But Jo fell asleep while Tony was reading it!

YES, AUDIOS! Since the weeks featuring Bob are dedicated to the audios, I felt it was appropriate to ask them that - let's hope my e-mail has reached them before they recorded it so that it retains its appropriateness.

In case you want to see their schedule for their next weeks, here's what I found at their website:
1-69 (the last one) The Stones of Blood
1-70 (next Sunday) The Similarity Engine (Jago & Litefoot audio)
1-71 The Androids of Tara
1-72 Situation Vacant
1-73 The Power Of Kroll

Oh, and I've written my first draft of my Androids of Tara letter. I'll let it simmer until Sunday, in case Tony or Bob reply to my other letter with something that requires an answer from my part (you never know), or in case I feel like adding something else, but the main gist will be this:

Since my young cousins (AKA the terrible twins) have been begging me to show them some more Classic Who, and since your recent reviews have made me want to revisit the Key to Time series, I’ve decided to show them “The Androids of Tara”. Needless to say, they loved it. But then again, it’s a story with doppelgangers, princesses, castles, swordfights, silly hats and K9 - what else could two fairytale-obsessed little girls want?
Also, it was refreshing to re-watch this in their company, as their reactions would sometimes surprise me. For instance, I was expecting them to greet the Taran monster who attacks Romana in episode 1 with laughter, as they did with the Absorbaloff, but instead they screamed so loud that deaf people in China must have caught it, and literally hid behind the sofa in terror. Also, when the Doctor and his friends were trying to enter the throne room in episode 2 while the whole court waited for his arrival, they were biting their nails with the most anxious expression I have ever seen in my life - and when the Doctor was struggling to open the lock, while the other fought, one of them shouted “I can’t take this any more!” They also booed Count Grendel and gave him the thumbs-down every time he appeared onscreen, which I found funny. Cate also claimed Grendel’s wart was staring at her and that it was freaking her out; I’m still trying to work out what to say to something like that.
So, in a nutshell, this serial is yet another one that has the terrible twins’ seal of approval. They loved Tom Baker’s Doctor, they loved Romana, and they now want a K9 of their own.
I’d also like to say that they have come up with a way to describe each of the Doctors they have met so far, and always refer to them in those terms when asking me to show them something Who-related. In order of when they first discovered them:
Christopher Eccleston is the Doctor with the nice smile.
David Tennant is the cute Doctor.
Matt Smith is the Doctor who is mean to bread.
Patrick Troughton is the funny Doctor who hangs out with Skirt Boy and the pretty girls.
Paul McGann, due to them so far only seeing the regeneration scene from the TV Movie, is the Naked Doctor.
And finally, Tom Baker has now been dubbed the Crazy Doctor.

I'm really wanting to show them something of One or Three. Spearhead from Space (or, alternatively, Terror of the Autons) might be one of the next items in my list, as my father was rewatching Rose a couple of days ago and they were all "YAY AUTONS!"
Well, he WAS naked when they saw him, you know... :P
