I am also really struggling to see how this qualifies as “news”. It happened millions of years ago.

Though the BBC has it wrong. Although dinosaurs are skellingtons nowadays they wouldn’t have been at the time of making the footprints (another clue comes from the word footprints if you’re still flummoxed)

Chris wrote his own bits but didn’t have much/anything to do with the rest. Don’t remember the sketch or who was in it but we definitely wrote that line.

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

Is there scope for a new series of Scooby Doo where instead of dressing up as a ghost to scare people away, the bad guys just shoot and kill the gang and bury them in the plutonium mine?

The biggest mystery in Scooby Doo history is why the fuck did they get rid of the banging original theme tune for the crap one they have in the later series "Hang around for Scooby Doo". Pricks.

Richard Herring @herring1967.bsky.social · 2d

Scrappy Doo gets a lot of criticism, but fuck me Scooby-Dum is a LOT worse.

Ice lollies with ice cream inside are an abomination. Make your mind up, you're either an ice lolly or an ice cream not both. The combination is revolting.

Was also ready with places where green eggs and ham wouldn’t/would be eaten from the Seuss book. That would be a good question if they haven’t done it already

I had Kevin Spacey, Heartburn ready in case they asked for his movies, but guess they won’t ask that any more (Lew Zealand is my muppet, can’t beat Polk for US president.
