G'day from downunder,
Well my name is Michael Fox, I'm 21yo and I work fulltime at
Fairfax Publications in Sydney, Australia. I too use to love watching
Press Gang. Infact I would never miss it. I'd be sitting there every day
at 5:30 waiting for the ABC to show it here in Sydney. And then all of a
sudden after a few months it was gone. They did promise to show some more
of it, in newer eposides, but I never did get to see them. I actually
liked the wit and charm of Lynda Day. She always had something to say
about something.
If anyone out there would like to email personally, I'd be interested in
emailing someone on a regular basis just like a penpal, if I was writing.
Regards,
Michael Fox.

Dear All ,
Well - where to start ? Here goes .... My name is Sally Cockerton
, I'm 20 years old and a student at the University of Leeds in England . I
first watched 'Press Gang' years and years ago - at the very beginning . I'd
almost conmpletely forgotten the brilliance of the programme until I was
amazed to find a web page dedicated to it . Since then I've re-watched any
eps I still have on tape (I taped the earlier eps on Beta video - it was
that long ago !) and remembered just how excited I used to get at 4.45pm
every thursday at the start of a new episode . Initially I liked 'Press
Gang' for Lynda's sarcastic wit , but then found many other aspects of the
show that were great and I was hooked!!
One scene that always make me laugh is in 'Bad News' (4th seies ) when Colin
uses Lynda and Spikes personal lives to promote the paper . His line :
' Look someone gonna do a biggy on this story , ata least if it's us
it will be done with tact , taste , and descretion - with free Spike and
Lynda dolls !!! '
is a classic - it makes me howl with laughter every time .
Anyway nuff said about me , I want to know about my fellow PG fans .
Who are you ????? Why do you like PG ?? etc
Bye for now ,
Sally
