Re: The History of The Dandy - was it ever planned?

although Waterstones is the only high street retailer I saw it in (full price until they sold out, but they only had about a dozen to start with), so it sounds like distribution wasn't too great.

Again, another heck of a presumption to make! I would have thought with a publication like this it ...

Re: The History of The Dandy - was it ever planned?

Fair enough - Amazon again are another outlet who rarely sell at the full RRP. Depends when and where Digi got his book from. If it was heavily discounted in a pound shop then maybe that does tell us something, but discounts don't always equal poor sales.

Re: The History of The Dandy - was it ever planned?

Did anyone pay the full rrp though? When many tomes like that appear in Waterstones and the like, they are frequently discounted the day they hit the shelves. It's not necessarily indicative of lack of sales.

Re: Emuparadise Sonic scans

Yeah, that sites great, I've used it before. As a devotee for STC for most of it's life I can confirm that the last few issues were entirely reprint - only the covers being new, hence not wasting time on scanning them again (the notes on the relevant issues telling you in what issues you can find ...

Re: New Dennis TV Series

You do know D&G has 52 episodes, so the series will last a lot longer than 18 days.

Yes, but the BBC aren't showing them all at once, splitting them up into more manageable chunks of 3-4 weeks at a time. Much like Shaun the Sheep had 40 episodes when it debuted - it was split into 2 separate ...

Re: New Dennis TV Series

Dennis & Gnasher is part of the "series catch-up" scheme on iplayer, which means that all episodes of a series are available until 7 days after the showing of the last episode. Other shows that do this currently are shows like Shooting Stars and Dragon's Den - not usually done with CBBC stuff due to ...

2008 UK Annuals

Not strictly true - the typo is on the spine and it hasn't mis-spelled Doctor Who (since they just use the standard logo for that") they have in fact cocked-up the word "official" on the spine, saying something like "offcal" or some such. There are pictures on Outpost Gallifrey, if you dare venture ...

Re: 2008 UK Annuals

Yes there will be... but I only used the ones that Amazon had cover images of at the moment.

Wierd, they had the images of Dennis and Bash Street kids on there when I was on there last week.

Just checked - they are up now anyway. [img:500:500]http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/613vMF%2BqkcL ...

Series original to special or annual?

Just been looking through some old issues of "Fun Sized" and came across one which may fit the bill - circa 1999. It was called "The Comet" about a Super hero who got powers from a Comet strangely enough - more adventure strip than humour. I remember popping up regularly around that time in Fun Size ...
