Re: The NEW, "What's that in your eyeballs?" thread. Part 11

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Now to see what's on the telly tonight.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

In Voyager, the Holodoctor is forced to take possession of 7-of-9's body, and experiences human sensation for the first time.

After that, in The Time Tunnel, the duo meet Robin Hood, just as he's about to force the King to sign the Magna Carta.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Robin Hood led the Peasants' Revolt?

[cosmictanya]

Expect that to be incorporated into some people's historical knowledge. The other day I saw someone arguing online that the government had no right to keep us in our homes because the Magna Carta, as devised by King Arthur and Merlin, forbade it.

Something something did she die in vain?

Robin Hood led the Peasants' Revolt?

Wat?

Why do people on television programmes always find things they aren't meant to in kitchen bins? Am I unusual in not examining the contents when I put a teabag or whatever in a bin?

New Red Dwarf episode on Dave at 9 tonight

[cosmictanya]

The Countess and the Russian Billionaire on BBC2. I can't see anything to envy, the likelihood of being horribly murdered must be very high. 

I used to have my sons hair highlighted like her very sweet children have. She has lovely nourished skin. "Number three on the Kremlin hitlist".

I do know a couple of ex Soviet tarts. I've always kept them at arms length I have to admit - all rather frightening. One literally lights one cigarette off the end of another and never stops. I've heard it said she began by trawling for business around the backstreets of Minsk. 

I always liked "Pretty Woman".

As a confirmed fan of the moonlight flit myself, I can't help feeling that allowing the BBC to film you doing a runner from the UK authorities, with your three children and your prescription pills, to the chateau of your armed (and wanted by the Kremlin) and violent husband, is probably not the move of a wise woman. 

I predict trouble from the RBKC social services on top of all her many other problems. Her 'worst fear is having no money' - she says, after we've been told by the narrator that Russian gangsters have threatened to cut her children's fingers off, and the Russian state has spies dressed as workmen in her street day and night.

[cosmictanya]

I don't dislike her at all. I expected to despise her when the programme began. Something of myself, if my more reckless traits were given free reign along with her stunning lack of streetwise instinct. 

Shades of Diana in a minefield as she jumped out of a car in Kyrzgystan at the end there. White shirt, tight sand coloured jeans, gold buckle belt and sunglasses - a timeless combination I also favour for casual travel. 

Highly recommend - 9/10.
