Ack. I'm trying to write Dawn/Anya/Gunn for marenfic's Sandwich Ficathon and it's not working. Even trying my two favourite plot devices (Wishverse and post-apocalypse) isn't helping. I can't get Anya's voice at all - I don't think I can write Buffyverse fic that's not from a British character's POV any more. I've gone rusty.

May have to leave it till tomorrow and have a go at my Rose Tyler ficathon assignment instead.

*pets* I will loan you Robots of Death and The Talons of Weng-Chiang to cheer you up.

Currently am cheering self up for losing THREE SUCCESSIVE AUCTIONS of Terror of the Autons today by watching the Earthshock extras. I *have* to get that episode. Its novelisation kept me awake in clammy fear for days on end when I was wee and nipped my habit of getting DW novelisations out of the library in the bud because it was just that scary.

I've heard Talons of Weng-Chiang is good. I think I have Robots of Death here *checks* yep, got it on VHS a couple of weeks ago, but haven't round to watching it (since that would require me attaching the video to the TV and wah, effort)

It has the CUTEST VICTORIAN GENTLEMEN EVER.

VILLAIN: *threats of agonising deaths on par with anything Fleming could have dreamed up*
VICTORIAN GENTLEMAN 1: You ghastly bounder!

In one of his genius Dalek movies the Peter Cushing Doctor exclaims " 'pon my soul!" I demand that all the rest of the Doctors take to saying this. And also to introducing themselves as 'Doctor Who'.

*outrage* No! Nobody on the show should say Doctor Who. 'tis just plain wrong.

Do you have any Hartnell recs? A fabulous documentary on the Talons of Weng-Chiang extras (presented by an impossibly youthful Melvyn Bragg!) had many seriously cool clips from his run. I s'pose if I'm only to buy one, I should buy the Dalek Invasion of Earth, since it made Sky's Top Ten Sci-Fi Moments and I don't have any other Dalek ones. Then again, I know nothing about any of his other episodes.

Yes, Dalek Invasion is good - The Aztecs is a cheesy good time, and sees One getting engaged, which would seem a bit at odds with the 'omg pre-Nine Doctors HAVE NO WILLY' thing.
