Wiffle Lever To Full

here's a word from Bob...

I done a book! It's called 'Wiffle Lever To Full!' and it's out on 24th July. It's basically a travelogue of sci-fi and cult TV conventions, celebrating the strange but wonderful world of those people who like to dress up as Doctor Who in funny provincial hotels and point sonic screwdrivers at their friends. And there's a lot of stuff in there about growing up in front of the telly in the 1970s and 80s, which I'm hoping will strike a few chords with (ahem) the more mature of you. It has stuff about Doctor Who, Star Wars, Blake's 7, James Bond, The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Star Trek, The Prisoner, Robin Of Sherwood, Discworld, Monty Python and Red Dwarf, and this is what it looks like...

Anyroad... it's now available to pre-order at a couple of places here... Wiffle Lever To Full! On Amazon UK Wiffle Lever To Full! On Play.Com
I've also set up an 'official' blog to put lots of ramblings and pictures and films and things on, and that's at... www.wifflelevertofull.com
And there's a Myspace page (www.myspace.com/wifflelevertofull) and a Facebook group (I'm sure you can guess what it's called). Oh, and me and my friend James Harris from Shameless Films made the following utterly stupid little films, so feel free to have a shuftie over to Youtube! Like The Godfather and the proper Star Wars films, it's a nifty little trilogy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHLWRMfcrMY
