I won't be joining you tonight as I have to go out. Have watched the first episode - very entertaining (although still not reaching the giddy heights of episode 2). |

Greetings, gang! Andes by Frog? I’m expecting ‘lavish’ here. Stunning locations. Stellar FX. Scope for a low-budget sequel. Maybe ‘Over the Mendips by Mollusc’. |

If they cheat and have toads masquerading as frogs, M Kid will soon pipe up. You can be quite sure about that. Oh yes. |
