Here's the hard bit. Start time Downunder is 8.30pm. In the UK it's 9.30am (GMT). Got that? An early start for British insomniacs. Let's see how many of you manage it. D6 Headhunter. What can I say? One of the worst B7 episodes, for me. I do try to suspend my disbelief, but honestly... If you have to write something involving a walking headless 'corpse', at least make the costume believable. On that point, here's a handy hint: we never see Muller alive, so why not employ a shorter actor, who will not necessitate making the robot a 'head' taller than everyone else? And please don't have said 'corpse' sounding like it's a reject from a DW/Dracula crossover. (Now there's a thought!). The one bright spot in this dismal effort is Lynda Bellingham, who is always worth watching. Remember, once we're through this, our reward is a run of SIX consecutive episodes with Servalan! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hello. Am I here? I’m now sure…. Let me check. I’m not in Trundle, I’m not in Melbourne. I’m not in Tassie again (but will be AGAIN in three weeks time.) I’m not at Oktoberfest, I’m not even out with friends. Yeah looks like I might be here. Cool. ;-) Are you all well? What have you been up to? |

Hi people. Loading up here. I would like to say I'm not exhausted but I am. Can't wait for some time when I'm not. How are you both?
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Meanwhile, what's happening with Tycecon II? Dunno. We're waiting to see what the Sirens of Audio have planned with Sally. They want us to guarantee an audience but won't give us potential times or places. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

We ‘need’ to get started but we can’t till we hear from them and we’re getting nothing. :-) |

No pillows in the third calendar, or is it just something to do with Tarrant's neck?

Wouldn't Lynda - sorry, Mrs Oxo,... sorry, Mrs Muller... refer to her husband as 'my husband' rather than 'Muller'?

Can't say I like the red and grey ensemble. Grey and grey are so much more tasteful. But <sigh> it was the 80s.

I can see Mullet’s arm. If he was a robot, wouldn’t he just have a metal arm? |

Hi, sorry I'm late - I'm expecting a package, and wanted to have a shower before watching this, so as not to be caught out and miss the postman. And I always think I have more time than I do. Anyway, the heresy book is in (hooray!) and I had a glorious day of doing nothing on Thursday. |
