I saw a message posted earlier this week about the Mitsumi CD-ROM drive
that seems to retail for $199.99 just about everywhere.  Unfortunately,
the message has expired here before I had a chance to ask the person if
they would let me know if they were able to find out anything.  Could
the person that posted the original request let me know if they found
out how to contact the company?

Thanks.

Nope. It's not.
The main thing about DTDD is that it's based on actual weeks, and
has actual dates that are covered. The news on those dates was the

The real drag about the show on the CBC is that is was from 1990.  I was in
the UK at the time, and had seen that show.  The really wild thing is
watching it after the 9 O'Clock news, and hearing that stuff in the show,
especially during the final credits (the voiceover).

It loses a lot when not shown *at the time* 'cause I found it quite
accurate, and it requires more than a passing knowledge of UK politics to
get all the really clever and nasty bits.

Oh well, better late than never...

We get the BBC world service a half hour later, why not DtDD???

As for Murphy Brown - not a chance...

I think that Colins Sandwich is very funny and that Mel Smith is a lot better i
n that than he is in Smith and Jones. I think that he is a better comedy actor
than he is a comedian, although this could be due to the fact that the scripts
he is using for Colins Sandwich are a lot better than the scripts he is using
for Alas. I found the humour of Colin a lot more refined and I think that it ap
pealed to me more because of that. The series of plays that I refered to in my
original article (Smith and Jones II) though were, to the best of my knowledge,
 not funny in the hysterical sense of Colin but *really* black humour. The fact
that these plays were not filmed before an audience really added to the atmosph
ere of the plays which would have been lessened if they had.

He did an excellent KT show called The Man Behind The Green Door, which was 
later repeated in a shorter version by the BBC. They chopped it to bits when it 
was repeated because of all the f'n bad language.

 The last couple of years he's been doing Bottom with Ade Edmonson (2 series so
far) and he made a brief appearance in the most recent Carry On... film, Carry
On Columbus.

Ah, but have you seen the Kevin Turvey monologues?  Apparently it was a
regular slot in some British comedy show, he played a not-very-bright
character who sat in a chair and regaled the audience with reports on
his "investigations".  Each week it was a different topic. And he always
tugged on his earlobe and said "Kevin's 'ere".

I have no idea when these were made, but I saw them recently, courtesy
of an English friend, and found them hilarious.

(Hm.  Hopes like hell it really was Rik Mayall.)
