I have never seen "Shouldn't I Be Taller" and from what I have heard from my
cousin and this list, the whole thing seems a bit weird. All I know is that
some guy (The guy that was in "There Are Crocodiles") blackmailed Lynda to
let him be on the writing team, she told him to get lost and she shot
himself. Lynda then leaves the paper. I know that I don't know all the
details but it does seem a bit strange that she would leave the Gazette,
squabbling over who the new editor will be. I am surprised that Lynda is
willing to admit that she really can be weak enough to quit just because she
is upset even though she puts the Gazette before her own feelings in the
end. The fact that the Junior Gazette went downhill after she let her
emotions get the better of her is another indicator of why she would show so
little emotion when the Donald (I think it was Donald) guy commits suicide
and whats-his-name died. Mind you, Lynda's reaction to Donald's death was
very nobel considering what he did to the staff and he refused to take her
instead of Spike.
Just a little point of no relevance is that Lynda promised Donald to get him
out of the newsroom in with his reputation in tact if he did not harm anyone
in the room. In actual fact he did harm someone in the room - himself so if
Lynda had not wanted to save his parents the agony of knowing what he had
done, she did not need to keep her promise.

Another point that is totally off the topic: I was thinking that as there
are so many Press Gang fans in Australia, if we were to have a convention it
would be good if we could persuade one of the actors of even Steven Moffat
to come to Australia to present it. We could all put some money together to
pay for a plane fare or we could have an auction of Press Gang sort of
things. This may sound stupid but it is just an idea.
