*        Cheers, Olga!   I’m just thankful I’ve found somewhere that would take my money: and listen to me drone on.   I also managed to post the photo on Instagram: I ended up with the owner doing my hair, and spent five minutes, showing him how to use Instagram.   Hopefully, I’ll get a discount, next time!   Oh, keep your eyes peeled for the Teaser on 5th October, you’ll like that one!   Apparently, the police are investigating four places associated with the killer.   One’s seen a ‘controlled explosion.’   Make of that what you will.

†        Cheers, Trevor: I’ll correct that, when I insert today’s link.   Play fair, though, they are both green … !   At any rate, someone’s done Dan Dare audio adventures: which seems an odd thing to do to a comic.   In all fairness?   Geoffrey McGivern plays Digby …

‡        Have fun with that one, Debbi!   Ooh, cheers for the Forbidden Planet quote: I’ve left you a reply.   Oh … I’m assuming you don’t have Britbox, is that right?   That’s possibly a shame: Spitting Image is back: and it’s going to offend someone!   (No, really: this is the uncensored trailer!)
