Telos have released details of their new Unofficial Guide from prolific writer Keith Topping.
Whats The Story? is the first ever guide to the cult series Balamory and Topping and Telos are proud to be first out of the gate with this one. A spokesperson for Telos said, "This is a first for Telos and were really pleased with it. Keith has delivered a book which dissects the show's mythos and characters and delves deep into its creation. Each and every episode also comes with a critical analysis and a list of facts. Hey, did you know that the original Josie Jump was replaced in 2003 with no explanation whatsoever? Or that PC Plum is addicted to biscuits? Or why the seagulls have disappeared around the coastline?"
Topping also looks at the Buffy crossover episodes - something that normal folk completely missed - such as the Watcher reference during the episode where Miss Hoolie lost her shoulder bag and was helped by Susie Sweet and Penny Pocket to recover it from the Hellmouth.
The book will be available in normal paperback or special edition lead-lined hardback with a designer cover by musical decorator, Spencer, and autographed by Topping himself - in blood.
More exciting Balamory news is that even though the series has been cancelled by the BBC, Big Finish are in talks to bring out a series of Audio Adventures. Unfortunately, eccentric character Archie the Inventor is reluctant to take part as he wants to play the character his way and not like he did in the series.
