Behind the Sofa: The Results Show

As many of you already know, the blog recently lost Sean Alexander and Dave Sanders. We've had private detectives on the case but both Bill Filer and Duggan have turned out to be bloody useless. It's possible that both Sean and Dave may return in the near future, but in the meantime we would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their entertaining reviews over the last couple of years.

But we have to move on and so we decided to run a competition to find some new, and hopefully exciting, blood.

We expected half a dozen entires. Tops.

We got over 45.

We were knocked out by the quality and hard work that went into many of the reviews and we'd like to thank everyone who took the time to take part. We were overwhelmed.

We couldn't decide between the top 5 and Damon was just about to call the 02 Stadium - we were going to book it in order to hold the finals - but in the end we decided to recruit 5 new reviewers instead. Yes! Five!

And the winners are (in no particular order):

Frank Collins

Paul Kirkley

Thomas Dickinson

Iain M Hepburn

Joanne Thrax

Each new reviewer will be posting their Planet of the Ood reviews in the next few hours - and an author profile will follow shortly thereafter.

I hope you will join with us in welcoming them to the team!

Yours

 

Neil, Damon and John
