Help - I think I'll go and find a nice quiet corner to whimper in...

Did that one ever get going? I've a feeling that may have been one I
sent but my wretched e-mail fluffed up on me.

Seven years? That's not bad...I mean, the prog started nine years
ago...is there *anyone* out there who was into the show from the
beginning in the UK? I got into it after the second series, but I've
kind of got a hunch I caight a snatch of the first episode (the "Mr.
Vader" sequence) when it first went out, decided it was really silly,
and didn't watch it again thereafter. Terrible or what?
One thing I'd love to know is, what's this Australian thing? Sorry,
Aussies, please don't take that the wrong way, I'm just a bit
mystified as to why the show seems to have attracted such a huge
Australian following - I mean, its UK following (at least as
represented on the PGML) is pretty sparse. Any tentative
explanations?

Absolutely. Whatever it means. It's nearly at 11:00 at night, and
I'm not about to come out with anything even *remotely* profound or
witty or anything. Unless it was written by Steven Moffatt or Spike
Milligan.
Loadsa love, y'all,
David.
