Even the fact that Ayger looks like a cross between the phantom raspberry blower and the phantom flan flinger doesn't make me less scared.... I don't suppose you'd care to say what, exactly, you're so scared of? I mean, you're not in East Anglia, you're not an archaeologist or historian (too many of them about anyway) and nobody is likely to have buried a crown in your library. I lose myself in the story. I can analyse it with vigour but the feel of it gets into my bones.... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Well, that was interesting, with some nicely atmospheric scenery, but actually rather less scary than last week's. I'm not finding these anything like as creepy as The Turn of the Screw, for example. |

Would you like a break from the (not so) creepy next week and do a (re)watch of the Amazing Mr Blunden, a children's classic of yesteryear?

Well, my dicey second serve might also have been a factor. Fact of the day: I had a 100% record at university tennis. One match. One win. My opponent never showed up. |

I'm quite happy to watch anything next week too. I've got a copy of The Box of Delights (the book) and am looking forward to seeing if it makes more sense than the film. |
