And the final results: 18"

At least, it was up to my knee, and the tape measure tells me that's 18". Fortunately, it was light and fluffy. As it is, I'm sore all over from shoveling ( Read more... )

Well, 'fire' may be the correct excuse for some of the missing Dr Whos, but a friend of ours who worked at the BBC studios in the early seventies saw a pile of old episodes in a skip out the back. He returned in the early hours to rescue them, and gave them back just a few years ago, when he was sure they wouldn't be binned again.

Wow! I'm glad he did rescue them.

The missing story I regret is Shada, the one that was set in Cambridge - it was being filmed when I was a student but was never completed. I've some photos of Tom Baker in a punt stored away somewhere, and I have since realised that I may have caught Douglas Adams as well, as he wrote the script. As far as I'm concerned only the Second, Third and Ninth Doctors are worth much, though.

That's a shame.

Interestingly, it turns out The War Machines had to be reconstructed from censored archive footage found in Nigeria and Australia, plus a complete audio recording, and previews that had been shown on Blue Peter. That was one of the more fascinating special features I've ever watched, actually.

Whoa, cool!

Though Baker is the one I still think of first when I think of Classic Who, as that's who would come on after the kid shows on public television over here when I was a kid. Never saw an actual episode, though. My parents were convinced it ( ... )

18- EIGHTEEN?! That's insane. Any amount of shovelling counts as a hell of a workout, imo.

Hope the soreness and stiffness don't take too long in shoving off, stretching or no.

Thanks. Loads of muscle relaxers and stretching did get it to shove off fairly soon. I was surprised to be able to tell my massage therapist today that nothing was particularly sore.
