| Goodies only playing Brighton on Oct 5th |
more from same (The Goodies) |
 I've just learned that The Goodies will only be doing one date at the Paramount Comedy Festival in Brighton - Thursday, October 5th. There will no longer be a performance on Wednesday, October 4th.
If you purchased tickets for October 4th I suggest you contact the Brighton Dome Box Office (or whoever you bought your tickets from) to see if you can exchange them for the October 5th show or to get a refund. Obviously I'd encourage trying to rebook for Oct 5th because it's a really great show.
According to http://www.brightondome.org/how_to_book.asp you can contact the Brighton Dome Box Office at 01273 709709 or email their online support at tickets@brighton-dome.org.uk
If you were planning to attend the October 5th show but haven't yet bought your tickets I urge you to do so as soon as possible - I anticipate a rush on those tickets due to people rebooking from the cancelled show. Tickets for Oct 5th can be purchased from http://www.brightondome.org/events/eventdetails.asp?id=2100 or by calling the Brighton Dome Box Office at 01273 709709

| Goodies Episode Summaries on website |
more from same (The Goodies) |
I've started the process of posting my revised Goodies Episode Summaries up the website in the Articles section.
It will be a lengthy process and at this stage I've only posted up the Introduction/Contents and the summaries for Series One and Two, however I'll gradually add the remaining series over the next week or two.
There will also eventually be galleries of images from each Goodies episode to complement the written summaries, however these won't be up on the website for a little while yet. Stay tuned for further details. Radio Goodies. Boom!

| Small problem |
more from same (Website) |
 Sorry for the inconvenience, but me being the ignorant cretin (read clutz) that I am, deleted an entire thread from the forum. In particular, I deleted the "word association game" thread while trying to delete a double post (made by me).
I've managed to restore from a very recent backup (Actually I don't think I lost any posts at all) however, it did mean that the site was offline for about 15 minutes while I restored the database from backup.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully nothing else got broken in the meantime.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled lunacy.

| BBC4 Programmes coming up |
more from same (British Comedy) |
Thanks to Helen Randle for posting this information on the goodies-l mailing list:
"A couple of programmes I've spotted that are coming up soon -
*Godlessness and Dirt: 60 Years of the Edinburgh Festival* A look at the long-standing rivalry between the 'official' Edinburgh Festival and its unruly sibling, the Fringe. With rare footage and contributions from festival veterans.
BBC Four, Sun 17 Sep, 21:00-22:00
One of the contributors is Tim.
*Never Mind the Full Stops*
Julian Fellowes is joined by Nina Wadia, John Sergeant, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Rod Liddle to discuss, dissect and delight in the English language.
BBC Four, Wed 20 Sep, 23:20-23:50
As this seems to be a repeat of the first series presumably the episode with Graeme should be sometime soon."

| more info about the Goodies Brighton dates |
more from same (The Goodies) |
As mentioned in the previous news item, the Paramount Brighton Comedy Festival's website has a "Win Tickets" link. At the moment they aren't offering any Goodies tickets. However, I've learned from the festival organizers that there will be a Goodies ticket giveaway in the future. Watch for details from the festival website (http://www.brightoncomedyfestival.com/) as well as their media partners - radio stations Juice FM & Southern FM and newspaper The Argus. I believe these are the correct URLs for their websites:
Juice FM: http://www.juicebrighton.com/
Southern FM: http://www.southernfm.com/
The Argus: http://www.theargus.co.uk/
Of course, none of this should stop you from buying tickets to ensure you'll be able to see the shows (on Oct 4th & 5th at the Brighton Dome). 
I'll pass along any further news I get about giveaways or interviews for Brighton.
