Yes, 8 years ago at the end of March (officially it's March 22nd, but I like to rewrite history and pretend it's a week later to avoid clashing with a certain forum =;) TV Whirl first hit the net. In recent years, updates have slowed, and content has been missing from the site, however as part of the 8th birthday celebrations the content issue has been resolved. Everything I have been able to lay my hands on has now been replaced on the site, with higher quality wherever possible.

As everyone who has been following this site for some time will know, I am working on a long overdue rebuild of the site codenamed Revision 14 (it will be goodbye to revision numbers from then onwards, honest =:P), which is going to see a lot of brand new content (which has been gathering since 2006 on my computer). However unlike the previous changes in its life, this is a massive overhaul to the whole essence of this site, thus is taking a *very* long time to get through.

I didn't want to allow another birthday to go by without some mark, so instead I've turned my attention back towards the videos. Everything up to Revision 10 went back online as a trial last year, with new improved quality, and a change to the latest video format. To mark the 8th birthday of the site, the remainder of the missing content on the site returned too. In total that comes to 288 clips from across the ages.

... and no sooner do I say that that last update of the birthday series was online, than I go and add some more. This time though its a completely new content feature, covering Dave over the Easter Weekend 2009, as they celebrate the return of the cult sci-fi/sitcom Red Dwarf to our screens for a small series of specials. Special presentation and continuity from over the weekend can be found on the page below, with updates continuing through the whole weekend. Update 9 brings 4 more continuity clips from Easter Monday to the collection, this time with Cat to complete the invision continuity from the cast...
