I think you look great in the video! And just think, if the Facebook campaign does manage to get it to Christmas number one, it'll be shown on Christmas TOTP :-)
Hi there. I drew that teletubbie and I had no idea what colours they were but I had a green pen!
I only found you on LJ just now doing a general search for "proud of the BBC". If you remember Laurie from days of yore we should probably be doing a better job of recognising each other - I used to edit the RD Fan Club zine for a while, under the monicker of Cma, and had a hand in the conventions too. For #Mitchvideo I was the one with the bright jacket and the chocolates.
And the Don't Panic t-shirt? Good grief. Yeah, I remember Cma. I was at the conventions from 95-98, partly as a result of being a friend of Bev & Sean and Disco Dave. If this jogs your memory any, I drove Norman back to Luton Airport after the '96 Con, and also had a story published in BTL. This one, in fact.
I'm afraid none of it's jogging any memories, although I suspect I typed that story up! If not then I at the very least imported it and applied layout in the DTP software. Back in those days we had to leave spaces for pictures and actually paste them in with pritt stick for the master copies that went to the printers because the fan club machine wasn't hefty enough to cope with scanned images...
I stopped working for the fanclub mostly because of health and other demands on my time, although Sean had always seemed to dislike me for some reason I never got to the bottom of. I still used to get the fanzine until it relaunched last year, at which point the new people in charge told me my lifetime membership had expired! Haven't really been impressed by most of Red Dwarf since Rob Grant left anyway.
Having looked at your friends list, there's surprisingly little overlap between us. Small world, though, eh?

And um, one of the Teletubbies is green.

All I can say is I'm just repeating what was said on the day, so evidently I'm not the only one who's never watched it...
