    Thanks for asking - we're not giving up! We've been dealing with some challenging health issues that have consumed our summer, but we've got a new program almost ready for release and hope to resume taping more shows soon. Sorry for the absence, we're pedaling as fast as we can!

    Seems an age since last broadcast. Have you given up just as you were getting the hang of TV?

    Sorry to hear that you have had health problems, life can be a pain. Shall be here when you return. Why not pop up a note to let folk know what is up, the silence is a bit spooky?
