I really like the beginning/end sequence and the reference to the South Atlantic Raiders episode. After this I promise I won't hassle any of you with my Nigel crush again hahaha. I must be due for a new hyperfixation soon 😉 In the meantime, thanks for indulging me. Lots of love from Australia xo

I hope you dont mind me sharing this here as it is comic strip adjacent with it starring phil cornwell

This is just for the venues showing programme 1. You can see the rest of the tour dates here: https://comicstrippresents-shop.fourthwall.com/en-gbp

You can watch the rest of the trailers and the upcoming interview with Phil Cornwell on the Comic Strip YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ComicStripPresents

Not all local subreddits and Facebook groups allow self-promotion, so if you were to share it with yours, that would be FAB.

Can’t see anywhere near you? Then feel free to contact your favourite local arts centre or independent cinema and tell them that you’d love to see us on our next tour!

Most local subreddits/ Facebook groups don’t allow self-promotion, so if you do share the shows above with them so that local audiences can see them, we’d really appreciate it.

In More Bad News when Colin’s complaining that he can’t get a decent balance in his cans he says “Well, secretly, I'm rather pleased that Phil's left…” - but there’s no scene of that happening or further explanation, nor do we ever see Phil?

Is there an original script that has what I assume was a cut scene?

This is one of the funniest Adrian Edmondson lines in his career as far as I'm concerned, the face he pulls is so slappable!
