I recorded the first movie to a DVD but because of the differences in region in our countries I can't make you a copy. :( And it's been years since I last watched Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (yes, it's desert and not jungle :P), but I remember Bernadette being pretty awesome. I posted the picture in my own account here, if it helps - Bernadette is the one in white.
And if you want another movie rec featuring Terence Stamp, back in the sixties a movie about a female version of James Bond called Modesty Blaise was made. I grew up reading her comics, so I was curious about the movie, and I quite liked it as she was very glamourous and a bit on the mod side - but the best part was that a very young and boyish looking Terence Stamp played her plucky sidekick Willie, and they looked like this. (He also looked like this if you want to enjoy a bit of eyecandy!Terence.)

Yes indeedy.
That's how our brains work, I guess.

I've always liked the hippie look. Low maintenance, I guess.

I'm scared...

(YES! I rather liked Tess. She was a nice surprise, since she's not in the comics - she's probably the only Smallville-only character, though I don't remember Chloe from the comics either. I like it that she's able to hold her own with Zod, and that she's able to carry on with the Luthor legacy on her own.)

Let me show you it, then:

Dear Tony, Jo! and Bob,

Greetings from Portugal! I discovered your podcast after hearing Jo at the Goodies Podcast, decided to listen to a few episodes, and pretty soon I was hooked. I'm allowed to listen to my trusty mp3 player at work, thank heavens, as it helps me stave off boredom and retain my sanity (if you knew my co-workers, you'd understand), and since September was a rather tough month the Flashing Blade was a lot of help - so thank you!

Anyway, Tony has asked people to share their first memories of Doctor Who. I was already in my early twenties when I discovered it; as far as I know the classic series never aired in Portugal, although I recently went to a library and discovered a few novelizations that were published in 1983.
In the late '90s, my family finally got cable television, and I began watching BBC Prime. One day, I switched on the TV, and I saw a girl running down a corridor accompanied by a robot dog. I would later learn that those were the second Romana and K9, but at the time I had no idea of what was going on, or what it was that I was watching. For the next few months, this situation would be repeated: I'd switch channels, and find it was halfway through an episode. Then one day, the scene I spotted featured two girls I didn't know talking to a blond guy and calling him "Doctor", which made me stop and go "hang on, what's going on?" Once they mentioned something about the regeneration failing (as this was from Castrovalva) I put two and two together. Although intrigued, it took me months to find Doctor Who again, but eventually I managed not only to watch a complete episode from start to finish, but to watch a complete serial: Arc of Infinity. As you can imagine, the plot confused me immensely, as it required knowledge of the show's history, and said knowledge was something I was seriously lacking. However, rather than giving up watching, I decided to check the internet and do some research on the backstory of Doctor Who up to that point. It helped that, at the time, I was completely obsessed with the Goodies and had just watched an episode featuring Jon Pertwee as a mad Welsh vicar in a Snape wig. After learning that Pertwee had played the Doctor, I decided that it was worth to investigate further on, as I was very curious to know how that screechy-voiced madman could have ever played the Doctor.
