A piece of shameless self-promotion here...if you're offended by such things, look away now.
 I was lucky enough to catch Simon on his Hot Fuzz press tour of Australia, and chatted with him about technology, chafing, gadgets and Spaced. You can see the first part of the interview on YouTube The second part is in Short List (an online gadget show that I'm working on) Short List interview |

Hehe - I'm not very good at this forum trolling thing (it's my first time, you know).
Glad you liked the video, though. Sadly, the next one will be far less exciting (back to the usual tech/gadgets stuff). Still got to meet one of my all-time heroes (and managed to avoid saying "skip to the end" during his responses), so I'm happy with the way things have turned out  Cheers! :l |

Watched the Shortlist interview. It was great!!
The YouTube one doesn't seem to be working though. Not sure if it's the You Tube site or something wrong with the clip? |

Try this more direct link instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKGuQTpwhu4 Cheers! Laurence |

Good interview. Aside from the inevitable Third Series Question, it was nice to see Simon being asked questions he normally wouldn't be asked, and talk about something other than his writing process, or researching Hot Fuzz etc etc.

Hooray.
Finally got You Tube to work for me. Nice one!! Lovin it! I like the suggestion that Edgar should get a big franchise so they can then use the funds to set up their own studio/workshop/production company type thing. hehehehe. Good idea! |

YouTube's working fine for me, but the sound on my computer has suddenly cacked itself today!!!
 Now I have to wait until my IT-savvy friend comes around on Friday night & has a look at it. Stupid computer errors!  Feel the love. dolfyn.

Double post, sorry!
 The sound on my computer has magically returned, & I was able to enjoy those 2 clips. Awesome stuff, lgrayson, thanx for those.  Feel the love. dolfyn.

Woot!
I liked the geeky gadgets interview. It was a bit different from the standard questions we keep hearing over and over. Was also interested to find that Simon has the same two computers as me & bf!! Simon has way more cool consoles though! (we only have a PS2 and an old Xbox) |

I tend to prefer Macs if given the choice, however their price tags have presented problems in the past. I bought my PC tower because I needed a reliable machine with a DVD burner right quick, and it was a real bargain. |
