h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Do you think we could get PK to be in the Queen Vic at the same time as Mark does his farewell explosion?

Got to go

Enjoyed speaking to you all today.
Off to spend evening dreaming of PK in skimpy outfits.

It's all too much......

PK in Queen Vic explosion shocker?!
I think aonemantidalwave can handle that...the b**** hasn't had any work for years!

The programme in quesiton was on pretty recently - it may even be scheduled for another series for all I know!

I never watched a whole episode but it was themed around PK and that Trevor git having to look after their grandchildren.

Now I remember it. God it was drastic ... What was it called again ?

Yeah!!!
I mean I never watched it but I think I know what you're talking about...it's BBC isn't it?
Which casting director came up with that partnership? I can see the meeting now...
Casting guy:"Hey! I Got IT!!! Why don't we get the snotty neighbour outta the Good Life and the sherry swilling t**l out of No Place Like Home- I'm seeing BIG viewing figures people!!!"
Boss: You're fired!
Casting Guy: Fair Enough, I'll go pitch it to the BBC...they'll show anything!

Yep, got it in one! Having consulted with the great imdb - it was called...

Next of Kin

I got it . It was called Next of Kin. PK was the grannie who had to bring up her son/duaghter's kids.

Of course it bl**dy was...God, you know its the end times when shows like that get commissioned in the first place THEN get a prime time slot THEN get a second series made!
Get down on your knees and pray people...the apocolypse is coming and its led by minor celebrities.

It was probably the same casting director who thought it would be a good idea to remove all the remotely funny people from the Hi De Hi cast and put them i a 'New' series called 'You Rang My Lord' and then when that bit the dust - simply set it on a Railway line and plumb the further depths of including some of the still alive cast of On the Buses

Fortunately I never actually saw the latter as the taste police for once actually saved my bacon.

Paul Shane
Su Pollard
Jeffrey Holland
Ruth Madocs
4 Horsemen of the Apocolypse...I TOLD YOU!

Hi-de-Hi,dude. Hi-de-f*****g-Hi
(Depressed sigh, stares out window, tear emerges from corner of eye)

my apologies - my previous post may have led to the belief that the above name may have been funny at some point.

I should of course have said that they removed all the remotely funny people from the cast list of H* D* H* and then let the *remainder* move on to those aforementioned 'comedies'.


Anyone else having severe trouble posting here at the moment or what?

Yeah I am havig a lot of difficulty.

Gotta Go anyway. Catch up tomorrow.

See Ya.

Flanker.

Yeah dude!
Posting on here at the mo is like trying to tighten a screw with a maggot...if you get my meaning (cos I'm not sure if I do.)
I used to watch You Rang M'Lord i must confess...wasn't the girl who was carrying on with Jeffrey Holland (you know the rich one), wasn't she vaguely attractive, I seem to remember her sister was a lesbian.
...still wasn't funny though.

Bye Flankster!
I mean the Girl was rich, not Jeffrey Holland...he was the one who wasn't Paul Shane.

Dunno, never watched it sufficiently to have remembered details like that...

'tis how I still retain some sanity

Oh-Man!
Caught in a trap!
Admitting to know far more about You Rang M'Lord!!!

...but at least it was better than (deep breath) THE UPPER HAND!!!

Hmmm - rings a bell...

*goes off to look it up*

Upper Hand?
English version of equally worthless sitcom Who's the boss?
Upper hand with Joe McGann?
and the young girl off of T-Bag?
And Pussy Galore herself Honor Blackman?

Best save this gem for tomorrow...I'm heading back to the underground supervillian lair.
Good Night
Sleep Tight.
Don't let the Penelope Keiths bite!!!
