Missing In Action: Members Who've Gone Silent / Haven't Been Seen For Some Time

It's been repossessed! I'll be around the back with the tandem.

So that confirms @GNC is The Doctor, and @ramonmercado is Bernard Cribbins

EDIT2
That disturbing BBC Radio Four sci-fi drama series, set in a fractured future where antibiotics no longer exist (and rUK migrants are trying to smuggle themselves over the Severn into the sanctury of Wales) is called "The Truth About Hawaii". It's very good, in some ways, though flawed in places (thankfully) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09pn78z

Interesting....so the 10-episode drama series each as a 15min radio programmes (about an apocalyptic bacterial pandemic) was

"On BBC Radio 4 with support from Wellcome Trust". So this is super-big pharma, directly-funding what is either fearporn or cute-fi fiction. Perhaps if they ever do a remake of "Threads" they can get sponsorship from AWE Aldermaston.
 
The Wellcome Trust is a research charity innit?
I'd say that although it is a medical funding charity, it is more of a biochemical financial futures hub that is tied-in to the commercial realities of industrial pharmaceutical development.

My puzzlement still stands.

Will we now see future BBC dramas set in the 3rd world with funding support from Oxfam? Or nautically-themed radio plays supported by the RNLI? I feel it's a strange development (if it is that) and almost mirrors the public sector cross-funding from interest groups that's evident in the USA. But perhaps I'm making at ant-hill from a mole-hill.

That's interesting, I had no idea (and good to see you on the forum, hadn't noticed any posts from you for ages! :D )
 
Whatever happened to ol' Moooksta? I recall he modded here for a bit...

Moooksta was last seen:

I think RL got in the way. He was working with Visual/Digital effects in London but I think they all got let go or something. His posts slowed down and then just stopped. I was in very brief contact with him a year or so ago but after that...there was silence.
 
I think I must have missed a scuffle--Dreeness has wandered off.
