I’m posting this as a reminder more than anything else.
BBC Four will be screening a season of programmes on British comics starting on September 10th. This will include Johnathan Ross’ nearly already legendary Search for Steve Ditko, and a three part retrospective with, oh just about everyone. Alan Moore to Leo Baxendale. To say I’m planted in front of the whole lot (even the 60s Batman screenings!) would be to seriously underplay my excitement.
Can’t wait. Cantwaitcantwaitcantwait.
Kenneth Foster, the Texan sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit, is due to be executed tomorrow. It would appear that Texas Governor Rick Parry is more than happy to allow Kenneth to go to his death on the advisement of a law that was never supposed to be applied in capital cases, in a trial that was deeply flawed.
Here’s my initial post on the subject, and please check the comments too.
Please, visit that site, read the story, and if you feel that there’s anything you can do to protest this utter travesty of justice, do so.
A beautiful song by Jamie Liddell, given a sweet treatment by my mate Nick Scott. Keep an eye open for a familiar name in the credits 😉
