CHECK IT OUT!

Try it now, you dirty little hoydens. After months equaling years of kind support, it appears Badgerz and his fancy university account has gone away. A big thanks to Badgerz for the file serving help - you were there right when we needed ya. And apologies to anyone who hasn't been able to download the files recently. It should work now. I've taken steps.

I've improved the protoncharging.com account, so it's better suited to big ass traffic loads, and as a bonus, all the files have had their ID3 tags updated (for those of you with iPods and such.) No need to thank me. I did it for myself really, but I figured, why not share?

Small point of interest - The 99p Challenge came in second at the Sony Radio Awards 2005. Hoorah!

Well, the fifth series currently remain the last series - as of yet there is no word on another go-round. In fact, Andy Riley himself has said as much, but that interest remains high. I don't know how it works in the UK, but perhaps kindly worded letters of support, set to BBC4.
If you hear anything or find anything cool, like more ads and press materials you'd like to share, please feel free to - I'm still very much interested in them.

Latest thanks to Richard G for sending along a scan of a show ticket AND sharing his memories of attending (the lucky bastard.) Big thanks to Mr. Supercool for the ad on the right and providing three whole seasons! And another big thanks to James C. for providing the entire King Stupid series.
