The revival series must have been successful - well, in ignoring the annoying format extension that eliminated the pacy nature of the original series - enough to warrant a second series as Remedy Productions are advertising for people to apply.

Paid setting
I've managed to find some paid setting opportunities which I'm really pleased about. I'll still update the blog regularly, but I'll probably need to give more priority to the paid setting.
Twitter account
The blog now has a Twitter account - here. Hopefully people may find the blog from there and decide to bookmark it, or perhaps they'll visit it once and mark it down as a site never to be visited again, I'm not sure which. Still, if you're on Twitter, please follow!
