Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
"See that? It's the black Bentley again. KMF 102!"

I don't think so, though if she knows Gary, who works on Torchwood... :idea: :D


Do we dare ask? :oops: :lol:

Thanks for asking! Well here's one I've just finished. Just warming up, remembering how to use the program.

The real work, starts tomorrow probably, after I've done my chores! :D

I shall be taking some more 70's and 90's screen caps so I have an abundance! :D

Looks great! :mrgreen:

How large will the wallpapers be? I have my desktop set to 1280x1024 dpi, and the monitor I use, can handle a maximum of 1600x1200 dpi.

Thanks

I usually make them 800x600, so they will probably fit all desktops.

If you have any problems, there's a good resizing site I use to change the size of the picture, but doens't harm the pixels or graphic! :mrgreen: :D

800x600 dpi will fit. But since I use higher resolutions, that resizing site may be my best option. :)

I'm about to head off to bed, Pippa-Stef. We're 7 or 8 hours in front of the UK. :( I'll click on the link, after I've had some sleep.

Thank you. :)

Blimey - this thread is becoming a chat room conversation! :wink:

Staying with the Pertwee/Dr Who theme, We went to Aldbourne, near Marlborough yesterday. This is the village that was Devil's End in the story, The Daemons. It hasn't changed at all - apart from the church being beautifully rebuilt, the forcefield gone and no sign of Jo Grant anywhere!

We had a great pint of Wadworth's IPA in The Cloven Hoof - now called The Blue Boar - and I got chatting with a lady who remembered the story being filmed. She said Jon was a wonderful man who gave all the local kids a ride in Bessie.

I walked all round the church, and all of the gargoyles had gone, and fortunately, no sign of any daemons.

This story is definitely one of my favourite episodes.

If I remember correctly Moonraker, it was also one of Jon Pertwee's favourite stories as well.

Moonraker, did you take your username from the James Bond movie, or did it come from somewhere else? Just curious, that's all.
