What we did on your holiday

[altariel]

altariel: It's Independence Day, we can't just go to work.
mraltariel: [closing laptop hurriedly] Erm, no. What do you want to do then?
altariel: I suppose we can't spend the day just talking about Doctor Who again, can we?
mraltariel: There's a Law and Order marathon on TNT...

And what about John Ringham as the humptastic Tlotoxl? Philip Madoc as Dr Mehendri "Mad? That's what they called me at the Academy!" Solon? Or Dinsdale Lansden as Dr "For a cripple, I'm quite a mover " Judson?

Our highly scientific method involved coming up with a much longer list, bubble-sorting, and then culling. Philip Madoc was on that list (came 11th, IIRC), and dear Nicky Parsons was mooted too.


Fuck, I love Doctor Who. Just watched Last of the Time Lords again on Virgin's random catchup service and I don't care what any of you say, it's smashing. Especially the Scissor Sisters bit.

Sir, we are as one on this.

And, PS, Mr A. agrees about Liz Sladen and the Technicality.
