  • Been a while since I've had time to listen to podcasts! :-) (Often easiest to do it in bulk.)

    Regarding the thing about it being 21 years since the Doctor Who Fan Club had Nicholas Courtney as its first international guest, I just want to say ... I WAS THERE!! ... That was the original Whovention in Sydney, to which I came in a home-made Davros costume (it had liquorice allsorts for the buttons). Wow, if it's really been 21 years, then I must have been 12 at the time.

    Also, re ear candling, ponder the following lyrics from the song "Jump through the Fire" by Oysterband. (I don't mean this as a recommendation, because this particular song sucks, although many of their other songs are excellent.) "Don't say yes the first time / Don't lay down for lies / Don't let anyone put out / The fire in your eyes." Now, I don't know about you, but whenever I hear about ear candling, I sing to myself, "Don't let anyone put in / The fire in your ears...." :-)
