Received the following email from HMV this morning:

Hi Thomas,
You asked us to let you know when Twin Peaks: Season 2: 6dvd: Box Set : Tv Series: Kyle Maclachlan: Piper Laurie was ready to pre-order.

Good news!

Twin Peaks: Season 2: 6dvd: Box Set : Tv Series: Kyle Maclachlan: Piper Laurie has just been added to our catalogue, so you can be the first to get your order in now.

Release date: 22/3/2010, catalogue number: 8261037, label: Playback, price £37.99 (RRP £49.99).

Obviously the twisted nature of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks puts this firmly in the BadParent category for the purposes of this blog but, come on… it’s been 19 years. Bring. It. On.

Pre-order Twin Peaks Season 2, Region 2, 6xDVD boxset on HMV, right now.

If my daughter was 3-years-old we’d be watching Tall Stories’ stage adaptation of The Gruffalo as it makes it’s big hairy way across the world in the coming months. You can watch a musical snippet here, but don’t let that put you off.

As it stands, however, we’re stuck with the BBC’s upcoming TV attempt, apparently airing at some point this Christmas. The Gruffalo is played by Robbie Coltrane who (possibly incidentally but probably not) is also the big giant man, Hagrid, in Harry Potter.

The rest of the cast is made up of Gavin And Stacy stars, it would seem.

Or we could just read the book again. And again.
