Btw while I was looking into the cast on tonight's episode, I discovered that Chief Sharkey's middle name is Ethelbert...


Excellent.. Don't get many Ethelberts these days.


I have been reading Geoffrey Gaimar's Estoire des Angles today, and have discovered that the Anglo-Norman for Alfred is Elvered.

You can see where Tolkien got Elbereth Gilthoniel from.

Even better. That name deserves its own ficlet.


It does, doesn't it?

Is that a toy executioner that they have on the flying sub with them? Who on earth plays with a toy executioner?

OOO, sneaky aliens. How come they speak in English? American English at that.

It's a well-known (English) fact that the French are impossible. I'm not surprised.

They had mini guillotines which may or may not have involved small rodents...

What about the Rights of Cat? says Roxy. They definitely state that cats have the right to all small rodents.

HA! Found Lee in a wetsuit, just as the SC wanted. About 35 minutes in. Not as good as the black leather she remembered, but maybe it'll do for now.

I like the idea of the old lady interrupting the executions so that she can guillotine her yarn!

One of my cats did a standing jump to twice her own height and caught one of those helicopter dragon flies this afternoon. Impressive.

Or anyone else's. Only their own. Look what (almost) happened to the Scarlet Pimpernel!

If Admiral Nelson sends anymore men into the water there'll be no one left onboard.

I mean, why toys? Aliens thought humans wouldn't suspect them? But they would be totally out of place and therefore highly suspicious. Not making a lot of sense tonight.

I do feel that they could have smashed those toys up earlier. Why didn't they?

That was daft but highly enjoyable.

Don't forget that everything after Series 1 is on YouTube (I think) so you can fill in any gaps for yourselves whenever you have a spare moment. Diane (SC Diane) would love to join us: VTTBOTS was her fave TV until Blake took over.
