The music was thud like.
Love is like a butterfly only if you're on drugs
Or if you get your kicks from watching bugs
As soft and gentle as a sigh, heed the death threat notes
To hang you upside down and slit your throat
Love makes your heart feel strange inside, enough to light the fuse
And if you're lucky you'll be splattered all over the news
If you're lucky you'll be splattered
If you're lucky you'll be splattered
If you're lucky you'll be splattered all over the news
Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in!
In! Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in!
For that great british taste, slam it in.
Clock Geoffrey Palmer's face and slam it in
For that great british taste, slam it in.
Clock Geoffrey Palmer's face and slam it in
Grind his smug face into the floor.
And crack his head like Greg Louganis on the oven door
For that great british taste, slam it in.
Clock Geoffrey Palmer's face and slam it in
What's meat got? It's got the lot, it's a time-bomb waiting to go off
A bacofoil assassination plot
The carving knife of Damocles, check suspicious post
Or your head will end up as Sunday roast
Watch your waist and watch your back, check under your bonnet too
'Cos you only get an ooh with tofu
You only get an ooh
You only get an ooh
You only get an ooh with tofu
Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in!
In! Slam it in! Slam it in! Slam it in!

*Crap anecdote about celebrity encounter klaxon*
I used to live near him in Buckinghamshire. On one occasion I was on the same train home as him, which was diverted to another station because of signalling problems. My flatmate picked me up and I tentatively went over to Geoffrey, who was standing around looking at his watch, and offered him a lift. "That's terribly kind of you," he said in his elegant patrician voice. "But my wife is already on her way."
That's about it.

Just hope they can get someone with the appropriate gravitas to do the reading....James Earl Jones perhaps....

He was my north, my south, my east, my west,
My train companion, my invited guest,
His voice was elegant, his face was long,
I thought he would accept that lift: I was wrong.

Superb, think I'll be putting that on the xmas list.
'I'm not a people person' was one of the standouts for me. Along with 'great' 'super'.

I didn't get where I am today without correcting misquotes... 
One, two, three, four – make them sweat outside the door; five, six, seven, eight – always pays to make them wait; nine, ten, Come!
I had the misfortune to have a client for two or three years in the late 90's called Joan. Oh how I wanted to enquire if she was feeling chesty... ™Doc Morrissey
Such a shame that Nobbs was tempted by the cheques to do 'The Legacy of' and the Clunes re-make, but the three classic series will live with me forever.

Not seen either of these, are they not even worth a quick peak? Not a fan of Clunes anyway.

IMHO, I wouldn't, no. 'The Legacy of' was dreadful – the book was slightly better than the TV series, but both provided further proof about quitting whilst you're ahead, etc.
The remake series just made me realise that the original was miles better in every way and every detail. I was very surprised that DN was involved at all, but I suppose he wanted to try and limit the damage to his simply brilliant creation.
