Narnia Fever - Catch It! Part 6

Hey there folks - my Narnia Fever continues unabated. 

Coming out of London is the show Newsnight Review in which every Friday Night the various Great and the Good of the 'U.K. Culture World' come together to review that weeks' media.  This is a nice idea - hey they even have poets on!  But the thing is the show is only 30 minutes long and they review 4 or 5 different events so the amount of time spent on any item is so short the show is basically either a love fest or cheesy shouting match. 

Nothing is learned.

It's more the idea that there is something out there called culture that is communicated rather than any real 'valuable' thing being created. 

Anyhew, last week I saw that they were reviewing The Chronicles of Narnia:  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  So for those of you who missed the show, (hosted by Kirsty Wark with guests Paul Morley, Ian Rankin, Sarah Churchwell and Deborah Bull), I snapped a few pics with my digital camera.  They are presented below for your edification and delight, (I like the one with the Giant Beaver looking over their shoulder).

p.s.:  while looking up info on Kirsty Wark I found this site.  This guy deserves his own post, or something...

Sweet photo! I wonder if our beaver got a gig without telling us!?

yet another eerie Letter to America / Playaz connection...
(that Beaver looks tough - sure he could take on the Zanti Misfits anytime..)

Oh, yes. The beaver is not to be trifled with. No one wants a 40-50 lb. varmint attacking them with teeth that can cut through wood and a tail that will leave a whelp for months.

"while looking up info on Kirsty Wark..."

Villagate! That was the main news here a while back... not very interesting.

OT: We get our own special nightly Newsnight version here too.

^ Umm... I missed out the text "For some reason" at the start of that last sentence, or it reads like I gleefully watch the thing! No sir - South Park is on at the same time.
