@bluesqueakpip, @craig,

In spite of the fact that life still seems to get in the way (but reflections on The Keys of Marinus will hopefully follow soon) I can guarantee you that the attack of the mace will have have pin-point accuracy and deadly consequences!

So… bring on The Aztecs!

Thanks @craig

Crikey, a six episode binge! I’ll do my best.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

Well, one minute I am looking forward to The Keys of Marinus and the next…well, sometimes life gets in the road. But for now, off to the spoilers page!

@craig

Any chance of moving forward on @bluesqueakpip‘s suggestion? Given your recent post and the onset of Christmas it would be lots of fun. And maybe it would even attract people back on the board.

@bluesqueakpip, @whisht

Totally in agreement–with the suggestion and with the choices. Quite a few people on the board have confessed to watching very little (if any) BG Who.

I don’t believe I have ever used this thread before. Actually, I am surprised it exists (thanks @craig!) but I just wanted to share the fact that the American playwright (and actor) Sam Shepard has died. I remember seeing his “Curse of the Starving Class” at the theatre back in the 1970s (or was it the 80s?) and thought (and still think) it was…[Read more]

@nerys — I agree with you 100%, and if it was possible to agree with you more than 100% I would!

Oh dear, I spent so much time typing that @jimthefish got in there first. Back to the cup of tea.
