I've been working on this since 2005!

Also, I'm playing at Gaby Bila's Fuel night in Berlin on May the 11th. More details soon.

where did you find the terrifying Christmas display?? (The Miss Haversham bits are kind of freaky, as are the you-facing-you bits, in the way where that's a good thing, if that makes sense)

(I totally owe you a phone call - am failing at social interaction.)

The lights are Newstead Lights in Lee, south London, and we filmed there two consecutive years.
Have a sweetie - you're the first person to spot the Miss Haversham connection!
Someone even suggested it was just an excuse for me to put on a dress. As if I need an excuse. But yes, the cobwebs are replaced by plastic and I am indeed meant to be Miss Haversham.

Is there a beauty contest in the town of Haversham, do you think? What do they call the winner?

Heh, suitably weird John, and obviously a lot of effort has gone into it.

Not completely frivolously I'm wondering why you don't have your own late night channel four show now. And seeing as Weird Al Yankovic dominates the related links, I'm hoping that you're all over his as well ;)

Many thanks! It'd sound like petulance if I were to stamp my feet and say "why don't *I* have a Channel 4 show?!" The answer may be along the lines of "because you're bone idle."

I've been getting into Weird Al lately, actually...

Have you encountered Harvey the Wonder Hampster yet?

Great video - loved the way the mix-ups became more prevalent as it went along, and have had some fun explaining to someone at work that I know someone who has taken three years to make a music video...

Thanks!

The next video will be one shot, no editing...

That's the plan, anyway. Look out for it in 2019.

Love it!
Apparently a house just up the road from me was what/where Dickens based Miss Haversham's house on.
Athough this could be one of those 'Dick Turpin hid at this pub' type tales - all country pubs have them, he should be a legendary drinker rather than a highway man.
I also like spotting Chris P appearing as the back of your head!

[john_callaghan]

Actually, I was appearing as the front of Chris Pethers's head.

Thanks for the positive response!
