Mar. 23rd, 2006 07:10 pmThe one day I decide I'm going to do something after work other than get glued to the internets all night, I leave my book at work. I was enjoying that one. It had Four and Nyssa in 13th century Oxford and monks and knights and the scientific method. I will just have to resign myself to one of my other 200-something DW books. (I and my bank balance both wish I was joking)
I'm eking out my Bertha episodes. Bertha, for those unfortunate enough not to have watched lots of British children's television in the Eighties, is a gentle little stop-motion animation thing about a big green machine who can make anything. Like, ooh... money-boxes in the shape of windmills! Meanwhile the factory workers gently pootle around stacking a few boxes here, having a crisis over a stray mouse there, and drinking lots of tea. I can't imagine it was shown anywhere outside the UK, because kids would just have gone "what the shit? This show should be about a dinosaur! Who travels in time! And plays the electric guitar, whoo!"*
HIGNFY people: I've got Best of the Guest Presenters Vol 2. Any particularly good bits I should be looking out for?
I have Lois and Clark on DVD, too, because WH Smith foolishly marked it down to £18.99 (why is TOS still £45 a season, Mr Smith?). It is like my last year of primary school all over again. I was so in love with them. I had a pencil case with Lois and Clark on it. I wrote to Dean Cain and everything. And he replied with a signed card that was in no way a standard thing an underling sent out. In my 10-year-old head this meant we were practically engaged.
* I've just discovered that 'Denver the Last Dinosaur' is on DVD. Blockbuster owns me.
