Saw the clip on Frontal (highlight of a truly poor show). Looked good. Due to bandwidth problems it would be a real hassle to download; is it worth it?

Couldn't agree more - thought Baynham in particular was hilarious. I've tried to download it and managed to see five minutes before it crashed. I suspect TV companies will be sniffing round it before long (if they aren't already).

The rest of Frontal, though....almost made you wish for the return of TFI. (I didn't really mean that, OK?) Also, is it now C4 policy to include as many former Big Brother alumni as possible during other programmes. Cheers for that!

I went to the site last week and the show was taken down a while back.

Anyone with a copy of the full 'Junkies' or last night's TV feature, purleese contact me via this site.

I managed to download the entire thing. Pretty funny, although a bit one note. Unfortunately I'm only on a 56k modem so I'm not sodding emailing it to anyone given that it took me about three hours to download (that's dedication for you).

Someone put it in Real Video somewhere, but buggered if I can find the address right now.

I think if you go to www.cookdandbombd.co.uk and go to the links page, you'll find it there.

Well worth it, definately. Agreed about the "one note" comment, it could surely never make a series, but as a one-off it's great stuff.

there WERE rumours of a series a while back...there was an article about it in the screen supplement of the observer if I remember correctly...

The RealVideo version is still available for download, and a link to it is on the links page at www.cookdandbombd.co.uk

It's great.
