A Website All About Marie Birch: Part One
Over the years, however, I have drifted more towards
writing, and to a certain Extent, I prefer it to acting, because you can do so
much more, with it, than you can with acting, and once a Production, is over,
that is it, and with writing, you can, go on, and on, Forever! And not, only
that, I don't think that even if I do get somewhere as an actress, that I will
be very limited to what I can do, where that is concerned, and it is always
probably for the best to have something else, that you can turn to, when it
actually comes down to it, at the end of the day!
My Writing Projects are:
Since 1994, I have been writing my own independent Science Fiction publication entitled: Going Round And Round Again, And the story features the main character of Helena Cartwright who is a top Scientist, who finds some stones, with some magical properties, on Antarctica, when she was studying there, which Helena's Father, the Great Top Scientist of them all: The George Cartwright, and his Scientific team, turn into a highly sophisticated watch, which also doubles up as a time machine! And Helena goes on a trip to the Stone Age, and she ends up bringing a Stone Age Man called Abel back with her, who has no choice, but to adapt to twenty first century life! But the two eventually fall in love, albeit with a lot of complications, in the shape of Helena's jealous former Fiancee': Jaq Durand!
To help me, with my acting examinations, I also have The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, on CD Rom. I did download the scripts off the internet, but they ate up a lot of memory, and I had to correct a lot of the scripts, because they were taken from the modern text, but it was a great experience for me, to read them, in that way, because it was very frustrating trying to read the text, from my book, of The Complete Works, because you need a magnifying glass to read them, and when you're studying Shakespeare, you need bigger text, at the end of the day, but I will keep my book, as well, because you can't be on the computer, twenty four hours a day!
From November 1996 to the Spring of 1999, my work was published, via my email contact: Kevin Blake's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website! For further details, about that, please read the rest of this report, in its entirety!
Unfortunately however, due to his College commitments and more recently, his business commitments, Kevin was unable to carry on with his main Puzlebox Hobbies websites, which originally ran from November 1996 to the Spring of 1999, where displaying my work was concerned. For example: my continual Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, plus various Red Dwarf related Series VII reviews and my Captain Butler reviews. And Kevin was also kind enough, to display a web page, which was basically all about me!
Kevin's Puzlebox Hobbies websites included Red Dwarf, The X Files, Toons and The Simpsons. And therefore, his interests were quite varied, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! Unfortunately however, Kevin could no longer devote the time to it, once he left School for College and University, where he took his A levels, and I think, that, he went on, to do an advanced course in Computer Aided Design, but more on that, in a moment! But I didn't officially find out about this, until December 2000! Kevin did do his best, to keep his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, going in the meantime, but he just wasn't able to acquire the necessary webspace, to keep those sites going, once he changed his Internet Service Provider, and especially, after he left Bohunt Community School, who were very generous, where providing web space was concerned, for his Hobbies websites, at the time, and his College at Godalming in Surrey, didn't have an Internet Centre. And even though Kevin's University offered him a state of the art Internet Centre, it only provided him, with internet access and an email address. And even though, he was given some free web space, it was only available, for his course work, and it was definitely not available, for his outside interests, which was a terrible blow for Kevin, and a really great loss, as far as I was concerned, especially, as I really did feel, that he had put such a lot of work into his Hobbies websites, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! But I really do feel, that I owe Kevin a great debt, anyhow! And you can still find out, all about Kevin where his general interests are concerned, which includes a photo gallery, and details of his previous School and College, etcetera.
Kevin set up his own business with some friends, during the Spring of the year 2000, which was one of the main reasons, why he didn't have the time, to devote to his main Puzlebox Hobbies website, anymore. I was also aware, that Kevin had got a small business, where he constructed computers, but I am not sure, whether his new business, is devoted to that, as well. Kevin had also informed me, that as part of his G.C.S.E course work, he had worked, for a company in London, where he did some more advanced training, where his Computer Aided Design skills, were concerned. And I have seen a sample of Kevin's skills, via his graphics over the years, and some of them, are still on his Puzlebox Hobbies website, and the graphic in question, is the swivelling Puzzlebox which keeps on turning around, plus images of himself, and various other very clever designs. However, Kevin has kindly informed me, quite recently, that his business, Puzlebox Productions (recently re-named Puzzlebox Productions) is a Computer Services website. Kevin designs and implements websites, as well as designing company-specific and shareware software. The portfolio section, of the website, is a place to view the sort of work, that Kevin has been involved in.
And the same information, about Kevin's Puzlebox Hobbies website and his Puzzlebox Productions website, is now available, on my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website. And I have also set up the links to Kevin's websites on my Lynne Guy's General Information and Classic British Comedy website, last year. And it was merely a question of duplicating this information, on to the page, which is all about myself!
But I have still got to snail mail, Kevin, some copies of my Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, and some copies of the Dimension Jump 1995 photographs, when it is convenient, as a final payment to his mailing list, anyhow. As I really do feel, that I owe Kevin, a great debt for getting my work published, in the first place! As I really do not know, what I would have done, without all the effort and genuine enthusiasm, where getting my work established, on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, was concerned, anyhow! And even though, sorting out the links, for Kevin's Puzlebox Hobbies website, was really no trouble, and it was a five minute job, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! But it was sorting out, a very lengthy email to inform Kevin, that the links to his websites had been set up, and that wasn't a five minute job, I can tell you! And to complicate matters even further, I was to discover later on, that Kevin had changed his email address, since I had emailed him last, and I had to resend that email all over again! Fortunately however, I just copied my original email into a new email, which definitely covered his new address, and Kevin was also kind enough to acknowledge my website promotions, via my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website. But unfortunately however, the information, that I had originally given out, where his business website was concerned, was slightly incorrect, and it was really no trouble for me, to amend the information, and again, it was really a five minute job, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! And once again, I had to sort out, yet another lengthy email to Kevin to let him know, that I had amended the information, where his business website, was concerned! And once again, I had also kept the option open, where sending my work, to Kevin was concerned, should Kevin ever decide to get his Red Dwarf/X Files/Toons and The Simpsons websites up and running again, one day! But Kevin stated, via his email correspondence, to me, last Spring, via my setting up the links for his new websites for him, that is probably, very highly unlikely, due to his business commitments, these days! But he also stated, that he will get back to me on that, if there is a remote possibility, of that happening again! And so far, Kevin hasn't got back to me, where that is concerned, anyhow! But again, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?! And with regard to snail mailing Kevin, some copies of my Red Dwarf Fan Fiction and some copies of the Dimension Jump 1995 photographs, I really do not know in all honesty, when I will get round to sorting out a snail mail letter to him, at this point in time, because I am very busy myself, but I really do feel, that I owe Kevin a great debt, and I swear, that I will sort out my copies of my Red Dwarf Fan Fiction and some copies of the Dimension Jump 1995 photographs, for Kevin, if it is the last thing I do! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope as easily as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all that you can do, isn't it?!
I originally set up my Xanadu Red Dwarf website which is linked to Paul's mainframe website, which Paul originally set up during the Summer of 1996, and it was re-named: Paul and Lynne Guy's Worldwide Web Workshop website. I originally set up my Xanadu Red Dwarf website as a safety net, during January 1997, which was basically due, to Kevin, having connection problems, during January 1997, due to a broken pipe, and I soon realised, that I was right to do this, especially as Kevin's internet service provider was down, during the Summer of 1997, which was also due to a broken pipe. But Kevin also informed me, that his private provider Whiting, which was linked to his School somehow, was updating things, for better connection rates, even though it was linked with Demon Internet, etc, but that never happened in the end, and Kevin gave up on them in the end! And he changed his ISP over, completely, to Demon Internet, for once and for all! And even though, he managed to get his websites up and running during the Autumn of 1997, Kevin was far too busy with his College work at Godalming College, to find the time, to devote to updating them, in the end. And his Mother informed me, on the telephone, that he was coming back at night, absolutely shattered from his bus journey to the College, there and back! And not only that, he also lost mailing list customers, and he had to start all over again, where that was concerned, anyhow! Kevin also asked me, not to send him any more payments, for the mailing list for the time being. I only made him one payment, where that was concerned, because I felt, that I owed it to him for all the work, that he had put into, setting the mailing lists up, anyhow! But at that point in time, I had made some copies for him, of some more additional Red Dwarf Fan Fiction (I had already sent Kevin some copies of some Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, along, with my first and last mailing list payment, during 1997), and some copies of the Dimension Jump 1995 photographs. But Kevin insisted, that I could still send him those, whenever I liked, but he felt, that it was wrong, to ask me, for some more money, until he had got a sufficient number of subscribers, to the mailing list, once again! And as there were only five people, who had re-subscribed to the mailing list, it was just not worth his while, to ask me, for any more money, for the time being, where that was concerned, anyhow! Even though, Kevin was kind enough, to send me a couple of mailing list updates, for his websites, from the Autumn of 1998 to the Spring of 1999, anyhow. But unfortunately however, it was more than obvious, at that point in time, that Kevin's Puzlebox Hobbies websites, were just not destined, to pioneer the internet, sooner or later! And even though, I managed to send Kevin, some more work, for his websites, from time to time, and even though, he was kind enough, to display, my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, Set On The Dwarf and a Red Dwarf Tenth Anniversary review (which had originally been a report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge) and my Timeslides: Episode V, Red Dwarf III review, during the Summer of 1998, it would soon be inevitable, that I was living on borrowed time, where emailing any more work to Kevin was concerned, anyhow!
Kevin also suffered a very bad system crash, via his computer, during the Summer of 1998, and even though, he managed to get his computer up and running again, once again. This was a PC, that Kevin had actually built himself! Kevin had also informed me, that, he hadn't actually got a PC himself, when he first set up his Puzlebox Hobbies website, during 1994, and that, he had got an old Amiga system, which meant, that he had to write all of his web pages in html code, because he hadn't got a proper web editor! And this meant, that I had to send all of my work to him, via attachment, in Write or Wordpad format, so he could read it, but he did have a problem, with my Dimension Jump 1995 report, because it was in an extended format, and I had to cut it down, into three parts, to reduce the extended format, so that he could read it! And failing that, Kevin had got a Library reader, if the worst actually came to the worst! But fortunately however, it didn't come to that, and he was able to cope, with my lengthy Dimension Jump 1995 report, in its reduced format, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! But I really do feel, that Kevin was very ahead of his time, via originally writing his web pages, on an Amiga system, even if it is was in html code! Again, writing web pages in html code, was nothing new by then, but writing web pages in html code on an Amiga system, was definitely very ahead of its time! But once, he had got his newly built state of the art PC set up, during the Summer of 1997, and because, Kevin had now got a brand new web editor set up, this meant, that, I could email him my work, via my htm files! Unfortunately however, that all came to nothing, once his newly built state of the art, PC, crashed, during the Summer of 1998!
And even though, Kevin, was also fortunate enough, to get his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, back online, during the Autumn of 1998, it was never quite the same again. And not only that, Kevin also informed me, that he wasn't prepared to update his websites, for the time being, because even though, he stated ,that you can go on forever and ever, with text, he wanted the necessary space to display more pictures, and be able to display, his fancy swinging graphics, and I had to respect his decision, where that was concerned, because he specialized in Computer Aided Design! And Kevin, insisted, that he just no longer, had the time, to get in touch with his contacts in the States, where acquiring additional web space was concerned, unfortunately however.
I felt that I had done the right thing there, where setting up my own websites as a safety net, was concerned, especially as Kevin's provider, had been a private ISP, who wasn't very efficient anyway! Even though, Kevin had insisted, during 1997, that, there was no need for me, to do that, anyhow! Especially, as he had insisted, that, his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, were definitely an ongoing project, even after he left School! But I just wasn't convinced somehow, where that was concerned, anyhow! And as it turned out, in the end, I was definitely right, to have my doubts, where that was concerned, anyhow!
During December 1996, I printed off some information off Encarta 95 about Jupiter and Daryl Ball was kind enough to amend it for his Junior Encyclopedia of Space section, via The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, during 1997 and during December 1996, I also printed off some information off Encarta 95, about Dominica, where Danny John-Jules' family, originally hails from, and Danny has also spent some time on the island, when he was a child. And that was also published in The Danny John-Jules Fan Club's fanzine, during 1997! And this was also mentioned, in an update letter, which was sent out, before the latest edition of the fanzine, was due, which was to actually thank me, for the information about Dominica! And I was also thanked for the information about Dominica, via the fanzines editiorial! Marie Gilbert had also mentioned me, in the very first edition of the fanzine, when she had originally set up The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, along with her Daughter Emma, during 1996, with a view of publishing my work, and during December 1996. I have also published some information off Encarta 95 about the History of Cats, which was also published in an edition of the fanzine, during 1997, but more about that, at a later date! And I have always been thanked, for my contributions to the fanzine, via The Danny John-Jules Fan Club on quite a number of occasions, over the years!
Both of my Captain Butler reviews, which were also available for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, from 1997 to 1999. My lengthier Captain Butler review was published, via The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, and my shorter Captain Butler review was published, via The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's fanzine: Better Than Life, and both of my Captain Butler reviews, were and still are, available, for downloading, via my Unofficial Captain Butler website, since 1997, onwards! I also had a letter, praising Captain Butler to the skies, which I sent by fax to The Craig Charles Fan Club's fanzine: Smeghead, published, during 1997.
During 1997, I also had my lengthier Red Dwarf VII review published, via The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, and I also sent in a shorter Red Dwarf VII review in to Better Than Life: The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's fanzine: Better Than Life. But unfortunately however, I left it that little bit too late, to snail mail my shorter Red Dwarf VII review, and therefore, it never made it to publication, via The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's fanzine: Better Than Life. But my Red Dwarf VII reviews, were originally available for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, from 1997 to 1999, but now that I am on my own, they will both have to go on, to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, as soon as it is possible for me to do so, but it was something that I never got round to, because I had completely forgotten about that, until now! And I had just assumed, that I had duplicated them, on to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. But unfortunately however, that was not the case, I am afraid! And I will have to rectify that, as soon as it is possible for me to do so, anyhow! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
My Dimension Jump 1995 report was also published, via The Danny John-Jules Fan Club's fanzine, during 1997, and it was also originally available for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, from 1997 to 1999. And the Dimension Jump 1995 report is still available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, since 1997, onwards! I also had my Dimension Jump 1997 report, published in The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, and it was also published, via The Danny John-Jules Fan Club's fanzine, during 1998. And the Dimension Jump 1997 report, was also available for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website from 1998 to 1999. And the Dimension Jump 1997 report, is still available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website!
The conclusion to The Strip Poker scene on The Smeg Outs video was also originally for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website from 1997 to 1999, and The Conclusion to The Strip Poker scene on The Smeg Outs video, is still available for downloading, on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. And my conclusion to The Strip Poker scene on The Smeg Outs video, was also published in The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, during 1998. I also wrote an excerpt of my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, which was also originally for downloading, on Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website from 1997 to 1999. And my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction set on the Dwarf, is still available, for downloading, on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website! I have also snail mailed and emailed my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf to The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, and hopefully, it will get published outside the internet, one day! Well, I certainly live in hope, where that is concerned, anyhow!
My Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction is also available for downloading, via The Silicon Heaven Red Dwarf website. The person who runs that particular website in question, expressed an interest in my work, and even though, I managed to email him my Dimension Jump 1995 report, he hasn't got round to making my Dimension Jump 1995 report available, on his website, yet. And therefore, it is probably for the best, if I just leave it at that, for the time being, where that is concerned, anyhow!
I have tried various ways of publishing my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, outside the internet, over the years, and so far, they have all been to no avail. The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club, tried publishing my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, in magazine format, at Dimension Jump 1998, but nobody purchased, even one copy! The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club have got a copy of my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, on file, and they have assured me, via their correspondence, during 1999, that it will be published one day, in their fanzine: Better Than Life, if they run out of Red Dwarf Fan Fiction. In other words, The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club, will only publish my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, if they are absolutely desperate, that is! But I feel that is highly unlikely! But I refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that, when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day! I also sent a refresher advertisement, to The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club, during September 2001, (I originally advertised my Fan Fiction in The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, which was the previous continual version of my Fan Fiction, during 1997, but I never had any response, where that was concerned, unfortunately however. But Daryl had warned me, that the continual Red Dwarf Fan Fiction might not sell, because the fans of Red Dwarf, prefer Fan Fiction to be complete, especially if they have got to buy it separately, outside the main Red Dwarf fanzines. And I was definitely proved right, where that was concerned, anyhow! And I also sent an advertisement, to The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club to promote my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf, during 1998, which was all to no avail), with all proceeds, going to the families of the victims and the firefighters families, of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre, and the Pentagon, in the United States of America. But so far, I have received no response, where that is concerned. And I have also had my advertisement put up on the board in the Library in Wolverhampton! And once again, I utterly refuse, to give up hope, as easily as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
And at this point in time, my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, desperately needs revamping, anyhow! I have also got a Xanadu Red Dwarf Links website set up, on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, since 1998, which so desperately needs updating! But there are quite a few links on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, which are far too numerous to mention, anyhow! But I may come back to that, in this report about myself, at a later date, anyhow!
As well as my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, which I officially set up, towards the end of January 1997, as a safety net, due to connection problems, via Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website (For more information about that, please refer to my details about Kevin's influence, via my web publishing, as above!), I also set up a website as a tribute to the actor, the late Barry Evans, during 1997, along with my own Unofficial Craig Charles website and my Unofficial Captain Butler website. I also started a Captain Butler Fan Fiction during 1997, called: On The Goodship Lady Captain, where Butler meets his match, via a female Pirate: Lady Lavinia Lavendertree! I set up the Unofficial Captain Butler website, because I felt that Captain Butler had got a future, but due to low viewing figures, there isn't going to be another series of Captain Butler, which was a really great loss, in my opinion!
During 1997, I also set up Our Astronomy Section website. The information that is available on our Astronomy website at present is: Dwarf Stars (including Red Dwarf Stars!) /A Comets composition (which was basically having a laugh about our former Astronomy Group, Walsall Astronomical Society, who gave us a demonstration, on how a comet is created, during the Summer of 1996! And it was also having a go at Kochanski, asking the Boyz on the Dwarf on what a comet is made of in Blue: Episode V, Red Dwarf VII!) and our trip to Birr Castle in Birr in the Republic of Ireland, where the shell of Lord Rosse's giant telescope is situated, and we also paid a visit to a free exhibition, which was about the early use of colour, in photography, which was quite interesting, and the Planetarium, itself! And I have also added some historic information about Lord Rosse and his giant telescope, courtesy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Encarta 95!
During 1999, I added a very brief section about the Moon to Our Astronomy Section website.
During 2002, I have added on to Our Astronomy Section website, a very brief section about Paul's two telescopes, how we like observing the planets as apposed to deep space, and the Total Solar Eclipse of 1999, which I copied off the first file: All About Marie Birch website, anyway. I also intend to update our Astronomy Section website, at a very much later date! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 2002, I copied this information onto a new website, which will probably be entitled: The Junior Encyclopaedia Of Space Section, which will be linked on to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website and The Junior Encyclopaedia Of Space Section, will also be be linked on to my Inquisitor Homepage website at a later date (for more information about The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland and my Inquisitor Homepage website, please see below!)! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
Incidentally, Our Astronomy Section website was originally linked to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, only. And my original intention, where setting up an Our Astronomy Section website, was concerned, was to have it as a send up Astronomy web page, for Red Dwarf fans only! But as Paul was so impressed with my Astronomy website, he insisted, on making a few changes to the web page (I cannot remember its original title at this point in time), and linking Our Astronomy Section website to Paul and Lynne's Worldwide Web Workshop website. And Our Astronomy Section website is also linked to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website! And hopefully, at some point in time, my Junior Encyclopaedia Of Space Section will replace Our Astronomy Section website, and become an Astronomy send up web page, for Red Dwarf fans only! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
I have also got some more features available, via my Barry Evans website, during 1997, I set up my Doctor Series website. This site in question includes a list of every Doctor series ever made, a Doctor series, which lists every episode of every Doctor series ever made, with the exception of Doctor At The Top! And as a matter of interest, the last Doctor series: At The Top, featured a very young Chloe Annett as Rebecca Stuart-Clark, during 1991! And the Doctor series episode list, also lists all of the cast details for each series and broadcasting dates, etcetera. I have also made a start on reviewing, the very first episode of Doctor In The House. But as the Doctor series has been released, on to video at long last, it definitely looks, like, I will have to re-review the very first episode Doctor In The House separately, because I was originally going, by a clip, I originally saw, of the very first episode of Doctor In The House: Why Do You Want To Be A Doctor? on a daytime Quiz show, called: Those Wonderful TV Times. And it definitely looks, like, I will have to set up a separate review section, for the very first episode of Doctor In The House: Why Do You Want To Be A Doctor? at a very much later date, along with my Doctor series Plot Summary website, which wall also be linked to my Doctor Series website, at a very much later date! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1999, I set up The Doctor Books And The Doctor Films website, which was originally part of the Doctor Series website, but as the Doctor books by Richard Gordon and the Doctor films, are virtually a thing, in their own right! I felt, that it was probably for the best, if they had their own website set up, and I may do some short reviews of the Doctor books and Doctor films, one of these days! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1997, I also set up my Mind Your Language website, but so far it only includes details of the Mind Your Language script writer Vince Powell and his partner George Evans Comedy Script Writing course, which I sorted out, during 1998, along with the cast details for Mind Your Language and the start of my review, of the very first episode of Mind Your Language: The First Lesson! I also intend, to sort out my Mind Your Language Plot Summary website, and just like all of my other websites, my Mind Your Language website, is in desperate need of revamping! And I intend, to update my Mind Your Language website, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1999, just to set the record straight, I also added some press statements, with regard to the circumstances, surrounding Barry Evans to my Barry Evans website. And I also typed up some press cuttings, which included The Barry Evans Coroners Report, Plus Additional Information On The Circumstances That Surrounded His Death.
During the year 2000, I also set up A Barry Evans Career Profile to my Barry Evans website. At this point in time, my Barry Evans Career Profile is incomplete, but I have every intention of updating it, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1998, I set up a website, to include some of Craig Charles Poetry, and I also set up a website, which included an interview, that Craig had done for The Official Liverpool Football Club Magazine, which I linked to my Unofficial Craig Charles website!
During 1999, I also set up some links to my Unofficial Craig Charles website, for The Robot Wars website and The Suzanne Rhatigan website. Suzanne Rhatigan starred as Camille Kochanski in Camille, Episode I, Red Dwarf IV. She was also Craig Charles girlfriend for a time, and she is also a professional singer! For more information about that, please go to my Unofficial Craig Charles website!
During 1999, I also set up a Craig Charles Career Profile! Plus An Interview From Cult TV Magazine! website, which is linked to my Unofficial Craig Charles website! It is more or less up to date, but it is always updated, especially where Craig's career is concerned, whenever I can get the time!
During the year 2000, I sorted out a brief promotion for Craig's book: The Log: A Dwarfer's Guide To Everything. I also intend to review Craig's books: The Craig Charles Almanac Of Total Knowledge and The Log: A Dwarfer's Guide To Everything, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During the year 2000, I linked Craig's United Kingdom Touring Dates Guide to my Unofficial Craig Charles website.
During 2002, I linked the BBC Radio 6 website to my Unofficial Craig Charles website and my Craig Charles Profile! Plus An Interview From Cult TV Magazine website!
I have also got some more features available, which I set up, via my Unofficial Captain Butler website, during 1998, which includes a brief comparison between Captain Butler and the childrens 1950's cartoon series Captain Pugwash. Captain Butler was definitely more of an adult version of Captain Pugwash from the very sexy way, that Craig Charles portrayed Captain Butler! And I also mentioned, the modern cartoon version of Captain Pugwash, which aired on ITV, during 1998, and I also intend to review the episode of Captain Pugwash, I saw, during 1998, as soon as it is possible, for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1998, I linked my The Captain Butler Non-Maritime People And Non-Maritime Incidents web page, to my Unofficial Captain Butler website, which so far includes very brief details about The Mary Celeste Mystery and Admiral Horatio Nelson! During 1998 I also set up The Captain Good And Evil Pirates website, which so far, includes details, about Blackbeard and Sir Francis Drake!
During 1998, I linked my The Butler's web page to my Unofficial Captain Butler website, which includes details about every Butler ever known, but so far, I have only got some brief details set up about the poet: Samuel Butler. I am not sure, whether I will keep that particular website in question, because I am not sure that it is all that relevant to the show! But my Unofficial Captain Butler website is in a desperate need of revamping, just like all of my other websites! And I will get round to revamping my Unofficial Captain Butler website, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During December 2001, I linked my The Captain Butler Episode List website to my Unofficial Captain Butler website, which includes cast details and the plot summaries for all episodes of the series, which was a great leap forward for me, where my Unofficial Captain Butler website, was concerned, anyhow!
Incidentally, my Barry Evans website is also linked up to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, as well as my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, and that link in question, will have to come off my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, as soon as it is possible, for me to do so! My Barry Evans website was originally linked up, to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, because Paul didn't set up my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, until 1998. And therefore, it was merely a question, of duplicating the link, for my Barry Evans website on to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website. And my Craig Charles website link and my Unofficial Captain Butler website link, are also linked to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, as well as my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website. But I merely intend, to move my Unofficial Craig Charles website link, and my Unofficial Captain Butler website link, on to my Xanadu Red Dwarf Links website, at some point in time, and delete them, off my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. And it is also my intention, to keep my Unofficial Craig Charles website link, and my Unofficial Captain Butler website link, on my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, anyhow! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 1998, I set up a Red Dwarf Fanzine, which was also called: Xanadu. My intentions, were, to publish short Science Fiction stories, and they could be Red Dwarf related, Doctor Who related, Star Trek (all Star Trek series!) and the X Files. I was also interested in receiving horror stories, and anything of a comedic nature, or even original fiction, for the fanzine! For my very first and last edition of my fanzine Xanadu, I sorted out a Kubla Khan poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, for a bit of variation. But the intention of my Xanadu fanzine, was not to feature any reviews, of Red Dwarf, whatsoever! Even though, I insisted on having a Red Dwarf editiorial for my Xanadu fanzine, which would feature, very brief news, about Red Dwarf and updates on the work of the cast, outside Red Dwarf itself, naturally! The editorial also included, some very brief information about myself, of course, including my website address, naturally! And my editorial basically stated, what my Xanadu Red Dwarf fanzine was all about, of course! And my editorial, also included the listings of all the Red Dwarf Fan Clubs, the various Red Dwarf fanzines, the various Red Dwarf websites, and all of the various Red Dwarf organisations, that were about, at the time! And I also had a Contents section in my Xanadu Red Dwarf fanzine, naturally!
Unfortunately however, I only managed to sell one copy of my fanzine Xanadu, during the Winter of 1998. But I was fortunate enough to receive my first and only piece of Red Dwarf, Fan Fiction, called: 'Pickled', by Rob Burriss (who had some of his Fan Fiction and various reviews, published, courtesy, of The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, over the past couple of years!), and the story concept was by Pete Doyce. Incidentally, it was Rob Burriss who purchased my one and only copy of my Xanadu Red Dwarf fanzine in the first place! Incidentally, 'Pickled' touched on Lister and Rimmer's life, before Red Dwarf, which I found to be very interesting indeed, and it isn't a very common factor, where some Red Dwarf Fan Fiction contributors, are concerned! And I have still got the editorial of Xanadu, in Microsoft Works format! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope on my Xanadu Red Dwarf fanzine, when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day! 'Pickled' is now in htm format, and I intend to include it on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, as soon as it is possible, for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
Rob Burriss has set up his own Red Dwarf Fanzine called: "The Pickle Jar", during the year 2000, I think! And I do intend to contact Rob, via snail mail and by telephone, and I also intend to email his website: The Pickle Jar - Red Dwarf Fiction and MORE! at a later date, as soon as it is possible, for me to do so! And my intention is, to see, if he will publish, my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction Set On The Dwarf at a later date. But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
My husband Paul was kind enough to set up a web page for me, via Paul and Lynne Guy's Worldwide Web Workshop website, during 1998, which was originally called: Lynne's Starter Page. Paul did this for me, because he felt that my website information, was taking over our main page in the end! And Paul felt, that it was concealing his own interests to a certain extent, and all Paul had to do, was paste on, all of the information, that I had written, into a brand new starter page! And as long as he left me, with a link to the starter page, via our own website, with a minimum amount of information, about myself, that would be more than enough for me! And I had intended, to set up an independent website, sooner or later, anyway, because I felt, during 1997, that even though, my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, was more than sufficient enough, to display Red Dwarf information, past and present, I really did feel, that it wasn't really sufficient enough ,to explain to the internet community, about my own interests, outside Red Dwarf, really! And therefore, Paul gave me a bit of a push, where that was concerned, anyhow! And I also felt, that it was probably for the best, if I merely called myself just plain Lynne Guy to give me a separate identity, where my own personal interests, were concerned, because I didn't want to make too much of a fuss, where setting up a Central Information Database was concerned, anyhow! And I would rather the internet community, identify with the website itself, rather than the person who was running it, in the first place! And just basically concentrate, on the variety of mixed subjects, that would interest them in general, on the website itself, anyhow! With regard to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, the internet community on the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup have associated my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction and my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, with my pen name, Marie Birch, rather than Lynne Guy. And therefore, it is far more useful for me, to retain my pen name: Marie Birch, when I have got my Red Dwarf hat on, so to speak!
But it has taken me a lot longer, than I originally thought to get Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, up and running, and during 1998, I didn't achieve very much with it, apart from setting up the links, to the Wolverhampton Adult Education website, where I do my Drama class and a link for the Radio series: I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again website. And apart from the links for my main websites, that Paul had pasted on, via our World Wide Web Workshop website, that was basically all that I achieved, via my Lynne Guy's General Information and Classic British Comedy website, during 1998, anyhow!
During 1998, I also set up some links for the alt.tv.red-dwarf and alt.comedy.british and alt.fiction.original newsgroups, where I have been posting my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, and various other articles, since 1997, onwards, via my Lynne Guy's General Information and Classic British Comedy website. And I am also aiming, to link the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup and the alt.comedy.british newsgroup, on to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, at some point, in the near future. With regard to the alt.fiction.original newsgroup, I really cannot say, whether I will link, that particular newsgroup in question, to my other websites, at the moment, anyhow.
With regard to my continual Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, which I have been posting to the alt.tv.red-dwarf and alt.comedy.british and alt.fiction.original and alt.comics.fan-fiction newsgroups, since 1997, onwards (with the exception of the alt.fiction.original newsgroup, when I decided, to start posting my work to them, from 1998, onwards, and the alt.comics.fan-fiction newsgroup, when I decided to start posting my work to them, from the year 2000, onwards). And it has since been updated, during the year 2000, and it is now actually set on the Dwarf, because it wasn't very well-received, via the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup, when I aimed it from my character: Princess Argana's, point of view! As a matter of fact, my newly updated version of my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction hasn't been very well-received by the subscribers to the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup. But one or two people had a change of heart on the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup, during September 2001, via my last, but one posting to the group. But they didn't go out of their way, to praise my work on the group, via my last newsgroup posting, during March 2002! But I do not give up, as easily, as all that, when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day! And my new version of my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction, has now been set up on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. I will be getting rid of the old version of my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan Fiction on my website, at a later date.
A report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge, which had originally been published, in an edition of The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's fanzine: Better Than Life, and The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, during 1998. And I had originally downloaded the report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge, off The Inquisitor Red Dwarf's Fanzine in Northern Ireland's website: The Inquisitor Homepage, which was set up by Daryl Ball during 1998. And I had converted the report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge in to html format and I uploaded it, on to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, with Daryl's kind permission, of course! Bless Him! And Kevin had also uploaded the report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge, on to his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, and it was available for downloading, from 1998 to 1999. But the report of Daryl Ball's Day On The Set Of Red Dwarf Universe Challenge is still available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website!
My Timeslides: Episode V: Red Dwarf III review, was also originally available for downloading, via Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website from 1998, and it is still available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website!
But I was more or less on my own after that, and during December 1998, I cannot remember the exact date, at this point in time, and I will come to that, at a later date, anyhow. Paul and I had tickets to go and see, what we thought, was the very last episode of Red Dwarf VIII filmed live at Shepperton Studios, in Shepperton. And immediately after we saw Red Dwarf VIII filmed live, I wrote a review of Red Dwarf Series Eight Live! At Shepperton Studios, which mainly covered the episodes Back In The Red I to III, but it was deliberately filmed, all over the place, so that you wouldn't get the plot, until Red Dwarf was aired, in the New Year of 1999! And we also provided some of the laughter track for a bit of Pete I, Episode VI, Red Dwarf VIII! I also managed to email my review of Red Dwarf Series Eight Live! At Shepperton Studios to Kevin, during 1999. And even though, Kevin, professed an interest, in my review of Red Dwarf Series Eight Live! At Shepperton Studios, he never got round to publishing it, on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, but my review of Red Dwarf Series Eight Live! At Shepperton Studios, has been available for downloading, on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website since 1999 and it has also been published, via The Danny John-Jules Fan Club's fanzine, during 1999!
During 1999, I set up a link for The Cats Protection League Headquarters website, via my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, which also gave out some information about our first cat Holly, whom we originally acquired, from our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills branch, but as our beloved cat Holly died, during September 1999, that particular section of my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, has since been amended, to include some new information, about our new cat Jess, whom we acquired, from our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills branch, during October 1999, which I added on, to the page, during 2001, and more recently, during the Spring of 2002!
During 1999, I had a letter published about my views of: The Explanation For The Time Drive In Transporting The Red Dwarf Posse Back To Earth In Tikka To Ride (Episode I, Red Dwarf VII) As Well As The Heady Medieval Atmosphere Of 15th Century Space! via The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's Fanzine: Better Than Life's postal section, and I also had a response to it, via a letter in The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club's postal section. I also sent my views of: The Explanation For The Time Drive In Transporting The Red Dwarf Posse Back To Earth In Tikka To Ride (Episode I, Red Dwarf VII) As Well As The Heady Medieval Atmosphere of 15th Century Space! to Kevin, during 1999. And even though, Kevin, professed an interest, in my review of: The Explanation For The Time Drive In Transporting The Red Dwarf Posse Back To Earth In Tikka To Ride: (Episode I, Red Dwarf VII) As Well As The Heady Medieval Atmosphere of 15th Century Space! He never got round to publishing it, on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website. But my review of: The Explanation For The Time Drive In Transporting The Red Dwarf Posse Back To Earth In Tikka To Ride: (Episode I, Red Dwarf VII) As Well As The Heady Medieval Atmosphere of 15th Century Space! has been available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website since 1999. During December 2000, I also added an additional section to it, via my newsgroup format posting of The Explanation For The Time Drive In Transporting The Red Dwarf Posse Back To Earth In Tikka To Ride (Episode I, Red Dwarf VII) As Well As The Heady Medieval Atmosphere of 15th Century Space! to the alt.tv.red-dwarf newsgroup, because I really did value the response, that I had received, via my newsgroup posting, during 1999!
During 1999, I also set up a web page, which is basically for the Lyrics For Red Dwarf Related Music which is linked to my Xanadu Red Dwarf site. So far, my Lyrics For Red Dwarf Related Music website, includes The Legend Of Xanadu, sung by Dave Dee, Doxy, Beaky, Mick and Tich. That song in question was mentioned by the Presenter Blaize Falconburger in Timeslides, Episode V, Red Dwarf III! And I have also got the lyrics for Xanadu sung by Olivia Newton-John, accompanied by The Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O), plus a review of the film Xanadu, starring Olivia Newton-John, and the late Gene Kelly of Singing In The Rain fame! Olivia Newton-John was mentioned by Holly in an episode of Red Dwarf, but at this point in time, I cannot recall the exact episode of Red Dwarf in question. But I will come back to that, at a later date! But my Lyrics for Red Dwarf Related Music website, remains permanently available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. I also sent my Lyrics For Red Dwarf Related Music to Kevin, during 1999. And even though, Kevin, professed an interest, in my Lyrics For Red Dwarf Related Music website, he never got round to publishing it, on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website.
During the year 2000, I did a review of the Red Dwarf Extended Episodes: Tikka To Ride, Ouroboros, Duct Soup, Plus As An Additional Bonus: Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, Tenth Anniversary Smeg Outs, Red Dwarf Universe Challenge And The Children In Need Sketch. I also sent my review of the Red Dwarf Extended Episodes Tikka To Ride, Ouroboros, Duct Soup, Plus As An Additional Bonus: Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, Tenth Anniversary Smeg Outs, Red Dwarf Universe Challenge And The Children In Need Sketch to Kevin, during the year 2000. And even though, Kevin, professed an interest, in my review of the Red Dwarf VII Extended Episodes: Tikka To Ride, Ouroboros, Duct Soup, Plus As An Additional Bonus: Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, Tenth Anniversary Smeg Outs, Red Dwarf Universe Challenge And The Children In Need Sketch, he never got round to publishing it on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website. But my review of the Red Dwarf VII Extended Episodes: Tikka To Ride, Ouroboros, Duct Soup, Plus As An Additional Bonus: Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, Tenth Anniversary Smeg Outs, Red Dwarf Universe Challenge And The Children In Need Sketch, remains permanently available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. I have also snail mailed and emailed my review of the Red Dwarf VII Extended Episodes: Tikka To Ride, Ouroboros, Duct Soup, Plus As An Additional Bonus: Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg, Tenth Anniversary Smeg Outs, Red Dwarf Universe Challenge And The Children In Need Sketch to The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, and hopefully, it will get published outside the internet, one day! Well, I certainly live in hope, where that is concerned, anyhow!
During the year 2000, I did a review of the first three episodes of Red Dwarf VIII: Back In The Red I to III. I also sent my review of the first three episodes of Back In The Red I to III to Kevin, during the year 2000. And even though, Kevin, professed an interest, in my review of the first three episodes of Red Dwarf VIII: Back In The Red I to III, he never got round to publishing it on on his Puzlebox Red Dwarf website. Incidentally, that was the last web article, that I emailed, via attachment, to Kevin, because I officially found out, via a telephone call to Kevin, during December 2000, that he had officially closed his Hobbies websites down, during the Spring of the year 2000 (For more information about that, please refer to my details, about Kevin's influence, via my web publishing, as above!)! And at that point in time, from January 2001, I was officially on my own, where my web publishing was concerned! But my review of the first three episodes of Red Dwarf VIII: Back In The Red I to III, remains permanently available for downloading, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf website. I have also snail mailed and emailed my review of the first three episodes of Red Dwarf VIII: Back In The Red I to III to the Danny John-Jules Fan Club, and hopefully, it will get published outside the internet, one day! Well, I certainly live in hope, where that is concerned, anyhow!
I intend to review, the remaining Red Dwarf VIII episodes: Cassandra, Krytie TV, Pete I, Pete II and Only The Good at a later date. I have made a bit of a start on reviewing Cassandra, Episode IV, and Pete I, Episode VI, Red Dwarf VIII! And the new web page in question has been linked to my Xanadu Red Dwarf website since the year 2000, but when I will actually get round to reviewing the rest of Red Dwarf VIII, remains to be seen! Especially as I have got a great deal of catching up, where my web pages are concerned, including this particular web page, which is all about me! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it actually comes down to it at the end of the day, that is all that you can do, isn't it?! But I do intend to snail mail and email my review of the remaining Red Dwarf VIII episodes: Cassandra, Krytie TV, Pete I, Pete II and Only The Good to the Danny John-Jules Fan Club, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, closed down towards the end of 1998, due to a low database, which was a terrible loss, especially as the fanzine was not entirely Red Dwarf related, and it featured articles on Star Trek (all series), Babylon 5 (I am not a fan of the show, but I was interested in reading up, all about it, all the same!) The X Files, V, and various other Science Fiction series such as Lost In Space (the sixties series, and not the recent movie of the series!) and U.F.O (the sixties series, featuring Ed Bishop) and Space 1999! The Inquistor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, was in my general opinion, a mixture between Starburst and the now defunct Red Dwarf magazine: Red Dwarf Smegazine! And the fanzine also featured a General Knowledge Science Fiction Quiz, for it's bumper special editions, which featured, some Red Dwarf questions, naturally! Daryl did consider, running The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland in a reduced format, to reduce printing costs, and basically keep the fanzine, going as a bumper edition on an annual basis, but nothing ever came of that, unfortunately however, even though, I did offer Daryl my support, where that was concerned, as much as it was possible for me to do so! But unfortunately however, it was just not to be. And therefore, The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, ceased publication, towards the end of 1998.
Fortunately however, I have got their website safely downloaded, and Daryl Ball has been kind enough, to give me permission to take over the website, even though he orignally lost the website, via a system crash, on his computer, during 1999. but as I downloaded The Inquisitor Homepage, during 1998, I emailed the web page to him, via several attachments in write and htm format, just to be on the safe side. I did feel that things were a bit odd, where that was concerned, especially, as I could access the Inquisitor Homepage myself, via our own ISP, anyhow. But apparently, Daryl informed me, that his server wasn't allowing him access, to his website, and I felt, that may have been due to the system crash, via his computer, during 1999.
And even though, Daryl was extremely grateful for my recovering the Inquisitor Homepage website for him, Daryl informed me, that he no longer has the time to run the website, at that point in time, due to his commitments, with his band: Totally Stripped, and looking after his two children Holly and Matthew. Daryl had got good intentions, where the running of his website, was concerned in the near future, but in the end, Daryl and his family emigrated to New Zealand, during 2001. And therefore, his connection with Red Dwarf was closed, for once and for all! And I will definitely take over The Inquisitor Homepage at a later date, when time allows! The original link to the website will have to be deleted, via my Xanadu Red Dwarf Links website, and a new link, will have to be set up for The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Homepage, before I can do anything! I also intend, to set up Junior Encyclopaedia Of Space Section website, via The Inquisitor Homepage, at a later date! I feel, that I owe Daryl, quite a lot, for publishing my work in The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, from 1997 to 1998. And I will get the The Inquisitor Homepage re-linked to my Xanadu Red Dwarf Links website, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
And Kevin also expressed an interest in the work of The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, because I had mailed him a copy of The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, as a partial payment, towards the mailing list, and he had informed me, that he was interested, in doing a banner advertisement for the fanzine, at some point in the future, via his Computer Aided Design skills. And Kevin was going to write to Daryl at some point in time, but he never got round to it, unfortunately however! And Daryl informed me, via his correspondence, during 1997, that he hadn't heard from Kevin, at that point in time, anyhow. But as The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland closed down towards the end of 1998, Kevin's proposed banner advertisement for the fanzine, proved to be totally irrelevant in the end, anyhow!
During September 1999, our beloved cat Holly died, and during October 1999, I snail mailed Holly's obituary to our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills local branch magazine. And Joan Hawes the editor, at the time, was kind enough to publish Holly's obituary, for me, via our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills local branch magazine, during October 1999. But she couldn't publish my photograph of her, as Joan, just hadn't got the funds available for a scanner, which was quite understandable, really! But it was no trouble for me, to sort out a copy of a photograph of Holly, at her peak, in our garden, during the Summer of 1998, for Joan to keep forever, especially as she had cleaned out her pen from time to time, during the six months that Holly was in their care. And she had grown very fond of Holly, during those six months, in question, and I also sorted out a copy of the same photograph of Holly to Ann Teale, Holly's carer to keep forever. Ann had also grown very fond of Holly, during the six months in her care. And I also managed to give Ann and Joan the copies of that particular photograph in question, of Holly, during our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills branch Quiz Night, during October 1999.
During the year 2000, The Danny John-Jules Fan Club fanzine were kind enough to publish the same obituary of Holly, along with that particular photograph in question of Holly, at her peak, in our garden, during the Summer of 1998, because they had got the funds available for a scanner, which was quite understandable, really!
Prior to that, during 1999, I had also snail mailed a copy of our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills local branch magazine to The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, about all of the good works, of our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills branch, which I had sent in to The Danny John-Jules Fan club, during the Spring of 1999, which was utterly soul destroying for me, especially as Holly had died so suddenly, during September 1999. But as Marie Gilbert had got back to me on that, via my stamped addressed envelope to her, and as they were going to publish a page, of our copy of our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills local branch magazine, with some relevant information on it, to encourage their subscribers to join the Headquarters of The Cats Protection League, anyway, I decided to snail mail them a copy of Holly's obituary, and that particular photograph of her, at her peak, in our garden, during the Summer of 1998. And as Marie was kind enough to do this for us, this meant that a page, of our copy of our local Cats Protection League Aldridge and Brownhills local branch magazine, with some relevant information on it, to encourage their subscribers to join the Headquarters of The Cats Protection League, and Holly's obituary and photograph, were all published at the same time, in the fanzine, which as it turned out, was probably for the best anyhow, but more on that, at a later date!
Paul and I have acquired a new black and white cat called Jess, during October 1999, but more information about that on my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website! And I also intend to publish Holly's obituary, via my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, at a later date!
During the year 2000, I copied off a review about Maid Marian And Her Merry Men, and a review of Craig Charles: 'Live On Earth' show video (not originally written by me! I can't recall to mind, who wrote those reviews, at this point in time, but I can always look into that, at a later date!), which was originally published, via The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, and I snail mailed it to The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, as I felt that Danny John-Jules might be interested in seeing the review of the show at the very least, from another Red Dwarf fanzines point of view, and the review about Maid Marian And Her Merry Men and a review of Craig Charles: 'Live On Earth' show video, which had originally been published in The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine, and it was also published, via The Danny John-Jules Fan Club's fanzine, during the year 2000!
During 2001, I also linked up some website information to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, about Wildlife Park Kirkcudbright at Lochfergus Plantation, just outside Kirkcudbright, near the town of Dumfries, Kirkcudbrightshire in the Scottish region of Dumfries and Galloway, which we have visited twice, on our holidays, during the Spring of 1997 and the Spring of 1999. And this information, also includes my point of view, about my favourite Televisual Pussy Cats including Top Cat and Green Moon Cat. I garnered this, because of a gentleman, who goes by the name of Anthony Maples from Lymington, Chesire, mentioned in a letter, via The Official Red Dwarf fanzines: Better Than Life, postal section, about the Green Moon Cat, who had appeared, with the late Beryl Reid, on an early 1980's childrens programme. I vaguely remember, the Green Moon Cat, who also had a voice, which sounded very similar to Sparky's Magic Piano, which is sometimes played on BBC Radio Two's Sound Of The Sixties on a Saturday morning. I also like Bagpuss, Sylvester and Tweety Pie, Tom and Jerry, and I really love the kitten sitting on the hand in the Whiskas adverts, and there are the Arthur and Sheba adverts, naturally!
I have also snail mailed this article to The Danny John-Jules Fan Club, and hopefully, it will get published outside the internet, one day! Well, I certainly live in hope, where that is concerned, anyhow!
During 2001, I also linked Kevin's personal details and his Hobbies website and his Business website to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website (For more information about that, please refer to my details about Kevin's influence, via my web publishing, as above!). And during 2002, I copied Kevin's personal details and extended the information on the web page, all about myself!
During 2001, I linked up a website to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, for the Radio series: The Men From The Ministry. I made a start on my website for the Plot Summaries of the scripts on my Men From The Ministry website, last year. The episode list was all set up because The Men From The Ministry website was not officially my website to begin with! The Men From The Ministry website had originally been set up by some students at the University of Cambridge, during 1997. Paul had downloaded a picture of The Men From The Ministry, which was featured on the very first audio cassette of the series, incidentally And that picture in question was re-linked to the website, last year, anyhow! It was a great shame when The Men From The Ministry website closed down during 1998 and Paul and I thought that it was a terrible loss, when that happened. But fortunately however, as I had downloaded, The Men From The Ministry's mainframe page, in Write/Wordpad format, during 1997, it was no trouble for me, to convert the text, into htm format and re-link the Men From The Ministry's old mainframe website to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website! And naturally, I have not taken the credit, for setting up The Men From The Ministry website, and I have credited the original setting up, of The Men From The Ministry website, to the students, at the University of Cambridge, in the first place, via the introduction of The Men From The Ministry website, which was really no trouble, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day! There is a lot more work, that needs doing, to The Men From The Ministry's website, but it is still very early days, where that is concerned, and it was more than a struggle, just to get The Men From The Ministry's website re-launched all over again, last year! And therefore, we will just have to see, exactly how it goes, where that is concerned, because, when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During 2001, I linked up a website to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, for the childrens comedy series: Maid Marian And Her Merry Men. So far, I have linked a photograph of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men and I have linked the Maid Marian Episode List to my Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website. I originally downloaded the photograph of Maid Marian And Her Merry Men to my Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website off a Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website, which is now in the process of closing down. Incidentally, I have linked my Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website to a new Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website, which was launched after Maid Marian And Her Merry Men was repeated on Childrens BBCTV last year, and as this particular Maid Marian And Her Merry Men has got far more interactive features on offer, than my Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website, I felt that it was well worth my while, in setting up a link to that particular Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website in general! And I have also stated a few facts, about the series, via my Maid Marian And Her Merry Men website, for fans of the series. And I also intend to set up a plot summaries for the scripts, as soon as it is possible for me to do so! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
Due to the terrorist attacks in the United States of America on September 11th 2001, the work on my websites, was delayed to a certain extent, for the time being, anyhow.
During 2002, I also set up a web link to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, for The Official Website of The British Monarchy, the day before Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother died, incidentally! And I also mentioned the death of Her Royal Highness, Princess Margaret, seven weeks before Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother died, anyhow.
During 2001, I linked my web page: All About Marie Birch to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, which again, exactly like the two Red Dwarf VII reviews, which still aren't available on my Xanadu Red Dwarf website, I just hadn't got round to including my web page: All About Marie Birch on my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, until last year. But unlike the two Red Dwarf VII reviews, I hadn't actually forgotten to link my web page: All About Marie Birch on to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website! And basically, when it actually came down to it, at the end of the day, I deliberately delayed, linking my web page: All About Marie Birch to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, because I wasn't aware, of what Kevin's plans for the future were, where his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, were concerned, until December 2000, anyway! (For more information about that, please refer to my details, about Kevin's influence, via my web publishing as above!) In other words, I really didn't know what to do for the best, where sorting out my web page: All About Marie Birch was concerned! And I decided to hang on for a bit longer, where making a decision about linking my web page: All About Marie Birch to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website was concerned, from 1998 to 2001, anyhow!
Incidentally however, during 1998, I had sort of forgotten about my web page: All About Marie Birch, because when I needed to locate it on our system, for the sole purpose, of linking it, to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, at a later date. And there was no way, that I could locate my web page: All About Marie Birch on our system, and I basically worked it out, that my web page: All About Marie Birch, which was in Write/Wordpad format at the time, had got lost somehow, during the system crash, that we had had, during the Spring of 1998! And in the end, I had no choice, but to go online, and download the web page: All About Marie Birch off Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, which fortunately however, for me, was still available for surfing and browsing, at that point in time! Fortunately however, I managed to download my web page: All About Marie Birch off Kevin's Puzlebox Red Dwarf website, which was now in htm format, and I also copied my web page: All About Marie Birch in to Write/Wordpad format as a safety net, so that I could have, an additional copy of my web page: All About Marie Birch, just in case, it got lost, all over again! And I also copied my web page: All About Marie Birch on to my discs, because I had also discovered, that I hadn't got my web page: All About Marie Birch, fully backed up, on to my discs in the first place! And Paul also did a full back up, on the system, via his back up drive, over the following weekend!
During 1998, I also lost my web page: On The Goodship Lady Captain, which is my Captain Butler Fan Fiction, and it is also linked to my Captain Butler website, on the system as well! And I had also lost my copy of the web page: On The Goodship Lady Captain, via my discs, as well! Fortunately however, I went online and downloaded, my web page: On The Goodship Lady Captain into htm format, and I also copied my web page: On The Goodship Lady Captain back on to my discs. And Paul also did a full back up, on the system, via his back up drive, over the following weekend!
And had Kevin decided to carry on with his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, he would have had an updated version of my web page: All About Marie Birch, off me, sooner or later, anyway! And as a consequence, because of my web page: All About Marie Birch's, most recently extended format, my web page: All About Marie Birch has now had to be split in to two halves, because the web editors: Front Page Express and WebExpress, kept on crashing, and they just couldn't take such a lengthy file, when it actually came down to it at the end of the day, anyhow! And I did have every intention of linking my web page: All About Marie Birch to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website, at some point in time, whatever Kevin decided to do, with regard to his Puzlebox Hobbies websites, anyway! It was merely a question, of when I would actually get round to linking my web page: All About Marie Birch to my Lynne Guy's General Information And Classic British Comedy website! But that has since been rectified, during 2001! And I have also updated my web page: All About Marie Birch, during the Spring of 2002!
I have got more projects lined up for my websites. And I will update this website accordingly in time! And these particular projects in question include my views on The Information Superhighway (the Internet!), Sophie the Neighbourly Pussycat, Holly our Pussycat and Jess our Pussycat. When these articles are all finally typed up, I intend to snail mail them to The Official Danny John Jules Fan Club's Fanzine, at a later date! But I have kept promising the editor Marie Gilbert, that I will send her these articles in question, since 1997! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
During the year 2000, I started to write a short independent Science Fiction story called Glutton, which is about an alien species of humanoids who are constantly indoctrinated to eat all the time, who live in a purpose built city, and they have their every desire catered for! And if any of them show any signs of humanity, they are to be exterminated! All for one Glutton, a top Science Officer Janessa Lewis, who manages to venture out of the city quite by chance one day, and she manages to make contact with another humanoid species, which has been forgotten about, over the years, and they teach Janessa humanoid values, over time... It has been my intention to snail mail and email my short independent Science Fiction story: Glutton for the Science Fiction short story magazine: Interzone, since the year 2000! Again, like everything else, I just haven't had the time to work on it lately! But I have every intention of getting it sorted out, sooner or later, anyhow! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
But my real dream of success of course is to pioneer the internet with more text! What I want to do, more that anything in the world, is to set up a Central Information Database, which will be mainly for General Access Information And Classic British Comedy. In other words, I would like the internet to become like the Teletext service on terrestrial televison, where accessing your day to day information is concerned, but in far more depth, of course! Unfortunately however, my dream, so far, as it has turned out, has actually turned into something of a nightmare! And even though, the original set up of my web pages, during January 1997, seemed fairly straightforward, to begin with, at first, I soon found out, that the more, that you develop your web pages, the more complicated the work becomes, especially, where the setting up, of all the links, to your own web pages and other users websites, are concerned! And the old saying: Rome wasn't built in a day, definitely leaps to mind, where that is concerned, as well! And it hasn't exactly helped matters, via having the additional stress of having to change our internet providers, four times, during 1998, either! And we had a really bad system crash, via our previous computer, during the Spring of 1998! And now, that Kevin, is no longer promoting my work, via his websites, I have realised, that I am well and truly on my own, where publishing my own web pages are concerned! (For more information about that, please refer to my details, about Kevin's influence, via my web publishing, as above!)
And it isn't exactly a five minute job to re-adjust where that is concerned, either! But I do not give up, as easily, as all that, and if I am destined to pioneer the internet with more text, then I have got no alternative, but to just carry on, where that is concerned! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
At some point in the near future, I may be doing possible voluntary work, as a co-presenter at Wulfrun Radio at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton, which may be a very good way of enhancing my presentation skills. I first became interested, in Radio Wulfrun's fundraising campaign for new radio equipment in the town, last year. I gave them a small contribution, as I have appreciated all the good work, that they have done for New Cross hospital over the years. And I was quite surprised, to read, in our local paper: The Express And Star, that Radio Wulfrun's old radio equipment, was clapped out, and that, it desperately needed replacing, at some point, in time! But the Station Manager: Warwick Mead's wife, Glynis's fundraising campaign, in the Mander Centre was very successful, and they managed to replace the old equipment, with the new equipment, in the end!
During October 2001, I paid a visit to the Radio Station. Warwick informed me, that he was interested in my acting achievements, and he stated, that he might be interested in taking me on at the Radio Station as a co-presenter. But at that point in time, they needed to train their current presenters on the new radio equipment, before they could even consider, taking anybody else on, and their old radio equipment was still up and running, well, just about, anyhow! But the woman, who they had got in, to train their current presenters was just not available at that point in time, due to work commitments, which was quite understandable, really! And Warwick, also lost my telephone number, which didn't exactly help matters, and he ended up passing on my details, to his recruitment people, and it took, quite a considerable amount of time, for my application details, to be processed, in the meantime, anyhow!
I finally received my application form, during February 2002, and I have since obtained a reference off my Drama teacher Susan Clark, anyhow. But as I have got my acting examination, to re-take during July 2002, and I will just have to leave my application to the Radio Station, for the time being, anyhow. But I have made photostat copies, of my application form, just to be on the safe side, anyhow. And I have also sent my apologies on, to the recruitment people at Radio Wulfrun, to let them know, that there will be a delay, where my application is concerned. And we have decided, to take it from there, for the time being anyhow. And as long as they are in the picture, where that is concerned, then that is all, that really matters, when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, isn't it?!
But I will have to start off, as a Ward Walker, for requests, before I can do anything! But I really cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, exactly what happens, where that is concerned, because, when it comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
Paul and I, have met, the Red Dwarf Cast, at the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1995 Convention (with the exception of Chris Barrie!), and the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1997 Convention. And this time, we met: Chris Barrie, and Chloe Annett, and they were, very nice, incidentally!). I have had my Red Dwarf books, signed at the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1995, and the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1997 Conventions, even though, they were far too numerous to mention! But the Red Dwarf books, that I recall having signed, at the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1995, and the Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1997 Conventions, to date are: The Red Dwarf Quiz Book (First edition), The Red Dwarf Omnibus which includes the books: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life, The Last Human, The Official Red Dwarf Companion, The Making Of Red Dwarf, Red Dwarf: The Least Worst Scripts: Primordial Soup, The Man in the Rubber Mask and The Craig Charles Almanac Of Total Knowledge. The Red Dwarf Space Corps Survival Manual, my book of Sense And Sensibility by Jane Austen, which I had signed as a laugh by the cast, because of Jane Austen World, which was featured in Beyond A Joke, Episode VI, Red Dwarf VII! And I have had my photograph taken with the cast of Red Dwarf, quite a number of times!
Paul and I, have seen: Craig's: Former: Live on
Earth! Show, at Oxford Brookes University, at the Headington
Campus, just outside, Oxford, Oxfordshire. I am afraid, that we had not, been fortunate enough, to
meet, Craig, afterwards. But that said, however, Craig’s: Former: Manager: Jack
Peploe, from: Craig’s Company: The Smeg Corporation (from 1990, up until, 1999), had been,
kind enough, to get Craig, to sign, my Craig Charles: Live Official
Bootleg Tour VHS Video, for me! And Jack, had also,
been kind enough, to sort out, a free Signed Poster, of Craig’s: Former: Live
on Earth! Show, via Craig, himself, for me!
Paul and I, have also seen: Red Dwarf VIII, Filmed Live, but we didn't get to meet, the Red Dwarf Cast, afterwards, due to time constraints.
Paul and I, have also seen, Craig, make an appearance, at Dudley Town Hall, Dudley, West Midlands, via his Former: Still Live on Earth! Show. And, we had also met, Craig, afterwards, and I got him, to sign, my copy, of: The Log: A Dwarfer's Guide To Everything. And, we had also met, Russell Bell, who had also, co-written: Craig's Books: The Craig Charles Almanac of Total Knowledge and The Log: A Dwarfer's Guide To Everything. And, I also got Russell Bell, whom I had originally met, at the Annual: Red Dwarf Dimension Jump 1997 Convention, to sign, my copy, of: The Log: A Dwarfer's Guide To Everything! And, I also had, my photograph, taken with Craig, afterwards!
I also intend, to review: Craig's: Former: Still Live on Earth! Show, at Dudley Town Hall, Dudley, West Midlands, during 1999, for my Unofficial Craig Charles Website, at a later date. But in all honesty, I cannot, really say, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse, to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just, have to wait and see, just exactly, what happens, where that is concerned, because when, it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
I received a personal email from Craig during
1999, with regard to his, taking an interest, in my Alternative Red Dwarf Fan
Fiction Set On The Dwarf, which he was interested, in including, in his: brand
new: Official Craig Charles Fan Club’s: Fanzine: Smeghead.
Unfortunately however, Craig has not, got back to me, on that, since then. But
that said, however, Craig’s brand new: Manager: Dave Dempster,
had been kind enough, to email me back, with regard to the setting up, of
Craig's brand new: Official Craig Charles Fan Club, from time to time!
Paul and I have seen Craig perform with his Band: The Eye, at Birmingham Glee Club, Birmingham, West Midlands, during the year 2000. And, I met Craig again, afterwards and I got him to sign his Poetry Book: No Other Blue, along with the First Edition, of his: Former: Official Craig Charles Fan Club’s: Fanzine: Smeghead, whose Front Cover, had featured him, as Captain Butler, at the time! And I had my photograph taken, with Craig, afterwards!
I also intend, to review, Craig performing, with his Band: The Eye, at Birmingham Glee Club, Birmingham, West Midlands, during the year 2000, for my Unofficial Craig Charles Website, at a later date. But in all honesty, I cannot, really say, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse, to give up hope, as easily, as all that! And therefore, we will just, have to wait and see, just exactly, what happens, where that is concerned, because when, it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
And, I had also been, fortunate enough, to meet, Craig Charles, several times, since then, during March 2001 and November 2001, at The Birmingham NEC Memorabilia Fair, Birmingham, West Midlands, along with other Celebrities, far too numerous, to mention, including: Clare Grogan, Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Elizabeth Sladen, Katy Manning, Phillip Madoc, Sue Lloyd, Ian Lavendar, Liz Frazer, Valerie Leon, and Carol Cleveland! And, I had also seen, the late Ken Russell, who had directed: Women In Love, which had starred, Alan Bates and the late Oliver Reed. And the late Director: Ken Russell, had also helped, Robert Llewellyn out, where Producing, and Directing, a Wedding, at Fordhouses, near Wolverhampton (which is only down the road, from where we live!), was concerned, via a Camcorder recorder, which had been, specially done, for his: Channel Four: I Camcorder, series, at the time! And, the late Director: Ken Russell had also been, married to Hetty Baynes, who had starred, as the voice of the Cockpit Computer, in Dimension Jump, Episode V, Red Dwarf IV! And, I would also like to meet, Kenny Baker, who had starred, as R2D2 in Star Wars, in the Star Wars Films, one day! Unfortunately however, the queue, to meet him, had been, that absolutely crowded, with people, I could not, even see, any sign of him, at the time! And, I had also seen, and met, the Hammer Horror Film Actress: the late Ingrid Pitt, and I did meet her, one day! And, I had also found, the Hammer Horror Film Actress: the late Ingrid Pitt, to be, a very nice, and a very funny, and a very witty, charming woman, indeed, at the time!
And Craig, had been, more than, kind enough, to sign,
my Red Dwarf Programme Guide, which had covered, Red Dwarf VII, and a copy, of
The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine in Northern Ireland, which had also, included
a review, of Captain Butler, which had been, the review, of Captain Butler,
which I had originally, written, for The Inquisitor Red Dwarf Fanzine, in
Northern Ireland, during 1997, incidentally! And Craig, had also been, more
than, kind enough, to sign, a pile of Red Dwarf Smegazine’s,
that I had also bought, at The Birmingham NEC Memorabilia Fair, Birmingham,
West Midlands, at the time! And Craig, had also been, more than, kind enough,
to sign, my copy, of the Third Edition, of his: Official Craig Charles Fan
Club’s: Fanzine: Smeghead, whose Front Cover, had
also, featured him, as Captain Butler, at the time! And Craig, had also been,
more than, kind enough, to sign, the free Photograph, and a Poster, which had
been included, as a Free Gift, to the Members, of his: Official Craig Charles
Fan Club, at the time, which I had felt, had been, very nice of him, indeed,
incidentally! And Craig, had also been, more than, kind enough, to sign, my
copy, of Backwards and The Official Red Dwarf Companion! And Craig, had also
been, more than, kind enough, to sign, my copy, of my Craig Charles: Sickbag Video, which I had also purchased, at The
Birmingham NEC Memorabilia Fair, Birmingham, West Midlands, at the time! And
naturally, I have also purchased, some photographs, of Craig, courtesy,
of The Stamp Centre Stall, along with some: Red Dwarf Coffee Mats, which
Craig, had also been, more than, kind enough, to sign, for me, at the time!
And, I have also had, my Photograph taken, with Craig, quite a number of times,
at The Birmingham NEC Memorabilia Fair, Birmingham, West Midlands, anyhow!
I also intend, to review, all of my experiences, of The Birmingham NEC Memorabilia Fair, Birmingham, West Midlands, during March 2001 and November 2002, for my Unofficial Craig Charles Website, at a later date! But I really, cannot say, in all honesty, when that will be, at this point in time, anyhow! And once again, I utterly refuse, to give up hope, as easily, as all that, where that is concerned, when all is said and done! And therefore, we will just have to wait and see, just exactly, what happens, where that is concerned, because when it actually comes down to it, at the end of the day, that is all, that you can do, isn't it?!
And, I had also got on, very well, indeed, with
Helen Norman, who had been: Grant Naylor Productions: former: Personal
Assistant, over the years. And, I had also got on, fairly well, indeed, with
Jack Peploe, who had been, Craig's: Former: Manager,
from: Craig’s Company: The Smeg Corporation, from
1990, up until, 1999. And, I had always found, that they, had both, always
proved, to be, very helpful, indeed, especially, where all, of the Red Dwarf
related information, and the non related Red Dwarf information, had been
concerned, which I had asked, them about, over the years, when all had been
said and done, anyhow! And, I had really needed, to be fully aware, with
regard, to where all, of the Red Dwarf related information, and the non related
Red Dwarf information, had been concerned, which I had asked, them about, over
the years, when all had been said and done, anyhow!
And, this concludes, the Second Part of my Curriculum Vitae, all about myself.
Thank you
Marie Birch
