Spitty we didn't know she was around earlier. Just imagine her 'opening' Viv's Illustrated Worlds attraction - standing in front of the gypsy caravan!

Who would have thought the Kirrins were well brought-up middle-class children? :?

Most popular YouTube clip here in Doctor Who-land. Everyone wants to see 'Gary hitting a poor girl'. Oh how my reputation suffers ...

So that's a "yes" then?!

By the way, I'm enjoying the new Doctor Who cartoon, Dreamland. (BBC, daily, via the red button). Congratulations to the director, Gary Russell, on a great programme!

or maybe he is too scared...
If that's really the case, I should perhaps tell him that NATO shops stock second-hand bullet-proof vests, used just the once... . :D (Saw it the other day and you can imagine what I thought...)
Besides, maybe working for and with Doctor Who might be catching and Gary is able to regenerate?

Would be great if you could come. Even if you were "going to hit us, too"
I really love that episode of the 70s series, just watched it once again last night, you did a wonderful job! Thanks.

Cheers

Violence at the Loddon Hall? I'm not sure if this is what Tony had in mind for May 2010. :lol: :wink:

Can't believe I've missed this thread for so long, too much overtime at the moment and not enough rest!!

It would be great to see you at Twyford, I'll get on Marcus' case and will pester him!

Reminds my actually, I've a great bw photo of you and the boys pulling in George's boat, let me know if you've not seen it and I'll dig it out, scan it and show a piccy...

If Gary came along too we could re-enact the punch up scene on stage and 'Julian' could break it up! :lol:

Julian as the "good guy" so to speak? :wink:
In the book, it is Dick who shows some sympathy and kindness to Jo while Julian would rather see her go. Why they did it the other way round in that episode, with Julian and Dick doing a sort of "good cop - bad cop" scheme (especially in the woods and going up to Red's place) on poor Jo always beats me. But it is most entertaining and well-acted though.
If somebody is needed to pull "Dick" and "Jo" apart, may I suggest DCI Gene Hunt from "Life on Mars"? He'd be perfect for the job pulling up in his Cortina at Loddon Hall and storming onto the stage... :D

Cheers

That sounds like the sort of thing that Steve Coogan's creation Alan Partridge would re-enact on the spoof chat show Knowing Me Knowing You. :lol:

A Cortina, I thought Gene Hunt said it was a Quatro?

Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
