More cast announcement https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-reboot-pilot-cast-sarah-bock-1236469066/

Sarah Michelle Geller has spoken about the new series, looks like it will be a balance of old and new characters set in "New" Sunnydale so perhaps it's been rebuilt in the last 20 years. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/sarah-michelle-gellar-buffy-reboot-update

Here's the moment when Nigel, Julie and Claire originally left

i'd forgotten Claire used to be a bully, you do tend to forget storylines from years ago. Big classics you remember.

Yes i remember That's Entertainment, used to visit my nearest branch in Merry Hill, Brierley Hill a lot. Did also fill some collections. Speaking of old NOWS i bought a lot i needed on CD from HMV when they had a big sale and reduced a load to £4,99

Tony Christie and Peter Kay suggests March April 2005 Must be it was a comic relief single. And the Shaky and T'Pau albums came out of Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Yeah i miss Woolworths and you can always tell the year when someone posts a picture of a record shop display by the cds featured in it and i see Cher's Believe at No.1 which puts the photo in October 1998.

Former Big Brother housemate Glyn Wise from 2006 (the year Buzzjack was born) has revealed he is now an ordained minister for the church of Wales. I guess he is now "cooking a sermon for the very first time" https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a65251778/big-brother-glyn-new-career/

Reminds me of JK and Joel on the chart show in 2005 when they skipped Ian McNabb then remarked "actually that's not too bad"

Not a bad tracklist, i remember the ABC single i bought it. I am surprised Paul Young's final Top 40 hit - I Wish You Love wasn't on there though.
