Phil Judd and the Bats.

    A great group, they were.

  • Hard News: Yet More Hobbit,

    I'd love to see some figures on what BBC Wales has done for Cardiff tourism in the last five years or so.

    A week with Smithy and Nessa, you reckon?

    No they couldn't. This hasn't been on on weekdays in a long time. I'm not even sure it lasted a full month after Sunrise's cancellation.

    Yeah, that's part of the joke, Graeme. :)

    That said, I watched it twice about 5 or 8 weeks ago, but that was more like 9 or 10am.

    I'd love to know to what extent people watch Breakfast because they'll watch anything that's on at that time though.

    They could watch Magnum P.I. on 3, if they wanted.

    Seriously though, are we seeing a tipping point for the model that has dominated TVNZ thinking for the past 20 years?

    Hmm... not yet. Rick Ellis yesterday could have, IMO, clarified that Brotherston's statement was an unusual lapse; accurate, per se, but not at all relevant - in fact, specifically not relevant.

    The odd idea that has escaped from the collective braincage; namely that TNNZ's position is that "We're all thinking that Anand Satyanand* is not really a New Zealander, though he was born in Grey Lynn in 1944, but are too scared to say it out loud because then other people would know that we are straight-out racists" needs to be dispelled.

  • Cracker: Choons,

    Maybe not the greatest version, but name anyone who beats Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sam Cooke. Nevertheless, it's cool enough.
