    No, I just made it up - but with a bit of a wink at Blackadder...

    Haven't watched Blackadder for Ages, used to love it and I am introducing my sons to classic comedy, definately one for the list.

    Trying to get them to watch the whole of the Alan Partridge series's although for me the one when he is living in the travelodge is best.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    You should write for them, very much in the style of MR. B. ELTON:T My No.1 fav political satirist.
    QB, I was going to ask you about that, and now you have saved me from being nosy. What is it about those sitcoms? Did you see the Vicar of Dibley top 40?

    And the one where Alan meets his biggest fan - hilarious!! You're a Mentalist (as he runs across the field!) The 'Dave' channel on freeview has shown this series recently and the next one when he's in the caravan having his house built - so funny!

    I didn't I'm afraid, but thankfully youtube has plenty of clips of those 2 episodes on there - so they're saved in my 'favourites' for me to watch whenever I please! Although I desparately try to ignore Dawn French and imagine RA saying those things to me instead!!!

    He is absolutely gorgeous isn't he?! Richard Armitage plays Guy of Gisbourne in Robin Hood. He was also Dawn French's love interest in the last Vicar of Dibley in Christmas 2006. Prior to that he'd been in Cold Feet and Ultimate Farce. Apparently he is soon to be seen in the new series of Spooks as well!

    So I'm sure that when Spooks and series 3 of Robin Hood come out in the Autumn, he'll be doing lots of interviews, so you're bound to see more of him!

    Not that your a big fan :p
