Second Wind - 16/11/02

The Burnside Files and the Frank Burnside Immortals fangroup are celebrating their second anniversary this month. As our treat to you we have updated the site with some Burnside tidbits that have been languishing in our inbox for months.

First up, you'll find a new quote (second from the end) on our Statements page.

This very long article (with some fabby new pics) appeared on the This Is Brighton & Hove website in May 2002 and this review of Burnside appeared somewhere way back in 1999.

While you're about it, visit our extensive collection of press articles on the Articles page.

Stay tuned for news of this year's International Burnside Day celebrations.

Snouting Around - 14/07/02

We've updated our Snouts page with the current addresses of some our favourite TB websites.

On a Cruisy Case - 07/07/02

Recently in The Sun newspaper (UK) Chris Ellison reported on his Royal Caribbean Cruise holiday. The 'sun-tanned dinosaur' shared deck chair space and lotion with his lovely wife Anita and their daughter Francesca. For the full story on their free-loading escapades visit our press articles page here.

Coming Soon: We add some groovy 'new' quotes to our list of fabulous Burnsidisms.

The entry from February 2002 (and possibly one other entry) disappeared in an Anna-shouldn't-update-in-the-middle-of-the-night mixup.

[01/07/01 - 31/12/01]

Read All About It - 29/12/01

So I've finally linked all the articles on the Press page. There's nothing that you haven't seen before, unfortunately, but they're there, y'know just in case anyone actually decides to visit this site or summat. Speaking of visitors - did anyone notice Santa? That's him up there, the big guy, red suit, reindeer, flying past your peepers in his sleigh. No? Note for December 2002: Scratch flying santa. To borrow from our Guv'nor, that idea has been voted down. [13/01/02 - Santa was removed]

And while I've got the interrogation thing happening, did anyone other than me celebrate IBD 2001? Have you got anything to say about it? Anything at all? Speak now or forever hold your peace. This interview is not being taped. No need to disturb your legal representative. No need to remain silent. Out with it NOW sonny-jim! Nothing to say? I thought not. Ho. Ho. Hum.

International Burnside Day 2001 - 16/12/01

Happy International Burnside Day to you all. Burnside fans the world over unite today in celebration of the greatest Guv'nor to ever be, the one, the only Frank Burnside.

Today is also Christopher Ellison's birthday (and why we chose the 16th December to be International Burnside Day) so please join us by raising a glass of the finest single malt you can lay your hands on to wish him a very, very Happy Birthday and a fabulous year ahead. Cheers Chris.

This year we challenge you once again to paint your nick of the woods Burnside. Click here to read all about the challenge and download the flier.

And if you're unsure of what we're expecting of you or just feel like having a laugh, you can read all about last year's festivities here.

What's Cookin' Good Lookin'? - 11/12/01

TV Week is quick off the mark again, informing its readers about The Change two weeks before it is due to finish. Nice one.

In other exciting news, International Burnside Day 2001 is almost upon us. Get your bad tie dry-cleaned, bring that fine single malt up from the cellar and practise delivering your most favourite Burnside quotes because this Sunday the 16th December we'll be daring you to spread good Burnside cheer.

Other stuff:

TBVU's Galleries have unfortunately closed but Mike has generously allowed us to pinch his screen caps. For your viewing pleasure we'll put them up here at The Files sometime over the next week [Christmas shopping timetable permitting *bleurgh*].

I'm on extended 'hols' at the moment so I have no excuse not to finally put up the rest of the unlinked article pages. Will do it, will do it. No champagne for me come New Years if I don't. [Can't let that happen!]

The dark and scary pic of Chris [left] is giving me the heeby-jeebies. It's gotta go! Do you have a fave pic you'd like to see on our home page for a bit? Or perhaps a pic of you (yes, YOU!) posed Burnside-y? Email us with your request if you do.

Over and out.

A Change is in the Air - 15/11/01

Airing tonight in the UK on BBC Radio 4, The Change, is a new comedy serial in which George decides it's time to introduce his wife to his alter-cross-dressing-ego Georgina. Yes, it's true, you're not seeing things. That's Chris in a dress at left.

Chris stars, as George, alongside two well-known actresses Lynda Bellingham (above right, Carol, George's wife) and Sylvia Syms (George's Mum) who recently appeared together in At Home With the Braithwaites. (Thanks go to Martin for the tip-off and the pic, which appeared in the TV Times)

You can listen to The Change on Thursdays at 6.30pm in the UK (5.30am Fridays in Australia via internet) for the next five weeks.

  Happy Birthday! - 14/11/01  

Don a bad tie, crack open your finest single malt (scotch or milkshake), prepare to regale us with tales of your head-down-bog-flushing escapades, and join the party - we at the Burnside Files and the Frank Burnside Immortals are celebrating our 1st Birthday! Hoorah!

As a special treat, I thought I'd show you a pic of Chris you might not have seen before. [below left] Doesn't he look as though he's been out all night partying hard on our behalf? Good onya Chris!

We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to all our FBI Agents and special friends who've provided us with pictures, quotes, stories, videos, songs and more, and who've been incredibly supportive of our efforts over the course of the last year. We are most very grateful.

And, of course, muchos thanks to the divine Mr Christopher Ellison for his exceptional performance as Frank providing us with many hours of terrific television viewing. Gracias.

[Must brush up on my Cockney; Spanish doesn't quite suit Burnside. Although, perhaps the sun-tanned dinosaur is on the Costa del Sol right at this moment playing nine holes. Need a caddy, Frank?]

Double Take - 11/11/01

D'oh! It appears I had already remembered to put those pics [below] up on the Evidence page but had forgotten to upload it. Since I've already gone to the trouble of sounding the fanfare about them here, I'll leave Chris and his lovely family to bask in the glory of a News page appearance. Hope you enjoy.

We Will Remember Them - 11/11/01

While doing a spot of remembering today, I remembered that I've forgotten to show you these two pics from long ago. Avon sent them to me over a year ago and I filed them carefully away (read forgot about that particular email). Anyway, here they are:

Other things worth remembering: The Burnside Files and the FBI are almost 1 year old!

They Want You! - 28/10/01

The other week I had the pleasure of meeting a real police person and, surprisingly, it didn't involve being arrested. I gave a pair of non-plastic, non-furry, hard steel, very mean looking handcuffs the onceover, did my best not to spill my cuppa on the Senior Constable's hat, and was blasted by the blues and twos of her shiny new patrol car. Wheeee! It was so much fun!

What does this have to do with Burnside I hear you ask. Well, nothing actually. I just wanted an excuse to put up a scan of my cute new magnet [that's it at left] and tell you that I think...

[Count yourselves lucky - the video of me dancing around with a NSW Police balloon was deemed to be too silly for viewing by the general public. Bagged up as evidence against me was that little gem. ;)]

Coming Soon:
- some newly found pics of Chris Ellison
- Burnside Files turns 1!
- the missing articles

Winners are Grinners - 14/10/01

Y'know, I've never won anything in my life. (Okay, so by strange coincidence this morning I won a free 100g pack of Smith's crisps/chips but we're not really counting that as a serious prize win.) Oh sure, I've benefitted from other people's lucky wins a-plenty. A trip to Fiji here and a most-expenses-paid holiday to Hamilton Island there but never a (decent) prize winner before have I been.

This week, however, I have broken my unlucky non-winning streak - I was one of the winners of the UKTV Burnside Trivia Quiz. And, to make things even better, I know of another very special person who was also a prize winner in the same comp. We should be so lucky!

I won a copy of the "Burnside Files" video, a UKTV cap and a UKTV keyring. I'm very excited. Y'see, despite this very site being named The Burnside Files and Burnside being one of my favourite TB characters, I've never watched the video before. Seriously deprived, eh? So first thing Monday morning I'll be collecting my prize and come Monday afternoon I'll be plonked on the couch in front of the telly with a cuppa and a packet of original Tim Tams gawping at the great man himself with a huge grin on my face. I may even wear the cap. ;)

The Burnside Years - 28/09/01

Desperate to see more of Burnside? Watch UKTV in Australia this weekend and get your fix. The three night retrospective of some of Frank's best episodes begins 9.30pm this Saturday 29/09 and continues 8.30pm Sunday 30/09 and Monday 01/10.

For your chance to win a copy of The Burnside Files video, check out the competition at www.uktv.com.au.

[Pssst. If you know the answer to Question 1, drop me a line at burnsidefiles@bigpond.com. We might even be able to scrounge up a leftover Burnside magnet for your trouble. If you've emailed us wanting to know the answer, Avon's on the case and as soon as she tells me the answer I'll post it here dash over there and put my winning entry in. ;) Cheers m'dears.]

[I know the answer to Question 1! Thanks Avon!!!]

Yoohoo, We're New - 25/08/01

It's been a while coming but at last we can unveil the new look Burnside Files. Our mission for the redesign was to make it easier to find your way around, find homes for all the bits and pieces we've collected since November last year, and to make it all look a bit snazzier. If you come across anything *wobbly* (technical term for 'not working properly') on your travels around the site, please let us know.

Lock, Stock @ 20/08/01

So we've packed up the Special Edition Burnside Files lock, stock and moved back into our old home while we redesign the site.

Below you'll find links to all the bits and pieces that don't have permanent homes as yet. 

The Burnside competition was a great success. Sierraoscar won the Week 6 comp by correctly answering the question 'How did Burnside destroy the one hundred million pounds hidden in the swimming pool?'. Yep, he set fire to it (and astonishingly, the whole lot went up in flames until nothing more than small pile of ash was left. Really!) and, no, I didn't do the draw. ;) 

Things to come? Apart from the new site design, we've got a few more articles to show you, a couple of new pictures of Chris at work and play, and one or two prospective FBI members buzzing about - all 'coming soon'. On the agenda for the months ahead is this year's International Burnside Day preparations. Stay tuned.

All Over @ 30/07/01

Well Burnside has finished it's run in Australia, Avon has written her last review and I've finally uploaded it. (see above)

About the only positive thing I can say about the series is that I liked the title music and the 'look'. The writing, especially for Frank's larger than life character, was appalling. Burnside's image has been badly tarnished by this latest outing and it's no wonder Chris has said he wants to leave Frank behind and move on to new challenges.

I did enjoy Zoe Eeles' performance (disregarding the capers of her character, Sam) and loved seeing Charles Dale (Billy Holden, gun dealer in Episodes 1 & 2, previously seen in Jimmy McGovern's The Lakes) as a baddy again as he does 'vicious and nasty' so well.

So where does The Burnside Files go from here now that Frank has seemingly made his last (new) appearance in our living rooms? Well, our biggest wish is that Foxtel/UKTV or better yet, the ABC, will screen 1988 to 1993 episodes of The Bill so we can get our fix of the legendary Burnside. *Those* were the good ol' days. We'll continue to bring you news of Chris' activities, our in-tray is overflowing with more articles about Burnside, and we'll soon be making preparations for this year's International Burnside Day. Look out for a site redesign too.

Thanks to everyone who has visited over the last six weeks and special thanks to those who participated in our weekly competitions. Week 6 is running now so get your entries in for your chance to win a little momento of Burnside to remember him by or...'You're Nicked, You Slag!'

Tardy @ 30/07/01

Our lucky Week 5 Competition winner was Agent 7, the delightful Miss Kacey. Congratulations Kace! And just how was Burnside's snout Tony Shotton killed? Unfortunately for Mr Shotton, he was shot with a shotgun.

For one more chance to win a special Burnside magnet see our Week 6 competition question above and get your entries in before 9am this Friday AEST time (midnight Thursday for UKers).

Cop This! @ 19/07/01

The Burnside Files got a mention in the current issue of TV Week! [Excited screaming will commence now!!]

Persistence Pays @ 19/07/01

Sierraoscar has entered our Burnside Competition every week since it began and finally his persistence has paid off. SO answered the question 'What does Superintendent Lee think Burnside should be doing with his time?' correctly with 'playing golf' and so he is the winner of our Week 4 Competition and will shortly receive an exclusive Burnside magnet by special delivery. Yay! (Contrary to popular belief I did NOT peek at whose name I was drawing out and I have witnesses to prove it! *mew mew*, says Oscar the Kitten in agreement.) Fear not kiddies, Avon will return to being in charge of choosing the winners from next week, I promise.

PS. There's quite a few "new" articles on the Special Edition Burnside Press page for you to have a gander at. Go, go, go.

Lucky Friday @ 13/07/01

We are very pleased to announce Karen as the winner of our Burnside Week 3 Competition and she will shortly be in receipt of an exclusive Burnside magnet. The answer to this week's question "What colour was DC Sam Philips' g-string?" was, of course, 'purple'. We'll do our best to ensure that the Week 4 question has no connection to underwear. Only three more chances to win so make sure you come back to visit us soon.

Winner No. 2 05/07/01

The lucky winner of our Burnside Week 2 Competition is Stanton's Man who answered the question "On what page does Burnside rate a mention in Ronnie Buchan's book 'A Cut-throat Business'?" correctly with 'page 109'. Congratulations SM! More chances to win when the Week 3 question arrives right here this Friday night after Burnside.

Hitting the Right Note @ 01/07/01

Sierraoscar has a sample of the Burnside theme music available for you to download from his wonderful site The Billboard. Oh baby, it sounds fantastic!

[01/01/01 - 30/06/01]

We have a Winner @ 28/06/01

Our Burnside Week 1 Competition has closed and we are very excited to announce our first lucky winner as Stephanie! Yay! The correct answer to the question "What do cops say NCS stands for?" was 'No Crimes Solved'. Stay tuned for comp question 2 coming to the Files after Friday night's episode of Burnside.

Can't Wait @ 22/06/01

Burnside begins tonight on the ABC at 8.30pm. Are we excited little FBI Agents? Yes indeedy we are! Champagne (and vodka for web fairies who've just lost entire pages in the upload process) and video tapes are at the ready. Phone is off the hook. 'Do not Disturb' sign is on the front door. *Ahhhhh* Burnside bliss.

Darker, Sexier & Funnier @ 20/06/01

The Guide previews the first episode of Burnside.

The Race is On @ 18/06/01

Stock up on Tim Tams and get your video tapes ready because Burnside arrives in Australia this Friday 22nd June at 8.30 pm on the ABC.

This article appeared in the Guide section of today's Sydney Morning Herald.

18 Carat @ 06/06/01

Here's the promo for Burnside coming soon to ABC TV in Oz. You'll need Windows Media Player or similar to view it. Know what I mean? ;)

And a wee piccie to keep you satisfied just in case things go pear-shaped. (Rest of 'em coming soon to the Evidence page.)

Man on a Mission @ 27/05/01

Okay, so he didn't get the press coverage that the Lone Star boys rated but Chris' recent visit to Australia did manage a mention in a few of our most *ahem* 'distinguished' publications.

Two new articles are now showing on the Evidence page.

Goodies @ 22/05/01

So much new stuff I just don't know where to begin. Perhaps here is a good start. Yes, that's right folks, Laurab, Agent 14, has opened her dossier at The Nick for all to see.

Now to let you in on some very exciting work sent to us by visitors to The Files.

Jason has very cleverly produced a 'song' of famous Burnside quotes. 'Tis really amazing and a must hear for those of you who can never get enough of Frank's dulcet tones. Download here.

Jade has drawn a rather splendid picture of Burnside which she was lucky enough to have signed by Chris when he was in Perth. See the marvellousness here.

And there's even more new stuff to come!

Hot Potato @ 10/05/01

Me in rush to get to work. Will be late (again) if I stop to natter, so...

The rest of the pictures from Chris' appearance on Backberner are now on the Evidence page. Yay!

A big welcome to our newest Agent, Laurab, whose details will shortly be up at The Nick.

Much more to come soon.

Pictorial Splendour @ 05/05/01

And what a lovely surprise it was too!

Chris was ever so nice and allowed me to take lots of pics of him hard at work signing autographs at the second Sydney book signing at Westfield Chatswood. Here is the evidence.

(The images are large-ish and may take a while to load but we promise they're well worth the wait. FYI for the technically challenged: the window scrolls horizontally.)

Click here to see the flier Chris kindly autographed for me.

Remember this? @ 17/04/01

The first International Burnside Day was held on December 16th, 2000 and what a great day it was. Our Agents were tasked with an exciting mission: to spend the day celebrating Burnside in their own special way. Read all about our adventures here.

Lickety-Split, Gotta Be Quick @ 01/05/01

Jennywren was very quick off the mark and sent in vidcaps of Chris' appearance on Backberner (ABC) last night. Here's a little taste of the goodness to keep you satisfied until I can put the whole lot up. Don't he look good in that suit? Please don't get me started on the handcuffs. ;)

Chris Rules! @ 28/04/01

Today's excursion to Chatswood, Sydney to see Chris was totally awesome. Chris was delightful, the company was luffly, and it appears my camera worked.

As to be expected, I blushed a lot and got the shakes (thank goodness someone else took some photos; mine will all be blurry or summat no doubt). Chris signed all the things I asked him to (what a nice guy!) and even remembered me from the other night at the Logies.

Speaking of the Logies, the pictures from the Logies telecast have finally been uploaded to the Evidence page. Many thanks with delicious chocolate on top must go to Jennywren. Go visit her sites and tell her what a superstar she is.

Flying High @ 28/04/01

Here is the flier I promised you two weeks ago. Print it off (comes out okay in B&W) and pass it around.

Off to see Chris at the Chatswood book signing today. Will the camera work? We hope so!

Promise, promise, promise to put the Logies vid caps up on the site this afternoon. *Thwack* me if I don't.

Still Shaking @ 25/04/01

Over the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April I travelled from Sydney to Melbourne on a mission to meet Chris Ellison at the Logies. The outcome?

Mission accomplished, folks!

The operation was not a complete success, however, when you take into consideration the horribly embarrassing incident with my camera.

There I am, at sometime after 1.00am on Monday morning, in the foyer of the Crown Casino, after spending close to 9 hours on my feet waiting for more than a glimpse of the back of his head, when the target and his entourage delicately start to make their way down the grand staircase.

Having decided five minutes beforehand to pack it in and trot off to bed, I go into a complete panic and in the rush to get my camera out of its case, knocked one of the dials causing the camera not to work. Of course, this didn't come to my attention until after Chris and I had posed for what seemed like an eternity with one of his attendants madly trying to take a pic before Chris was whisked away for some shut-eye, and after I had further embarrassed myself. Oh yes, it only gets worse.

So I apologise profusely for holding them up, Chris and the lovely ladies with him leave the building, I sink to the floor to have a sob and there I spy the wrongly twisted dial. I think I was having some sort of 'Patsy' (from AbFab) moment right then because if you'd been there, under the portico of the Crown Casino, you would've seen a mad, dishevelled-haired, mascara-stained woman flapping her arms about and chasing after Chris, shouting "it works now, hey, it works!! PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!" just as Chris slid into the waiting limousine.

Do you reckon he noticed?

Coming soon: The highs and lows of Anna's trip to Melbourne.

Coming later today: Vidcaps of Chris at the Logies, provided by the luffly Jennywren.

If you just can't wait until after I've had my brekkie, SO has a few choice caps at The Billboard.

Avon has sniffed out some new quotes for Statements. 

Sophie's and Kel's profiles have been added to The Nick. 

Excited @ 09/04/01

Yes, Chris will be in Australia for the Logies (Australia's Television awards)! Are we excited FBI Agents? Indeedy we are!! Stay tuned to this spot for further news on his forthcoming trip Down Under. *bounce*

Kidnabbed @ 03/04/01

Folks, meet Matthew, he's six and unlucky for him I spied him riding this toy police trike (a la Chris in his Toys 'R' Us advertisement - see Evidence) near my house on International Burnside Day. (Yep, late again!)

A-ha, said I, this presents a perfect opportunity to introduce a young one to that legend of the small screen, DCI Burnside. So I dragged out the International Burnside Day flier and got him to pose for this pic.  Matthew took two things away from our meeting - a concise history of Frank Burnside's best arrests and a handful of my money. ;)

Repentant @ 31/03/01

"It seems an age since I've seen you."
[My Happiness, Powderfinger]

Yes, yes, I've been a bad, bad web fairy haven't I and have grossly neglected the Files while I've been off playing interior decorator at The Arms. Tsky. I seek now to make amends.

Firstly, please put your hands together for our two newest members, Kel2 and Jamie, who must be congratulated on their patience (they joined up over a month ago - told ya I've been slack!). Jamie's personnel file has been left open for you at The Nick.

Next on the 'to do' list is to tell you that an article on Chris that appeared in Woman's Own is now showing on the Evidence page. Thanks to Moz for the scoop!

We have a few new links on the Snouts page. The Bill PNC, Jennywren's Pages and The Canley Arms are all top fabbytastic places to hang out.

Speaking of super new links, The Sun Hill Chronicle is *the* place to go for heaps of archived The Bill related articles. Our very own Agent 11 JL, supersleuth extraordinaire, is the editor and has gathered a vast collection of pages wordy that are a must read for anyone who reckons they're a serious Bill fan. *Go, go*.

Thinking of joining the Frank Burnside Immortals? All you have to do is this: read the Rules, go to the Membership Details page, choose three tasks to complete and then email us at burnsidefiles@bigpond.com with your answers. Come on, join us, you know you wanna.

Now I think that's your lot and I'm gonna get me one of those Lindt chocolate Easter bunnies to munch on 'cause I've been good. Haven't I?

She May Be Sick But She's Still Quick @ 10/02/01

Another quote added to the Statements page.

Feeling the Itch Again @ 10/02/01

No I haven't got fleas just the urge to update seeing as tonight in Oz Frank makes his last (for now anyway) appearance in The Bill. *sniffle*

We've been very, very busy here at the Files and there is much to update so I'll get straight down to business.

Please welcome CC2000 - Agent 9, Sophie - Agent 10 and Jamaica Lane - Agent 11. Their details will be coming to The Nick soon.

Thinking of joining the Frank Burnside Immortals? All you have to do is this: read the Rules, go to the Membership Details page, choose three tasks to complete and then email us at burnsidefiles@bigpond.com with your answers. Come on, join us, you know you wanna.

A couple of new links have been added to Snouts and another quote has been added to Statements.

CC2000 has put fingers to keyboard and sent us her thoughts on the discussion topic "Burnside is a Very Moral Character". Read about it here.

Jamaica Lane has proved to be a very valuable new member of the FBI. Thanks to his super-sleuthing activities, we'll soon have a whole stack of interesting articles for you to read on the Evidence page. I've added two today and there's heaps more to come. Cheers JL - you're a star!

*Phew* I think that's all for now. To all Burnside fans in Oz - remember to catch up with Frank in The Bill tonight cos it's your last chance to see him in action (well, until we get the Burnside series anyway).

Profiling @ 29/01/01

The dossier on Agent 8 has finally been opened. You can read all about Lisa at The Nick.

Happy New Year one and all!

Starting the new year on an auspicious note, we'd like to welcome Agent 8 to our fold. Congratulations DC Lisa.

Jaye's drawing of Frank has a special addition that needs to be seen to be believed. Have a squizz here! *wink*

[14/11/00 - 31/12/00]

Did you Survive? @ 27/12/00

Phew, Christmas is finally over for another year and at long last we at the FBI can get back to what we do best and that's worshipping Burnside. We've got some terrific tales of our Agents' escapades on International Burnside Day coming soon to a browser near you. Watch this space, baby!

Happy Holidays @ 25/12/00

Season's Greetings to all of our Agents and to all Burnside fans the world over. Eat, drink, be merry, travel safely and if you're a lucky sod who's got hols, enjoy them and remember those less fortunate than your good selves...those who are sitting in front of a 'puter slaving away, trying to update this website on time, suffering the sweltering Sydney heat, cleaning up after the rellies until the wee hours, yada, yada, yada. Did I mention be merry? Next Chrissie is 364 days too close for this gal.

It's Nearly Time @ 15/12/00

International Burnside Day is tomorrow folks and to keep our Agents on their toes, we've given them a challenge. Click here to read all about it.

Show Us Your Stuff @ 15/12/00

Not only did Agent 6, the very talented Jaye, draw Frank's likeness to perfection, she also wrote a little poem in honour of his special day. We think it's wow-worthy! Go, go!!!

Kacey, Agent 7, has also been a very busy girlie. As part of her membership application she has written a fabby dialogue piece. Go, go, go!!!

Busy, Busy @ 11/12/00

Kacey's application to join the FBI has been accepted. Yay! Please welcome Agent 7 to the gang.

Governor has sniffed out some new quotes for the Statement's page. 

Agent 5's details have been added to The Nick. Good one Kristie!

We've got some fabby new pics of Chris courtesy of the wonderful Zena. They're showing now on the Evidence page. 

Party Planning @ 30/11/00

International Burnside Day is just around the corner - 16th December - and Governor has put together a little history about the great day. He also shares with us some fantastic ideas on how we can pay our respects to the legendary Frank Burnside. Keep up the good work Agent 4!

For Your Eyes Only @ 30/11/00

Agent 3, our very own DS Moz, has been loitering around The Nick. Go, go and find out why she reckons Frank is superb!

They're Nicked @ 28/11/00

We've opened the secret dossiers on two of our wonderful FBI Agents. Investigate them further at The Nick.

Over the Quota @ 24/11/00

As part of her Membership Application, Jaye provided us with five fantastic Burnside quotes from To Catch a Cobra and Angel. Check them out on the Statements page. Well done Agent 6!

Agents on the Loose @ 22/11/00

New members? Yeah we got 'em! Wooo hoooooo!!! Please put your hands together and give a warm (but not sweaty) round of applause to all our lovely new Agents:

DS Moz - FBI Agent 3
DC Governor - FBI Agent 4

DC Jaye - FBI Agent 6

Welcome to the gang. We know you'll all be good to the Guv!

Picture Perfect @ 16/11/00

Some lovely new pics of Frank are up on the Evidence page. One from his very first episode Funny Ol' Business - Cops & Robbers and one from Don't Like Mondays. Thanks SO - they're fabby as usual!

Relieved @ 15/11/00

Wow, what a day! The site and fangroup are up and running at long, long last. We really hope you like what we've done and please, feel free to make yourselves at home by sending in any suggestions or stuff you'd like to see appear within these pages.

We've received our very first applications to join the FBI and we'll be getting back to those clever peeps shortly. Just as soon as my hangover has gone. ;)

There's also a couple of new quotes on the Statements page - thanks to SO and Di.

Excited @ 14/11/00 - Launch day is here!
