*giggling wtih delight*
Aug. 3rd, 2008 11:14 amI finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society five minutes ago. What a wonderful book! Being me, I zoomed through it to get to the ending (so that I wouldn't read the last page first), and now I'm going to go back and read it more slowly. I've already missed church because I sat down and read this, and I can't bring myself to be sorry at the moment.
Bambu (lots of blessings and good luck be showered upon her for her good taste in books) recommended it to me because I mentioned my liking of stories told through correspondence. I have two WIPs that are part-narrative/part correspondence, but I haven't read a lot of books/fics that are told that way. Thank you, Bambu!
In other news, emphasis mine:
QI has become the first UK's first panel show to have its own pop song and music video.
The pop song, "Peter Cushing Lives in Whitstable", features QI stars Stephen Fry, Alan Davies, Jo Brand, Bill Bailey and Phill Jupitus.
During the third (or 'C') series of QI, Davies recalled seeing a band called The Jellybottys who played a tribute song to the Hammer Horror star Peter Cushing.
After QI was aired, Deek McNeill from The Jellybottys got into contact with QI and gave permission for his song to be adapted.
You can see the video here, presented by its producer Justin Gayner:

Although it is not available as a single, the song will feature on the upcoming QI C Series DVD, available for pre-order from Amazon:

Okay, I don't like Amazon, but when it's Amazon UK or when I'm getting my tea (all right, Shiv, it's tisane), I will use them. *jumps about the flat happily*
Edit: I've pre-ordered it! Amazon UK will ship it out September 1st-ish. If they're as efficient as last time, I'll get mine before some of my British friends do, which doesn't make sense at all.
