2. Graham Linehan's new sitcom "The IT Crowd" starts soon

(next February to be exact) & it's just been revealed that Chris Morris is in it.

And just to round things off, here's an interview with Arthur Matthews from a month or so ago:

We won't mention what Ardol O'Hanlan is doing now.

(Also if you can get More4 - they're repeating Father Ted episodes at 9pm on Sundays, just before Curb Your Enthusism)

3. ~nods in sage agreement~

Better leave Ardal out of this for the moment... he has strayed from the one true path... but I'm sure in good time we'll see him return to the fold, crestfallen and possibly beaten, but not wholly broken...

And THANKS for the link!

4. If you fancy a long, but deeply fascinating read

the interviewer - TJ Worthington - has recently made available the first 3 chapters of his The History of Comedy on Radio One. (There would be more, but he's been diverted with other stuff, wants to rewrite parts with new information & has someone interested in publishing it for £££.)

Have been browsing my way through the mausoleum club site since I saw you post a link to it in another thread. Great stuff! :)
