| John
Lydon's Megabugs - Leeches
today, Sunday 5th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
"Obnoxious,
repulsive and fascinating…" no, not John! Mr Rotten travels
to Louisiana in search of leaches, the worlds biggest bloodsuckers
- apart from the lawyers… He improves his frog handling skills,
gets a war wound and watches as a hospital patient gets his nose
sucked. 300 hundred teeth, 3 jaws, but perfectly harmless. |

|  We've
just added some new desktop pattern's to the Multi-Media

sharp eyed amongst you will also have noticed we recently added

& 'Open Up' to the Multi-Media

Lydon's Megabugs - Bees
Today, Sunday 28th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
Probably
one of the most important and misunderstood creatures on the planet
- along with Mr Rotten - there's more to Bees than honey, but that
doesn't mean there is anything to be scared of, is there?
It's not quite the "bird's and the bees" but this week's
quest see's John artificially inseminate a Queen Bee (without the
exploding genitals), and then go in search of Killer Bees, all in
the name of serving the community… |

Lydon's Megabugs - Scorpions
Today, Sunday 21st at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
They
don't come much more deadly than the scorpion, but do they deserve
their rotten reputation? John goes back to school, only to find
it's a scorpion housing estate by night. With the aid of a trusty
scouser he goes about rehousing them back to the desert. It isn't
the stars you need to watch in the desert, it's your feet. Not a
subject to make light of, unless you've got the glo-sticks… |

Lydon's Megabugs - Mosquitoes
Tomorrow, Sunday 14th at 17.00
(repeated Thursday at 20.30)
They
weren't exactly his favourite insect, but this week sees John investigate
Mosquitoes, believe it or not, the most dangerous
animal on the planet. Watch
and listen as he gets locked in tanks filled with many thousand
of the creatures to get "blotched, bitten and buggered"
all in the name of Discovery… Will it all end in Chemical
Warfare? |
| |
A transcript of John's
interview in this week's Radio
Times is now available in the interviews
section. Quote of the Week? "The internet to
me is a very destructive thing. It's not the information highway.
It's the disinformation highway…"
|
| |
| John's
shows have gone down a storm, yet again he's proven he's more than
capable of handling a new situation, his way. I've never known him
to get such good reviews! The world has gone mad, or maybe, they've
just gone sane… It looks like it's the dawn of a new Rotten
era, the army of one is getting bigger… |

John

the front cover (scardey cats), but he is the lead main interview…

Due to overwhelming
demand we have enquired if Five have any plans to show Shark
Attack & Goes
Ape outside the UK. Unfortunately
at the moment no decision has been reached. However, we will keep
you informed… On a brighter note there have been tentative
discussions over a possible DVD release of both shows. We must
stress though that it is still very early, and nothing has been
decided…
John
Lydon's Megabugs will be shown outside the
UK in the near future. Discovery regions in Canada, Africa, France,
Italy and the Middle East have picked up the show, with hopefully
more to follow. Again, stay tuned…
|
| |
Shark
Attack has been picking up favourable reviews all
over the place, and there is also this interesting interview
with the show's producer Debbie Young in The
Times Online…
