I know James included most of this in the recent Best Of Adam and Joe show but in celebration of Professor Brian Cox's three day sky lollop, I thought I'd put the whole thing here.

I haven't done the job of chopping out Joe's little mistake(s).  It would be disingenuous of me.......and take time.....and David is so lovely.

From 2nd April 2011

During tonight's Stargazing, PBC started to mention Eta Carinae but stopped and showed a picture of something else.  Shame.

They also did a light pollution experiment from Dulverton in Devon where I believe Joe told us he has fond, childhood memories.

....and lest we should forget, The Universe downloads the podcast.

Finally, here is James Hood's illustration from The Universe Show.

It has dropped off the iPlayer now so I feel safe in sharing the reading from this book, that Adam did for Tom Ravenscroft just before Christmas.

(From 23rd December 2011)

Tom is sitting in for Gideon Coe this week, in fact, he might even be on air now!

At 9pm tonight, BBC2 are repeating Daniel Rigby's BAFTA award winning performance in the spuriously titled "Eric and Ernie" which is a thinly veiled exposé of the early days of Adam and Joe.*

From 6th June 2011

*(It's not but it's brills.)

Fondly remembering the days when they were like newly born, ramshackled foals, stumbling to their BBC feet, here's a little New Year song to get you in gear for this morning's Best of 2011 Show at 10am.

Happy New Year's Eve and please get shitfaced responsibly

As tradition would have it, the last Broadcasting House show of the year on Radio4 presents one incredible person with their covetted award.

This year, that great honour went to Joe Cornish.  The event is no longer on the iPlayer although I believe the podcast is available until the middle of January. I felt enough time had passed to justify popping the clip in here.

A couple of people had their Human Christmas Tree pictures loaded onto the BH home page here and here.

Why would I waste time forcing bread and herbs into a place where the sun don't shine when I could make a really low quality, utterly disrespectful bit of nonsense like this?

Happy Christmas, Adam and Joe fans everywhere.

Adam read a seasonal story on Tom Ravenscroft's show last night.

You can still listen to Garth's lovely festive tune too.

Best of 2011 show broadcasts at 10am on 31st December 2011 and hopefully, a couple of podcasts will follow.

I've been meaning to knock this one out and it drifted across my laser head last night by way of a reminder.

Yeah, I realise Lars saw fit to miss some of Joe's carefully thought out details when he made Melancholia but in a glass-half-full way, that leaves the opportunity for Joe to expand on the idea himself in the future........no wait, Joe never divulges ideas he thinks he might need for himself......

From XFM Series 2 Ep 7 (as the Adam and Joe Fan Community describe it) around March 2005.

Don't forget, James Coffee Starling has sifted through a handful of the best bits from the 2011 Adam and Joe Radio Shows to make three glorious hours of 6Music joy on New Year's Eve.

Adam Buxton is having a fiddle down under in January with what I hope will be a corked-hat filled version of BUG and this means BUG29 will hit the BFI in February for which you can buy tix in January.

He's made a lovely festive YouTube video to warm your cocks and gladden your heart.

Joe Cornish has gone back to being lazy again.

If you see him in the street, just shout 'yo stretch!' and that'll wake him up. Hopefully, it won't make him drop the bundle of scripts he's carrying in a reenactment of that incident in Borders with the silly stand.

The product of his last burst of activity is available in a handy-to-wrap-for-Christmas shaped variety of boxes. Don't rent it, you fools. You'll miss all the lovely extras.

UPDATED:The system seems a little easier now and there are plenty of seats left in this enormous auditorium.

Available seats are indicated by a square:

Hopefully the ticketing system will be sorted tomorrow.

With thanks to @Londonswf for the picture which I have stolen, without even asking, until such time as I'm asked to remove it. *

Joe spent an hour in conversation at the London Screenwriters Festival this afternoon.  

Here follows a selection of the tweets and I'm expecting Leilani Holmes to summarise on their blog at some point. These are better read from the bottom up. I don't have time to format them any better than this at the moment.

#LondonSWF Joe Cornish is very giving with his replies. He's an edgy guy too. I like him. He's deadly honest.

Lot of bulked-up subplots in #DieHard came about as Bruce Willis unavailable for filming. #joecornish #londonswf

Joe Cornish's fav film at film school was #DieHard. Top man! #londonswf

#LondonSWF Wherever possible he tried to record unmitigated behavior in the actors. But impro doesn't happen on set, it's too expensive.

ha ha....after saying he'd just finished all the research for his next film, Joe is now saying he's still doing it #Schtummmmm

#JoeCornish #LondonSWF JC did Robert McKee course & read screenwriting books, but they just made him feel like he was doing something wrong.

Take advantage of all the people around you, the crew, the art directors and most importantly the actors - Joe Cornish #Londonswf

#LondonSWF In one of his first meetings with Spielberg he is ashamed he asked if there were aliens in Indiana Jones 4.

'Approach it as something you like & not a chore' Joe Cornish & @edgarwright on writer's block at #LondonSWF 2011

Joe Cornish likes writing after 3pm as that's when school ended. So writing after 3pm feels like fun; before, feels like work! #londonswf

#LondonSWF Never stop 'plussing' (improving stuff) is his thing but it can be very tiring during production when writing & directing.
