What, no Nobby? No Colon? No Sgt Detritus? No Cpl Washpot? Aw. :-(

It's good to see this happening at last, but I'm sad that such iconic characters won't be there. (Not to even mention minor characters as Buggy Swires as "The Eye in the Sky", or constables Downspout and Pediment as the stake-out guys). ;)

Hmm, I presume this is set around the period of MAA - am I right?

Does it say these characters won't be in it? It's not a very in-depth paragraph, they won't have named everyone.

I agree it's not very in-depth, but I think you'll agree that Colon and Nobby are iconic. Can you imagine the A-M Watch without them? :)

So I think they should at least get a mention ... :)

You're right, Tony. What does the Watch have to do with punk rock? Except - very peripherally - during Soul Music? :-|

Perhaps whoever wrote the press release for Narrativia saw Death's skull and, not knowing any better, assumed "Punk rock..." :-(

Do they mean steam punk? Or is the theme music punk? It could start with 'Anarchy in the UK', and end with 'I fought the law'.
