The Geek Syndicate boys are celebrating as their excellent comics and SF show hits the one hundredth episode mark. As Barry commented, its a bit of a surprise to hit that landmark as they never really thought it would get past the fifth show back when they started it all. Hearty congratulations to the GS gang and best wishes for the next hundred shows.

Also on the GS front, Dave was at the Comic Museum where he managed to record (with the permission of the Comics Museum) one of the real giants of British comics, Pat Mills (who must have influenced the comics reading of untold thousands of us through Action and 2000 AD), talking to him about the classic series Charley’s War (without a doubt one of the very best war comics ever, no argument) and his collaboration with artist Joe Colquhoun in bringing the Great War to life. And they guys are not sitting on their laurels – coming up we have an interview with Julian Jones, writer/creator on the BBC’s new Merlin series, some panels recorded at the recent Thought Bubble event and a preview of the upcoming new series Demons (plus recordings of some of the cast talking to the press at the preview event). As they say, don’t touch that dial!
