I found this whilst searching around on Usenet: http://www.negia.net/~dgoggans/cxstory.html It's the "The Colonel X Writer's Guide". It's one of those fun Dr Who crossover type Web sites which take the Who timeline and changes all the names. But I think it misses the point of Colonel X. I had X down as being influenced by not only Dr Who but also the classic 70s ITC series like The Avengers and Jason King which this web site doesn't really acknowledge. It's fun, but a bit of a missed opportunity. Matt... picky as ever. -- M a t t S a u n d e r s http://www.yoyo.org/ 0973 479515 (mobile) -- 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.
