As I mentioned the other day, I haven't watched my tapes in quite a while, but from memory, that'd have to be my bet for an intro story.

The same went with "At Last A Dragon" and "Page One" - the "I'll kill a Dragon for you" line, I mean, although I had at least suspected that that was real old footage. > >A couple of other things, while I think of them (didn't I mention something about getting some sleep tonight?). >1) Steven Moffats mention of the corridor scene in Breakfast At Csars as being a last minute add-on. There was always something about the scene which made me think it was shot later, although I couldn't think why it would be. I'm pretty sure I'd noticed Lynda's hair - maybe not that it was a different length, but I definitely thought she'd showered/had her hair done/seen a few days(if this last one, then preferably the first two as weell:)) since the scene before it. Also (and I may be misremembering here). It all seemed a bit too quiet to be just next to the hive of activity which the newsroom was that night - PG is usually pretty good with the "shuffling papers, murmurs in the background, let's look like we're working" thing, as Kenny put it. > >2) (Let me see, two....aha!) <<<WARNING SOME BASTARD IS ABOUT TO MAKE AN OFF_TOPIC REFERENCE TO SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO MAYBE ONLY ONE OR TWO PEOPLE>>> > Sorry about another reference to Race around the world, but I had to mention that a) I've finally seen the "Football is My religion" piece, and it's great. b) It sucks that John Safran's back-up doco wasn't used when his banned one was unusable (then again, maybe he hadn't done one - I know a few guys didn't - but it's a shame that he now _can't_ win the Race) ><<<SORRY EVERYONE>>> > >Anyway, can't keep complaining about lack of sleep if I don't take advantage of my night off of study, so I'd better go sleep so that I'll have something to complain about. :) > >NIghty-night, >Murray > > ********************************************************************** *Visit my web page http://www.omen.net.au/~muzza/ (Go on - I dare ya)* ********************************************************************** * Murray Head - muzza@omen.net.au * *Also at: muzza@tartarus.uwa.edu.au(Uni of Western Australia) * * mhead@anhb.uwa.edu.au (Dept of Anatomy and Human Biology) * ********************************************************************** -- T H E P R E S S G A N G M A I L I N G L I S T By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not to the author of the message you're replying to.
