He may simply not want anyone else to benefit in any way from any renewed popularity. From a bloke who's repackaged his stage shows numerous times, it isn't through fear of over-familiarity.

Possibly, I guess some deals are that way, or it'd be a rights nightmare.

I've given up expecting to get rich from my work on The Grumbleweeds in the 80's...even if Disney+ market them as the next big thing....

Oh no, Kitson is absolutely one of the good guys, but I hear he called Kay out on racism in Phoenix Nights and got pillioried for it. Slagged off by Kay on the commentary and, apparently, his face blurred out on repeats.

Absolutely. Phoenix Nights was great, and he was very good in it, but to take all of the credit is a bit grubby.

Max & Paddy is a grim watch, though.

Yep.

This. Exactly.

Also Daniel Kitson.

Is that the reason he's giving now?

Riiiight....

Or....does he object to some of the participants getting paid if it is repeated.....?

I have an A500 mini and play it regularly, along with the best game ever made, The Chaos Engine.

He was an absolute legend of a cat, and my first pet after leaving home and living on my own. 😺

I had a cat called Mortimer, who on different occasions came back with half a cooked fish, his collar he'd lost a few days previously (because he hated the new one I'd bought), and, most impressively, a hot pork sandwich in a white paper bag.
