Life's Too Short & An Idiot Abroad 2

Apparently there will be a second series of An Idiot Abroad, which will focus on Karl experiencing 'bucket list' activities, which are things that people typically say you should do before you die. There are no other clues as to what these will include and Ricky has said that Karl is 'asking more questions this time around', considering what he went through last time. They start filming soon.

I would love to see Karl swimming with dolphins, climbing a mountain or running a marathon. Good news indeed.

I can't wait for Life's Too Short to air. After seeing the pilot episode the BBC have commisioned a full six-episode series. The sitcom will centre around Warwick Davis and will be a fictionalized account of his day-to-day struggles with being shorter than the average person. The series will include cameos by both Gervais and Merchant who will play themselves.

Depending on the success of the series there may even be a Life's Too Short film. The humour has been described by Ricky as being similar to that of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

What would we do without Karl, Ricky and Steve.

An idea for a band.

I thought of an idea of a band who make music designed to sound as if it is a soundtrack for an old retro games console. Each album could be presented as a soundtrack for a fictional game, so that when you listen to the album you feel like your going through the game's levels. Each album's inlay could be presented as a 'manual' for the game (which doesn't exist) and there could be lots of pages going in to detail on what are actually very simplistic controls, with a small line of text on the last page saying 'music by...'

They could bring out an album for each console (megadrive, Amiga, Gameboy, N64) with each 'soundtrack' conjuring up what the console and its games were all about.

I don't know if this has been done...it seemed like a reasonable idea in my head.
