Sorry but no new desktop themes ready for July 2001 - I am still trying to find time to complete a couple of themes I have been working on, but paying the bills has to come first I am afraid!

for July 2001 are the July and August
Desktop Calendar - an original idea
providing additional themed Desktop wallpapers to accompany the
Wallace and Gromit Desktop Theme available from this web site.

desktop with each new month in 2001. Check it out at my

popular desktop theme based on the classic BBC TV comedy Only Fools and Horses, featuring the Trotter lads, Derek and Rodney,
who together comprise Trotters Independent Trading Co.,
In their yellow 3-wheeled Reliant Regal Supervan as they
prepare to take on the world.... well Peckham, at least!

The next Theme features those loveable clay figures, Wallace and Gromit the heroes of the three Nick Park films shown on BBC television, A Grand Day Out, the Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. The films are set in the '50's in the north of England, where we find Wallace, a madcap inventor, and his long suffering dog Gromit, getting into all sorts of scrapes and adventures thanks to the clever script writing and production of Aardman Films, under the expert creation and direction of Nick Parks.

for December 1999 is version 2 of my tribute
theme of the hit BBC comedy series Black Adder which during the years 1983 to 1989 brought a
whole new meaning to the term historical laughter!! The
show traces the misfortunes of one Edmond
Blackadder (played by Mr. Bean himself,
Rowan Atkinson) and his hapless serf, Baldrick,
played by Tony Robinson. Version 2 has been made fully
Windows 98 compliant and includes a brand new multi-media
screensaver, a third desktop wallpaper file and a Windows
98 My Documents icon. To find out more about
Black Adder and preview/download this Desktop Theme,
click on the Black Adder graphic. |

I don't believe it I can hear you say! The fourth theme is my tribute to that hit BBC comedy One Foot in the Grave in which we are introduced to that loveable old codger Victor Meldrew and his long suffering wife Margaret. The show ran on the BBC during the years 1990 to 1995 and was also the subject of six Christmas specials. Victor, played by the accomplished actor Richard Wilson, and his faithful tolerant wife, Margaret, played by Annette Crosbie feature in this popular TV comedy about a retired couple - Victor learns to cope with enforced retirement and Margaret learns to cope with Victor!! To find out more about Victor Meldrew and preview/download this Desktop Theme, click on the One Foot in the Grave graphic. |

This next Desktop Theme features some of the wackiest characters appearing on any BBC TV comedy show Harry Enfield and Chums - now I do not believe you wanted to know that!! This successful format, now in it's second series, features the creative talents of Harry Enfield and writers, Paul Whitehouse, Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, the show features some amazing characters that you will be able to identify and recognise immediately. My favourite - Kevin - he hates his Mum and thinks his Dad is pathetic. To find out more about Harry Enfield and preview/download this Desktop Theme, click on the Harry Enfield and Chums graphic. |
 |
Another of the popular BBC TV comedy shows to be featured at this site is that ever popular sitcom Keeping Up Appearances - now dear come on in, take off your shoes and do mind the wallpaper!! The show features Hyacinth Bucket (err, sorry dear that's pronounced Bouquet) played by Patricia Routledge and Richard, her henpecked husband played by Clive Swift, and follows the antics of this middle class couple and the lengths that Hyacinth will go to impress the neighbours. If you would like to meet some of the characters from Keeping Up Appearances and/or preview/download this Desktop Theme, click on the Keeping Up Appearances graphic. |

This Theme breaks the mould here at in that it is a departure from
the subject matter of this web site. The theme represents
my tribute to one of the greatest football clubs in the
world - Manchester
United. Now you can live
football on your desktop - now available in version 3.0 -
c'mon you Reds. To preview/download the Theatre of Dreams
Desktop Theme, click
on the Manchester United graphic. |

Next we are pleased to feature the hit TV comedy sitcom, Men Behaving Badly - Tony and Gary are two mates who share a flat and fancy the "Totty" upstairs in the adjoining flat. The sitcom centres on their often outrageous behaviour to the fairer sex and what the ladies will do to get their own back. To find out more about Men Behaving Badly and preview/download this Desktop Theme, click on the Men Behaving Badly graphic. |
 |
This theme is inspired by that ultimate disaster movie, Bean featuring Mr. Bean himself Rowan Atkinson. Whilst there are other Mr. Bean themes available on the net we hope you will agree that this is comes close to the best of them! To find out more about Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Theme and preview/download this Theme, click on the Mr Bean graphic. |

This next theme features one of newest comedy shows to hit BBC Television, Goodness Gracious Me a fast moving collection of hilarious sketches which take a light hearted look at Anglo-Asians living in the UK.
