Hey there. The hormonal haze is lifting (slowly) and I'm starting to get a bit more organised again, well, as organised as I ever get, anyhoo (apologies to all those folks who end up buried at the bottom of the inbox). Still, I've complained to Amazon about the dvd box sets with tyre tracks over the top of them and I made a few comfirmational calls last night, despite the large spider obviously trained to jealously guard the phone against late night international calls. He just would not piss off, not even when chased by the fly swatter.

Must get a better fly swatter, that one has no swish, and I know intimately what a proper fly swatter can do - my mother must have broken over a dozen on me so far.

Anyhoo, I have a shiny new fandom. Yes, I watched Primeval again last night (well, in my defence I was unwell and unfit for any other duty). I love it to bits. It's kinda silly but it has a great deal of charm and lots of pretty and some genuinely great tv moments.

OTP quote of the day:
"There's a massive conflict but we wanted them to be a partnership. It does grow into a really lovely relationship. We lived next door to each other in Manchester - we were married for two years - and Phil came round to watch a rough cut of episode two. There's a bit at the end, and we stood up and hugged each other. It was really sweet." - MEN

But, from the same article comes the highly dusturbing:
"a nod to another famous double act - Morecambe and Wise."

Oh, please, no. Not the fighting international terrorism with flying fish from series four of The Sweeney? Oh dearie me. I said no M&W - weren't you lot listening? Good grief.

Compared to that, the news that Derek Jacobi will be chewing the cheap scenery in Doctor Who is a doddle.

No, cancel that. I'm in dire need of a Bex and a lie down.

And if they must stunt cast, then, in the name of all that is holy, can you please gimme some Brian Blessed lovin'? Ta. (I know he's been in Who before but I'm of the firm opinion that one can never have too much Brian).
