Her out of the airship one. Charlie?

A Very Peculiar Practice

[elfwhistletree.livejournal.com]

Now that's a blast from past, and no mistake - we have some tapes inna cupboard but I'm not sure what we have to play them on any more. Brilliantly surreal and hilarious and terrifying by turns, as I recall, and I don't even work in the medical field - I wonder if halotolerant has even seen this series?

[tinselworm.livejournal.com]

I can honestly say I have no idea what any of that means.

I've never seen Old Who (apart from what I've read about in my Aunt's old Blue Peter annuals) - perhaps I should give it a go?

I saw a couple of episodes of SJA on the plane back from the USA this summer & I thought it was vastly better than Torchwood.
