Quick bit of digging and I've found the following; [Heat Magazine, 19-25 May 2001] "The producers of Buffy, Fox TV, have offered ridiculous soundbites to justify switching TV networks in the US. The WB, home to Buffy since it's inception, did not match the "passion" and "vision" demonstrated by rival network UPN, which has secured the show for two years. The fact that UPN bid a total of $22 million more than WB wasn't mentioned by Fox. "UPN sontinued to show it's "vision" and "passion" with the $50,000 gift baskets it sent eight Buffy cast regulars to welcome them to their new network - which included Cristal champagne and a Cartier watch, Sarah Michelle Gellar - who once said she'd quit Buffy if it left WB, then retracted the comments - was given a Gucci necklace." Heat may not always be the most reliable rag, but it's ususally fairly accurate on this stuff. Neil. -- Neil C.

"'Buffy' will be back next season starring Sarah Michelle Gellar ... Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on UPN," Whedon wrote. "How will we bring her back? With great difficulty, of course. And pain and confusion. Will it be cheezy [sic]? I don't think so." Thursday, he further laid to rest the hoax rumor, and revealed some plans for next season, in an interview with TV Guide Online.

I'm glad you said that cos when I was in the audience I couldn't match up what I saw with what the program was (although I only got as far as character 3 so assumed there was some kind of preamble). Mind you, I only do 15-20wpm aural, barely 1wpm visual.

Last Night
So, was that fun or what? Thanks to everyone who turned up and a special thanks for everyone who made it possible - Damian (obviously), Merijn Broeren, Mike Davis, Paul Mison and Andy Williams (for paying for the hall) and the unnameable organisation who brought Damian to London in the first place. Our next meeting is on Thursday. I know you might be suffering from too much Perl Mongers, but please bear in mind that we need to spend at least £250 in this pub the Dave Cantrell has booked for us, so every little helps :) Oh, and I've had a quick look at Bleach.pm and Morse.pm and wish to raise a bug against Morse.pm. It doesn't actually convert stuff to Morse Code, just to something that _looks_ like Morse Code. See you Thursday, Dave... p.s. And don't get me started on my nightmare journey. I thought that all night buses went thru Trafalgar Sq - the N19 doesn't :(

I think it's a case of knowing what to expect. If you expect quick, very cheap food, that tastes OK then you are fine. If you want a romantic dinner for 2, forget it and go to any of the other places 2 minutes walk away. I've been there loads of times and a lot of the enjoyment comes from watching the faces of the uninitiated as they realise they have definitely come to the wrong place.

See the points people have with noise and smoke though. The TVRs were 34 quid each but had about 8 shots of vodka and 8 shots of tequila in and 6 cans of redbull.
