to sell. We are just a fan site. Register for the forum and you will
receive our Newsletter which is approximately monthly, a sample one
is shown below where you get links to hot topics and Dave news. Not
an advertisement in sight. If you would prefer not to receive the newsletter,
just let us know. A newsletter is a proven way of getting people to
revisit your site, in case they forget about it. Most forums send a
newsletter out, we're just being honest. Hi and welcome to the latest newsletter - BIG news this time! Dead Man Weds If you didn't know by now, Dave has finished writing and started filming (and acting in) his new primetime comedy drama (not sitcom). Johnny Vegas is co-starring, alongside one of the blokes from Duty Free! Anyway... A comic series set in the newspaper office of a picturesque but surreal Northern village. With headlines like 'Drunk Man Falls Over" and "Some Trains May Be Late", the Fogburrow Advertiser and News is never going to win major journalistic awards. But the new editor, GORDON GARDEN, is determined to shake up the small rural newspaper office. Acting editor and all-round lazy slob LEWIS DONAT is furious at Gordon's appointment, convinced that the job should be his. Lewis's school of journalism involves going on a break as soon as he gets in, stealing stories from old piles of newspaper and getting the rest of the news from Joan at the cake shop. He does his best to make Gordon's new job as difficult as possible, including spreading rumours of Gordon's previous nervous breakdown and drink problems all through the village. Gordon is not to be dissuaded however, and he's soon given the rest of the FAN team - technophobe GERRY, foul-mouthed CAROL and wannabe thesp DUANE - a new lease of life. Gordon soon discovers that things in Fogburrow aren't as sleepy as they seem. The water in the canal turns mysteriously blue and there are strange noises on the moor at night. Gordon becomes convinced that the nearby American conglomerate, Geneco, is responsible for the strange happenings. Lewis thinks he's being paranoid - Geneco employ half the village and are very supportive. This is confirmed when Gordon publically confronts Geneco's eccentric American CEO, Chuck, and the village turns against Gordon. Lewis meanwhile stirs up as much trouble as he can for his new editor. This backfires when Gordon demotes him to covering the local vegetable show. A chance meeting with a giant potato leads Lewis towards his first real investigation, and it's not long before Lewis realises Gordon was right - Geneco are doing some very sinister experiments. Gordon and Lewis start working together on a story which will expose Geneco's real intentions. But their personal feelings start getting in the way as they compete for the attentions of local tour manager DONNA HAVERCROFT, Lewis's old flame from school. Convinced Gordon is about to seduce Donna, Lewis betrays Gordon in a jealous rage, revealing their plans to expose Geneco. Gordon's in trouble with management, the investigation is over - Lewis at last has the coveted editor's job. A depressed Gordon drowns his sorrows in drink. But when Lewis gets a death threat late at night, he realises he can't go it alone. Can he drag Gordon out of the pub and back onto the investigative trail? Or will Geneco continue their behind-the-scenes experiments - with devastating consequences for Fogburrow?
