Gavin & Stacey Book

Ruth Jones came on the show to talk about working on the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special, whether there will be another series (they’re not sure yet) and what it was like working on the latest costume drama “Tess of the D’Urbevilles”. The Gavin & Stacey book is out for Christmas featuring:

• 

  Gavin and Stacey’s family trees

• Character profiles
• Maps of Barry and Billericay with key sights and landmarks
• Pam’s favourite vegetarian recipes (incl. cheese omelette)
• Nessa’s secret diary (Includes how she really met John Prescott) and a Welsh Dragon knitting pattern.
• Gavin and Stacey’s emails – before they met
• Smithy’s top night outs in Billericay
• Script extracts and jokes
• Quizzes and crosswords and much more…

It was written by Ruth Jones and James Cordon – the shows creators. £17.99 from Blackwell, £15.29 from Foyles.

Benidorm Series 2 DVD (Steve Pemberton, Johnny Vegas & Hannah Hobley)

Johnny Vegas went on Paul O’ Grady to promote the new DVD of “Benidorm”, talking about how he had met some characters just like Geoff Maltby. When asked by Paul whether he had calmed down at all, Johnny responded that he was about to say “yes” until he thought about his last time in Benidorm, running down the street with a homeless lady’s trolley at 3am in the morning. They also talked about the character “Geoff” who gets to go on a date with a teenage mother while his Mum/PA babysits “Coolio” – his date’s son.

Released 17/11/2008: Pre-order from Play.com £17.99 with free delivery.

Known as ‘The Oracle’ because of his computer-like knowledge of trivial facts and figures, Geoff Maltby is on holiday with his mother, or PA as he calls her, but keen to hide the fact.

Paul O’Grady often features the latest and greatest products, but we’d love to get hold of a Nodding Buster for ourselves! It would make a great Christmas present for someone you know is a big fan of the show – a really unique gift too.

Ceran of the Cairngorm Reindeer Herd

1. Adopt a Reindeer £30 (click here)

The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd were introduced into Scotland in 1952 by a Swedish Reindeer Herder, Mikel Utsi. Starting from a few reindeer, the herd has grown in numbers over the years and is currently held at between 130 and 150 by controlling breeding. The reindeer live in their natural environment out on the Cairngorm Mountains and the Cromdale Hills of Scotland. According to the Orkneyinga saga, red deer and reindeer were hunted together in Caithness by the Earls of Orkney about eight centuries ago. Now you can support their re-introduction by adopting a reindeer from the herd. Click here for more information.

Many of you may have heard of the man who caught some thieves in his house whilst on holiday in Spain. He called the police from his holiday villa and the burglars were duly charged thanks to the man’s CCTV footage which he had been watching over the internet. The Spykee is movement activated as well so you could set it to respond to intruders (maybe your little sister?) This robot would enable you to not only film burglars, but to talk to them too. Is anyone else remembering the film Home Alone with Macualy Culkin?

Here’s what the retailers have to say:

Spykee is the first robot to be built that you can transform and control from a computer through a WiFi connection Moreover, you can control him from anywhere in the world via the Internet! Spykee comes with a video camera, a microphone, a loudspeaker and two motors.

Spykee is a Spy Robot!

He can move, watch, hear, take pictures, record video and sound. He is equipped with light and sound effects, video and voice filters…

Spykee is a telephone!

He can be used as a VOIP phone & webcam and is compatible with Skypeâ 3.0 (PC) technology…

Spykee is a Digital Music Player!

Listen to your own music…

Spykee is a video surveillance device!

When a movement is detected, Spykee activates an alarm or sends you a picture by e-mail…

When the battery charge gets low, Spykee returns back to his recharging station automatically!

The Spykee may be a bit expensive for some – but not to worry, the Meccano Spykee Microrobot is only much cheaper. He’s not quite as advanced as the WiFi version, but you get a remote controlled robot with movement, lights and sound effects.

The Meccano Spykee is available from the following retailers:

Play.com Meccano Spkee Wifi Robot £189.99
Play.com Meccano Spykee Micro Robot £17.99

Gizoo Meccano Spykee Wifi Robot £199.95

There’s a whole host of features, as you can see, packed into this likeable little robot – all of which can be set up by a remote control simple enough for most kids to operate. A present, then, with staying power, which will be played with long after the decorations come down, and we’re all working out to shift those extra pounds we gained during the festivities!
