Question Time 01

[Dirk Gently]

They provide shade.


What's your favourite thing about bushes?

[P-Bal]

LEAFY, LEAFY!

Justin Timberlake or a lake, which makes you wetter?

[Larry]

definitely a lake that makes you wetter..

is fishing brain numbingly boring.

[Stuart Wallis]

I used to go fishing. Emphasis on used to. Draw your own conclusions.

Do you have a favourite Star Trek episode?

[Simon R]

Do I eck. I did however see that Deep Throat Nine (or whatever it was) one where they'd CGI'ed in some old series footage and that was quite clever so I'll say that. It might have been called "Trials and Tribbleations". Or not.

What will you say if tonight's Doctor Who is postponed?

[Dirk Gently]

Roll on next week.


Are you looking forward to the Summer?

[Stuart Wallis]

It's warm enough today, ta, so no.

Kenny Everett - megastar?

[Larry]

never a big fan of Kenny Everett.


are you a Monty Python fan..

[Andrew Curnow]

Not a massive one, in that I don't know the words to any sketches or anything, and I suppose they'd already dated a bit before I ever saw them - probably part of their 'appeal' originally was that they were so different and fresh, and that's kind of lost now. But even today, when it's a good sketch, it's a good sketch. The Lumberjack song is still funny today (it's the gradual realisation of the chorus that always gets me) and likewise the dead parrot. And I have a great fondness for "that most dangerous of animals, the clever sheep".

Crikey, what a long 'sort of' answer.

So... What's your favourite Monty Python routine?

[Stuart Wallis]

Excuse me Miss, it concerns a parrot wot i bought from this boutique only this morning.

HIGNFY or Dead Ringers?

[Trudi G]

HIGNFY.

Have you ever lost contact with someone that you'd like to meet up with again?

[SiHart]

Yes, I very much wish i was back in contact with my friend Dan. I miss him.

Have you been making the most of this great weather?

Si xx

[Andrew Curnow]

It's misty drizzle in Devon, so I guess that counts as a no. Even the set of The Sontaran Experiment, which we can see out of the back windows, is covered in mist.

The Face of Evil, or The Face of Boe?

[Larry]

Face of Evil - cos don't Lousie look sexy..


can you play any musical instuments very well.

[Pip Madeley]

Piano, keyboard/organ and drums. I'm terribly out of practice these days, mind. I want a drum kit at home. One day, I will have a drum kit at home.

How do you buy your music?

[Simon R]

From a shop. I've still not got round to officially downloading things. I just can't be arsed at the moment even though it would be v.useful for an assortment of compilation albums I'm forever working on.

Angus Lennie or Aberdeen Angus?

[P-Bal]

Aberdeen Angus!

Barbara Loft or a Loft Conversion?

[Simon R]

A loft conversion would have much more importance to Doctor Who fans.

Have you seen "The Last Mimzy"?

[Andrew Curnow]

I haven't even seen the first one yet.

Where did Ant get that hat?

[SiHart]

From our house. The hat is Steve's, the red robe is mine.

Match well, don't they?

Si xx

[Andrew Curnow]

They certainly do! I assumed it came as a set.

Have you seen the new Radio Times yet?

[Stuart Wallis]

I had the local WH Smith set alight during a spoiler purge, so no.

Catweazel or the Crowman?

[Simon R]

Crowman because he knew Aunt Sally and Saucy Nancy. Probably.

Geoffrey Beevers or Geoffrey from Rainbow?

[Pip Madeley]

Geoffery from Rainbow, he needs the recognition.

Roisin Murphy or Alison Goldfrapp, who's the better singer?

[Andrew Curnow]

Alison Goldfrapp. This answer has been reached after some considerable consideration and thought, and not at all with the aid of a hat.

And having reached 999 (the number of the beast-and-a-half) posts, it's time to close down this premier Question Time thread. So I suppose, the question is, is this the end? Or has the moment been prepared for?
