YOU ARE WATCHING THE -BOUFF GOES RETRO- DEMO PRODUCED EXCLUSIVELY FOR COMMODORE ZONE ISSUE 16! THIS DEMO WAS CREATED FOR THE COMMODORE 64 BY JASON KELK (TMR) WHO NOT ONLY CODED THE BEASTIE BUT ALSO TRANSFERRED THE IMAGES OF BOUFF ONTO THE GOOD OLD BEIGE BREADBOX. THE GORGEOUS TUNE YOU ARE HEARING IS BY RICHARD RINN (DEEK). OH, AND TO KEEP YOU COMPANY IN THIS DEMO WITH SOME SCROLLY BANTER IS KENZ! SO WHAT'S THIS DEMO ALL ABOUT THEN? BASICALLY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A C64 BOUFF DEMO TO TIE IN WITH THE THEME OF ISSUE 16. AND IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING WHO BOUFF IS, SHE'S ONE OF THE THREE FEISTY MINXES THAT PRESENTED THE SADLY DEPARTED CHANNEL 4 GAME AND GADGET SHOW KNOWN SIMPLY AS -BITS-! BUT HOW DID SPAWNY OLD ME GET INVOLVED WITH BOUFF? WELL, THAT'S AN INTERESTING STORY WHICH I'LL NOW SHARE WITH YOU. ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY? THEN I'LL BEGIN. IT ALL STARTED WITH ME BEING A FAN OF THE SHOW. THIS PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THREE GIRLS WHO PRESENTED BITS (ALEKS KROTOSKI, EMILY NEWTON DUNN AND EMILY BOOTH) WHO ARE ALL RATHER LOVELY. I ALSO LOVED THE MAD STUFF THEY GOT UP TO ON THE SHOW (WHICH REMINDED ME OF MY XMAS CHORTLES MOVIE AT TIMES!) I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE SHOW WHEN I ENTERED THEIR GEEKWATCH COMPO FOR A LARF LAST YEAR. I DID RATHER WELL IN THE COMPO (I ALMOST WON IT WITH MY RETRO JAPERY) AND WAS THEN INVITED TO THE SERIES 5 LAUNCH PARTY UP IN GLASGOW. THIS WAS A GREAT HOOT AND AFTER THE PARTY I WENT CLUBBING WITH BOUFF AND GOT MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT PISSED! I HELPED OUT THE BITS GANG WITH ALL SORTS OF STUFF DURING SERIES 5 AND ALSO GAVE BOUFF A HAND WITH HER PYJAMARAMA RETRO FEATURE. I WAS EVEN PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CGI FINALE AT THE END OF SERIES 5 (WHICH DEPICTED EACH BITS PRESENTER COMING TO A GRISLY END!) WHEN SERIES 5 OF BITS ENDED BOUFF WAS AT A LOOSE END AND I HAD THE IDEA TO DO A PHOTO SHOOT FOR AN ONLINE STORE SELLING BOUFF MERCHANDISE. I ALREADY RAN A BITS FAN SITE (THE BITS GRAB FEST) AND RECEIVED MANY EMAILS FROM PEOPLE ASKING IF ANY BOUFF STUFF WAS AVAILABLE. ALL THIS RESULTED IN BOUFF.TV - THE OFFICIAL EMILY BOOTH ONLINE STORE! AND THAT BRINGS US RIGHT UP TO DATE (THIS ISSUE OF COMMODORE ZONE IS ACTUALLY AVAILABLE FROM BOUFF.TV!) RIGHT, NOW THE HISTORY LESSON IS OUT THE WAY IT'S TIME FOR ME TO FIRE OFF SOME GREETINGS! A LOUD YO!
