From Mr Hell

This is it, kids.
If you like Mr Hell, please be aware that it's back on Sunday, 11pm BBC2. Also be aware that the remaining six episodes may be the last you ever see, due to the Beeb's apparent decision to bury the series. The critics liked it and it pulled in on average a million viewers an episode, but for some reason Auntie decided they didn't quite get it. So probably no second season. Ah well. Just goes to prove our point...

This will be the same company that decided to kick out The League Against Tedium after he made a golden rose-winning program despite the BBC laughing when he asked for a budget? Fuck 'em.

Are they at least going to show all the episodes on the MR Hell website or drop it early? I intend to write a big letter praising it when the series is done. See if we can get them to change their minds.

Wankers.

ARGH!! But I loved that programme!

And now a techy question from a friend of mine: What do you do your computer geneated animation on?

No suprises. An audience of a million a pop ain't bad at all though is it Biz?

Loz: They're showing all the episodes. Even the crap ones.

Pin: It was done on... Jeez I dunno. It was made using a technique called Hellmation, 3D animation with 2D backgrounds and characters. I don't know the actual computer involved.

What about Sky telly? They'd gladly fuck the waterlogged corpse of Robert Maxwell for those audience figures...

Mr Hell again, BBC2, 11:20. I'm really pleased that after it they're showing Mad Dog and Glory, a moderately good Bill Murray /Robert DeNiro flick. I love Bill Murray.
Loz, I doubt Mr Hell would get even a 1000th of it's current audience figures if it was on Sky, unless it was called 'Naked Ibiza Clubber Strippers Uncut'.

Well, just take the blurring off of Mr. Hell's cock...

What, you mean that's not what they actually look like?

So, did anyone watch it?

Yes. I did. Thought Josh was particularly good this week. Although Mr Hell himself has started to really irritate me... but maybe that's the point.

I still can´t get over the fact you got Bob Monkhouse as the voice of Mister Hell. Just watching him on Wipe-out on monday after watching the show the previous night is one of those out of wack kind of experiences that make you check if reality is playing a joke on you...I keep waiting for one of the contestants disappearing in a pit of fire after a wrong answer.......

I have to apologise for all the puns at the end of every Serge episode. They're there because:
A)I have a general hatred of the supposedly witty quips in action movies.
B)I like really bad puns.

I hate to say this but Serge is probably my least favourite part of the show.

08:46 / 22.01.02
How dare you be honest! Get out!
Hey, no problem Loz. Although if Haus had said it a stream of abuse would shoot across this thread... Ah, double standards.
So what did you like?

I didn't like that Serge episode, even though I only stayed up to watch it (I'm a young-un. It's pathetic) to watch it so I could go "Heh! I have Serge's writter's number".

However, I liked Tommy The Tank, but Tommy Tomorrow In The 21st Century didn't live up to it's name. But "Can you tell what it is yet?" ruled.

More news: For some reason, the BBC has decided not to show the last two episodes, so the series ends next week. I'm going to go and take it out on my gimp now...

WHAT?! THE FUCK?! ARE THEY DOING?!

Funny how Tommy Tomorrow in the 21st century hits close to home......

So, the 'last' episode is on at midnight tonight, BBC 2. I doubt it will ever be rerun or released on video, so this is it for now.
Thanks for playing.

they said at the end of todays show that mr hell will return in two weeks time!

They lie! They hired a cheap spanish company to knock together a bunch of bootleg episodes with construction paper and Les Dennis doing Bob Monkhouse. 'Sergio the Seal' my arse!

The highlight of last night's Mr Hell was definitely the bit where the guy's falling off a cliff, and a coyote falls past him holding a sign that reads "Hi, My Name's Josh"...

I should point out that if Mr Hell, after all this time, still holds a special place in your heart, all episodes are available as one stomach-clenching Bittorent at Suprnova, the torrent might even be http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2578/Aaagh Its The Mr Hell Show.torrent
