AYe - although I think Capalidi is from Largs! - his family run a famous ice-cream shop there!

tick tock tick tock ... leaving 5/15 for Frankfurt, collecting the car 5/18 ... time seems to be going slower ... will definitely post a thread once I get there and take delivery ...

now I am working on convincing SDaddy to order a Mexico Blue GTS coupe!

pity that every rapper, comedian, or actor, white or black, male or female, whose ranting, misogynistic, racially charged rhetoric doesn't suffer the same fate. Equality indeed!

With any luck the three of them will make a show for Netflix or amazon. Then the real fun will begin.

Most likely that a UK network will pick them up, like Channel 4 or BSkyB, They could perhaps expand the role of the production co that JC and the director setup and with the right backing they could produce it themselves...

I think there is a certain "British" quality beyond that of the presenters that makes it unique; production values etc, that might be lost under the auspices
of a U.S producer...

I wonder if Jay Leno might have an interest?
