You're kidding!!!!  I'd heard about the suspension, but not the reason why.

I shouldn't but...   

I'm hearing now the last three episodes are pulled (pending an investigation). It is more amusing than it should be. The jokes are flying (The first rule of fracus club... etc).

Oh goodness! I hoped it was a mid-series PR stunt to get higher ratings, but seems there could be more to it. 

Channel 5 news seem to have randomly turned up on JM's door step.

 That's the way to get rid of reporters. How rude of C5 though 

Oh no - just heard of Terry Pratchett's death. So sorry Hitch... I know you adore him.

James was brilliant in that video. *nods*

I was at work when I heard, got messaged by someone asking if I was ok... after a bit of confusion, they sent a link... then it was try not to cry in front of the kids at work time. So sad... but the togetherness of the fan community is comforting.

Awww poor Hitch. Its incredibly sad   

It is. We are having a read in... I have to get Jingo out in preparedness.

Nice tribute  

I only made it halfway through Jingo. Really bad going.

Looks like the fans are really coming out in force to honour him.

How are you doing? 

I'm alright... in general. I get to stop work at 5 tonight... so, that's a bonus.

That's good. Bet you're looking forward to Easter?

Two weeks tomorrow. Everyone is desperate for it.

Had any choccie eggs yet?

Don't think I'm allowed any... still exercising off my Christmas belly 

Some of the meds I've been on make it hard to shift the weight  either that or the calories burned counter on my exercise bike is waaaaay off !

Ah... Medication can mess with you. I know a woman that's on anti-depressants who can't stop eating through them.

Well, I saw what Jezza said at that charity auction.

Didn't hear exactly what he said but apparently it was pretty bad, and about the BBC bosses.

Do you think he's trying to get the sack then? TG is going to Sky isn't it  

Counting the asterixes (asterii? Whatever...) I think he called them f****** b*******. I don't think he'll be able to take the winning bid around the track now, for some reason.

I have heard nothing of Sky. I hope not...

Oh my....  

I wouldn't be surprised if he was fed up with BBC producers and wants out, mind. Didn't Jeremy Paxman quit Newsnight for similar reasons? 

I fear a move to Sky  as Jezza has worked for the Murdoch empire before [ The Times and The Sun ]. Lets hope not! 

I know he shouldn't have punched the guy, that was dickish, but if someone put my dinner down to me cold I wouldn't exactly be happy about it.

If Jezza was out filming all day [ in Newcastle so probably quite cold ] and looking forward to a hot meal at the end of his day, I can understand him flipping out too.

JM's twitter has been quite funny though... he's got time on his hands so he's been changing light bulbs etc.

Yeah, I noticed he was tagging things as "retired" earlier.

Saw this pic of him dossing round the office [ his agents maybe?]

Or a producer? I notice she has a nice meal and he has off-brand instant noodles.

Someone the other day was talking about the incident and used it as an excuse to insult James. I was not happy.

Bally cheek!

 *envisages TG-less future Sundays*

Oh dear... Maybe it'll get picked up elsewhere? More toy shows from James?

Wibble....suppose so...? 

Tell you what, the year of the spinning mouse hasn't been up to much so far.

Is that a Terry Pratchett thing?

Anyways... nope, it sure hasn't  Strange times we live in.

Yep. That's what year this is.  Year of the Incontinent Stoat was a favourite.

Here's hoping it improves. *nods*

Although, I did just hear that Ghidorah, Rodan and Mothra are in the next hollywood Godzilla movie. That's promising.

Year of the Incontinent Stoat  I remember certain years like that. Year of the Spinning Mouse is well named too.

Are those lot Godzilla's monster mates? 

Mothra is. She keeps him in check. I think the other two were always just enemies.

I looked it up. Mothra's first film she was protecting the earth from (the still a bad guy at this point) Godzilla. Rodan is mainly a protagonist too. Like Godzilla, the Rodan have a few bad guy turns, mainly unintentional... they flap their wings, a city crumbles. Ghidorah, the three headed golden dragon. Villian with a captital V.

I imagine we are likely to get a three on one take down on Ghidorah. He's apparently "super boss" level, and needs to be handled with team work.

I just want to see a pretty, 3D Mothra. That's what I'm invested in. (I can't see them using the Twins, or explaining her "Goddess" status though.)

 A monster three on one take down... yay, lets get ready to rrrrumble!

Mad Men is back April 5... seven more episodes and that's it  In a way I'm glad they're not continuing it into the seventies. Wouldn't want to see Don in dreadful 70's garb and when the economy tanks.

Yeah... At least they didn't do a Heartbeat... 20 years in the 60s.

Thank goodness !

Apparently BBC are continuing with Top Gear in 2016?. Presumably its without JM, given what he's said. Don't know what RH has decided yet, do you? No way would I tune in just for him though.

Jezza seems to have had a hand in the production and writing too, so Jezza-less the tone would be completely different. Just not TG any more.

Yeah. If we were watching for the cars, we'd watch Fifth Gear too... which we don't. Hammond is a nice enough fellow, but no... Dynamic is gone. Sad.

Unless its taken up somewhere else... Jezza and JM could work as a double act?. RH is nice, but wouldn't say he's indispensable. He might want to stay at the BBC as they seem to use him as an all purpose presenter nowadays... weather/animals/science etc.
