The Culture Show, BBC TWO, Thursday night, 7.00pm and 11.20pm. Alan Moore is being interviewed. Alan Moore never does TV interviews, so this should be something of a rare treat.

Especially if you want to have your perceptions of what a man who looks like this and who wrote Watcmen, V For Vendetta and Miracleman ought to sound like completely shattered. Because, after all, he patently obviously should sound like a cross between Sir Ian McKellen and Brian Blessed. Instead, he sounds incredibly Brummie, indeed far more so than someone from Northampton should. Great stuff.

UPDATE - If you missed the Moore feature, it's now available to view on the Culture Show website, until the 16th March. Well worth a look - it's a rare chance to see Moore speak about his work (and films of his work) in a wry, amusing way.
