*        Hello, Mum!

†        I think I know what you mean about theatres, Olga.   I worked at the Dominion Theatre for a while: the place spent most of the 1970s as a one screen cinema.   They couldn’t do it today, I think: everyone’s heading for multiplexes.

        Either way … ?   The Barcelona one’s bigger than the New York one … ?   I’m mildly impressed: that was three floors.   Including the basement: the basement was notorious!

‡        I can imagine, Debbi!   (Oh, the revamped The Daleks airs on Thursday: although I don’t know what’s happening, in the US.)
