# :O(
Nicely done but very true.

Edit: Any Bleak Expectations fans about? Just heard some exciting news that I want to share with people but no-one I know, other than the beardedwife, would give a crap.

It's going to be made into a TV programme isn't it :(

# Yes... with the bloody awful title "The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff"
"There should be a one-hour special this Christmas and then three half-hours in the New Year, all on BBC2."

BUT!

"Rumours abound of a fifth radio series in the Spring... Keep your ears peeled!"

*GLEE!*

Edit: However, I'm perfectly willing to give the TV show a fair crack of the whip, considering it was originally supposed to be a TV show.

# Ah yes, the Johann Hari School of Journalism:
From The Grauniad:

"In the radio version Richard Johnson plays Philip "Pip" Bin, inventor of the bin, and his two sisters, Poppy and Pippa, whose idyllic life is disrupted by the death of their father and the madness of their mother."

From Wikipedia:

"The plot of the first series revolves around Philip "Pip" Bin, inventor of the Bin, and his two sisters, Poppy and Pippa, whose seemingly ideal life is disrupted by the death of their father and the madness of their mother."

# Me! Me! Me!
I hope it's a new radio series.

I went to see the pilot being recorded. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen - even funnier than hearing the series on radio.
