Mr. Biffo is best known as the editor of Teletext-based video games magazine Digitiser, which ran between 1993 and 2003.

Hi, noticed this is up for "speedy deletion". However, the guy is real - it's the penname of Paul Rose, who is an esteemed writer in UK television. More information about him can be found at his site: http://www.mrbiffo.com - the FAQ has links to his other work, including writing for the TV Soap Eastenders.

Hope this clears up the misunderstanding - Cheers, Tom

Mr Biffo is a real person, however it is only a psuedonymn (sp). His main 'claim to fame' is that he was the author of digitiser, which recieved 1 million viewers each day, which is more than any printed magazine gets per month in the UK. He was also nominated for a bafta for his work on my parents are aliens. Deleting this page would be like deleting any other screen writers' page. Pod 18:41, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mr Biffo means an enormous amount to a whole swathe of people... his occasionally subversive humour has shaped a nation's, by subtle means.

It would be very messed-up to remove this page-me-do.

Hello

Maybe "mr biffo" should just redirect to a "Paul Rose" entry. I don't see why Rose/Biffo can't have a wikipedia page, but to be honest the entry is pretty poor and could be rewritten - perhaps by Biffo himself or someone who isn't just off the forum. Looking through the history of the page it seems there have been a couple edits which would fall under patent nonsense or POV ("inventor of the phrase 'moc-moc-a-moc'", "mr biffo is this: aces" etc.). It is fun to make up random shite on wikipedia sometimes but you can hardly complain when someone recommends the page for deletion (not necessarily suggesting that people whining are the same people who added the rubbish). - Lobo
