In episode three we meet that royalty of the comedy and music worlds, lovely David Quantick and ask him about Doctor Who, Morrissey and making the world's first internet sitcom. We hang out at Playful 2009 and talk to James Bridle about his noughts and crosses calculating matchboxes. We chat to internet personality Robert Brook, a nice man in a suit who worked on the Hansard archives and therefore works for you, and hear his opinions on swearing. And we eat South African chocolate while SRS regular Dave Green tells us what it was like on the set of Micro Men, a recent BBC dramatisation of the Acorn/Sinclair wars. It's all free, of course, and it might make you smile.
Same time next week for the episode 4 trailer?

Here are some outtakes and offcuts to serve as a taster of some of what's coming up in the next couple of episodes.
Since one episode every two weeks isn't very much, and the 'episode 0' taster/trailer was so much fun, we're thinking of putting out short teasers (of around 5 minutes) on alternating weeks. If you've watched The Wire you'll be familiar with the idea of testers which let you sample the quality and get you hooked. Think of it a bit like that.
Next Thursday, episode 3 will include an interview with David Quantick, conversation with Robert Brook, James Bridle explaining his amazing creation, South African snacks with Dave Green and more.
For now, here's a taste of what's to come.
