Picking on Bob Spiers? .... let me at 'im ;)
... and as a long term BritCom addict and (thus) fan of Bob Spiers work I
have to say - does anyone else find it slightly annoying that the guy (and
people like Julia S, Jennifer Saunders ...) can be working his butt off for
nigh-on a generation in Britain, but a show like AbFab makes it big and
suddenly (as far as the media is concerned) it's the first thing anyone
involved has done? (I often suspect that that is one of the reasons why
Jennifer Saunders stopped making it).
...or maybe I just need to get my Lithium prescription refilled :)
Murray, who finished an email half an hour ago by saying he desperately had
to get to sleep, but still hasn't quite managed it.
PS - In case you're wondering, Im not anti AbFab - I was a fan from the
start (and indeed was involved in trying to get an Australian fan club
running on the 'net many many moons ago).
