Subject: Re: Matthew Smith on Thumb Candy!

 

"I saw Thumb Candy on Channel 4 on Saturday, and
it was amazing!"

It was a very
well-researched and interesting programme. Shame that it was a
one-off. I'd like to see a ten part series
made.

"The interview was set in what appeared to be Matthew
Smith's bedroom, playing Manic Miner on a Spectrum 48K,
and there was a full frontal view of the house. I
wonder how many obsessed fans will be crawling the
streets of Wallasey, looking for that house?
;-)"

According to someone on c.s.s., it wasn't his real bedroom.
I wonder if he still lives in
Wallasey?

"/"Everything goes around and comes around. Five years after I
did it, I was a wash-out. Ten years after I did it, I
was history. But it's coming up to twenty years now,
and I'm a legend!"/"

That is so true! What a
great quote that is! :-)
