b"Well folks, it's been one year now since we started\\xa0Midnight Video\\xa0and by Jove we're still here. \\xa0It's been great to see the download numbers rise steadily and we just wanted to say a big thank you indeed for letting us into your ears and the darker recesses of you\\xa0subconscious. \\xa0Hopefully we've planted some cinematic seeds in there that will germinate and force you to search unceasingly for more movie oddities that need to be seen, heard and digested.\\n\\nAnyway as it's our Birthday and being the type of people we are, we though we'd do something a little different, dare I say special, for our Birthday show. \\xa0So shunning the medium which got us here in the first place, tonight we'll be delving into literature, comic books and music.\\n\\nFirst up, Roger Moore's diary written during the making of his debut Bond,\\xa0Live And Let Die. \\xa0We take a look at\\xa0Roger Moore as James Bond.\\n\\nSticking with the written word we add some pictures and dissect Norwegian cartoonist Jason's comic book\\xa0Why Are You Doing This?\\n\\nAnd then we finish things off by avoiding invaders from Mars and a religious turn from Thin Lizzy's lead singer in\\xa0Jeff Wayne's Musical Of The War Of The Worlds."
