So here we are - another day another dollar.
Actually we're in England - it's pounds, no dollars. Also this Sunday we had no Jason - BOO! So it was just us four other boys! Gathered around Mark's house - with a tea I made myself (I was really thirsty having just rushed up, having messed around in town - so I wanted to make sure it was strong enough!!). So here is the lovely transcript of that lovely day.
Lovely.
********************************************************************************************************
MJ: *David Coleman impression* "So urm, here we are at Wembley - awwww, extraordinary! Well there we go - there's my David Coleman impression." *Normal voice* "Who? Yeah."
*Chuckles*
MJ: "Erm, here we are at Mark's, just the four of us today as Jason's being a big - well - wuss! He's, err, he's errr - I'm not going to explain why!" *Leigh laughs*
MJ: "So yes we're here at Mark's to watch 'The Mind Of Evil'. We've got Leigh."
Leigh: "HELLO!"
MJ: "Mark."
Mark: "Surprisingly, being at my house!"
*Leigh laughs*
MJ: "And Shaun!"
Shaun: "I'm delighted to be here!"
MJ: "Haha! And he's going to read what the book thinks later!"
Shaun: "Yes, you'll look forward to hearing MY voice doing THAT, on our audio...visual...broadcast...thing we do."
MJ: "I did think that if I tried to make it as a audio podcast it would be really awful as the levels are SO I'd have to really go into Audacity (a program I use) and pump Mark RIGHT up - Giggerty! Hah!"
Leigh: "Plus who wants to listen to it!?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Yes, who wants to listen to it!?"
Shaun: "I'm pretty certain three people read it - and most of them are in this room!"
*Chuckles*
Shaun: "I always enjoy it!"
MJ: "And Jason does....and that's probably...." *Laughs* "...it! But, okay we're going to watch 'Mind of Evil' - six episodes, so let's crack on! Crack off...."

Leigh (with the DVD case) & Shaun.
*PART ONE GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "I don't usually stop it after the first one, but I wanted to say that THAT episode doesn't exist in colour! The original they have is completely black and white, and you know that thing they do where they can - well I've told you about the chroma-dots recovery process haven't I?"
Shaun" "Yep!"
MJ: "Well that one didn't have the chroma-dots in it, so it has been hand-coloured by this guy called Stuart Humphries - completely from scratch, every frame on the computer."
Shaun: "Wow."
MJ: "He is brilliant! He coloured some old black and white ones as well, so they got him to do this process and I thought it worked really well - it looked really good!"
Mark: "I thought that - but it really did look like they were made from Plasticine!"
MJ: *Laughs* "Plasticine! yeah."
Shaun: "It's like one of those ones where the guy started out as a fan and they pretty much hired him."
MJ: "Yeah, he does it all for himself and he decided to - "
Shaun: "- finish it off. That's quite cool."
MJ: "Yeah, just for that one, but err, yes they did get an episode of a later one - a Dalek one - re-coloured by a professional company and that cost LOTS of money! And they were like 'We can't afford to do that again! 'Cos not enough people buy them!'"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Still that was quite good and we'll talk about it after the next one - BYE!"
Photo 2: At Mark's house - Mark, Leigh (holding the hand-written sign),
& MJ (with the DVD case).
MJ: "Well that's the end of Episode Two and, erm, what's her name? I want to say Chun-Li, but I know that's wrong!!"
*Laughter*
MJ: *Reading end credits* "Ahh Fu Peng! Oh no, Chin Lee! Chin Lee, so it's quite close to Chun-Li! Erm, yes she's menaced the American delegate with a dragon!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Well the machine has made his mind - the machine is evil and it makes people see their greatest fears and the Doctor's was dying in a fire."
Shaun: "No. It was that he had watched a world burn!"
MJ: "Ahh right - and fire was quite scary. That guy obviously scared of Chinese dragons - which you would be."
Leigh: "Yes 'cos he was once bitten by one as a child."
Mark: "Yeah."
MJ: "Another guy drowned in...an empty room full of no water, because he was scared of drowning - or something."
Shaun: "Yeah."
MJ: "Well there you go! So now we know."
Shaun: "I think it was worth coming out just to hear you say" *Laughing* " 'the American delegate was menaced by a dragon'!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: *Laughing* "I didn't think my day was going to go this way, but I'm really, really please it has!
*Laughter*
MJ: "I'm enjoying this story. As I say I've never seen it so it's pretty cool. The Master 'surprisingly' made an appearance in Episode Two."
Mark: "Episode One, didn't he?"
MJ: "Was it? Okay."
Shaun: "No, no it was Episode Two."
Mark: "Oh it was Two? Okay." Shaun: "And he pulled off the rubber mask."
Mark: "It's clearly go more slowly than I thought."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Not liking this one?"
Mark: "No, no, no - I have no problems with it - I'm just hoping it requires to be six episodes - it feels like it could have been a four."
Leigh: "Well we don't know what his plan is yet."
Mark: "That is true."
Leigh: "I assume it's to steal the missile."
MJ: "Yeah."
Shaun: "And also we don't know, in what way, the box of evil is going to, somehow, betray The Master forcing him to work with The Doctor to stop his own evil plan!!"
*Laughter*
Mark: "Yeah. I assume it's how they always end."
Shaun: "My only concern with these episodes, so far, is that The Master - I wanna know what that little thing on Chin Lee's neck, behind the ear, is doing. That The Master put on her."
MJ: "I assume that's keeping her in control? Or making her do - "
Shaun: "- Yeah but the problem with that is - well, what I assumed is that it was an amplifier for the box of evil. However she used that power of Benton without that on her neck."
MJ: "Oh."
Mark: "Oh yeah."
Shaun: "So maybe they're just being inconsistent."
Mark: "No, they wouldn't be inconsistent."
Shaun: "No, not in seventies Doctor Who!"
Mark: "No in seventies Doctor Who they are nothing if not consistent!"
MJ: "Because The Master hypnotises people and he's NEVER had to have THAT device on a neck before."
Shaun: "No."
MJ: "Hmmm."
Shaun: "Which is why I assume it amplifies the power of the box of evil!"
MJ: *In a grand voice* "THE BOX OF EVIL!"
Shaun: "To extend great distances." (To Leigh) "Can I borrow your lighter? Make sure you leave that in - that's VITAL to the conversation!"
*Leigh chuckles*
MJ: (To a Ginger cat) "Hello ginger cat."
Shaun: "I'm hoping, right, you know the overly annoyingly overly-loud noise in the prison?"
MJ: "Yeah when they're all (The Prisoners) banging the prison doors or tins or whatever - "
Shaun: "I'm very hoping that the box of evil has started working like the mood-slime in 'Ghostbusters 2' - in that it is both absorbing and amplifying the anger of those around it!"
*Laughter* "And the Doctor will have to bring to life a great big Statue of Liberty or, as it's in London, other monuments. A giant Nelson's Column or something to defeat it!"
MJ: "Giant Nelson!" *Singing* "'Your love, lifting me higher!' But yes that's probably how it would be in a prison really - that noise and you have to strain to understand. From a theatrical point of view I like that - but as a viewer watching it I find it quite annoying that I can't hear what they're saying!"
Leigh: "I don't think we've missed anything vital!"
MJ: "No."
Shaun: "No."
MJ: "Just loads of Screws and Nonces - innit??!"
*Leigh laughs*
MJ: "That's what Ronnie Barker told me!"
Leigh: "He's dead now."
MJ: "Well, he's been dead a long time!"
Shaun: "Corbett's just died this week."
Leigh: "ONE of the Ronnie's died."
MJ: "Always bloody Corbett! That was a shame, I said to my wife 'Aww Robbie Corbett's dead!' and she was like 'Good, I never liked him!' "
MJ: "Well, he's been dead a long time!"
Shaun: "Corbett's just died this week."
Leigh: "ONE of the Ronnie's died."
MJ: "Always bloody Corbett! That was a shame, I said to my wife 'Aww Robbie Corbett's dead!' and she was like 'Good, I never liked him!' "
Shaun: "Wow! That's no reason to wish him dead!"
MJ: "She said 'the Two Ronnies are dying in the wrong order' - I said 'Well that kind of works with the Beatles - as somebody said that once - and there were four of them but with the Ronnies there were only two - hence the name'."
*Laughter*
Leigh: "You're still recording all this!!??"
MJ: "Yeah I am!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "This is vital!!"
Leigh: *Laughing* "It's NOT vital!"
Shaun: "Hang on we'll bring it back to Doctor Who! Ronnie Barker was in a prison, this is set in a prison, we've made lots of 'Porridge' references!"
MJ: "Yay! And lots of people in this story are going to get SLAYED (SLADE)....'cos it was Slade Prison he was in...."
Shaun: "Hang on we'll bring it back to Doctor Who! Ronnie Barker was in a prison, this is set in a prison, we've made lots of 'Porridge' references!"
MJ: "Yay! And lots of people in this story are going to get SLAYED (SLADE)....'cos it was Slade Prison he was in...."
Shaun: "Did either of the Ronnies ever appear in a Doctor Who?"
MJ: "I don't think so no - they probably did a Doctor Who spoof on their show. They did lots of things like that - and they used to black-up! Anyway I'll stop this now!"

*PART THREE GETS WATCHED*
MJ:
*Partway through a chat* "Erm the guy who played The Master ACCIDENTALLY drove off a cliff - he didn't MEAN to drive of a cliff!"
Leigh: "Well he might have killed himself!"
MJ: "Well he might have done, but no, no - he was on holiday in Portugal (actually it was Turkey!) - I don't know HOW exactly it happened exactly but erm yeah, yeah..."
Shaun: "You mean you weren't there!!??"
MJ: "I wasn't there, I wasn't driving!"
Shaun: "That's one suspect off our list!"
Shaun: "Was it?"Leigh: "Well he might have killed himself!"
MJ: "Well he might have done, but no, no - he was on holiday in Portugal (actually it was Turkey!) - I don't know HOW exactly it happened exactly but erm yeah, yeah..."
Shaun: "You mean you weren't there!!??"
MJ: "I wasn't there, I wasn't driving!"
Shaun: "That's one suspect off our list!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "I really thought this Doctor Who club was finally going to get him to implicate himself!!"
MJ: "Yes, sadly it was before I was born, so..."
*Laughter*
*Laughter*
MJ: "I think this (episode) is around '72/'73?" *checks DVD cover* "Ahh '71! And he died a couple of years later so it would have been around '72/'73 - ish (I've looked after this and he died on 18th June 1973). Anyway that was good. The Master's in charge of prison - taken over. Blah, blah, blah. Episode Four..."
*Leigh Laughs*
Leigh: "Was that worth it!!?"
MJ: "Not really. We'll chat after Episode Four. Chat.... WHO-CHAT!!"
*PART FOUR GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "So that was the same cliff-hanger with the machine - "
Shaun: "- Yup! Three out of four episodes: same cliff-hanger!"
*Chuckles*
MJ: "We also had another gun fight - where Mike Yates got shot in the hand and fell off a motorbike."
Leigh: "Fell off a motorbike and drove into some conveniently piled pallets!"
*Laughter*
Mark: "Why were the pallets there handy?"
Leigh: "Oh that's because in the prison the prisoners all get delivered on pallets!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I did like that."
Mark: "How else do you deliver a prisoner?"
Leigh: "Well, I know!"
Mark: "Stack 'em. Put them on pallets."
*Leigh Laughs*
MJ: *In style of Tobias Vaughn (From the serial 'The Invasion' saying 'Packer'* "Stack 'em!"
*Mark chuckles*
MJ: "Yes and we had, erm, a nice presentation, on a slide, of a missile."
Leigh: "Which seems to keep changing size!"
MJ: *Laughs* "As I said, THAT photo was far away and the one in real life was NEAR! Or the other way around!" *Laughter* "Logic has escaped me at the moment!" *Laughter* "The Master seems to have disappeared."
Shaun: "The Master? No he went off in the car."
Mark: "Yeah."
Leigh: "To pick up the missile."
Shaun: "Yeah."
Mark: "Yeah."
Leigh: "Which will be as big as a house by the time he arrives!"
Shaun: "After the first one - the 'Terror Of The Autons'."
MJ: "Oh yeah."
Shaun: "The Doctor and The Master have - well the ACTORS - have clearly got into quite a nice routine with each other."
MJ: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Doing the whole Bond-villain thing. Their chemistry is very good."
MJ: "Mmmm"
Shaun: "And Jo is significantly better than she was in 'Terror Of The Autons'."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "She was, like, distractingly terrible at acting in that! In this one she's fine - like another assistant. And quite handy with a gun."
MJ: "Yeah."
Mark: "Yeah."
Leigh: "Although she does keep getting captured."
Shaun: "Well yeah, but she's a Doctor Who assistant! I mean..."
Mark: "That's what they're there for."
*Chuckles*
MJ: "That IS what they're there for. And what Mark's here for is TEA!!!"
Mark: "Alright, okay, I'll get you tea!"
Leigh: "Subtle MJ, well done!"
MJ: "Well they do call me 'MJ Fouldes'...." *Laughter* "I would say they call me 'Subtle' - but that don't! That's ridiculous - that's not a name!
*Laughter*
*BREAK-IN RECORDING*
Shaun: *Partway through chat* "- The Master doesn't have an Agent under his influence at this conference anymore - so he's just going to bomb it with the missile of nerve gas, so..."
MJ: "Yes."
Shaun: "But I guess it's unimportant to remain focused on it."
MJ: *For you at home* "Leigh's just pointed out that they've forgotten about the Peace Conference."
Leigh: "But if they're going to blow-up the Peace Conference, why did you need an Agent there in the first place??"
Shaun: "Who?"
Leigh: "The Master!"
Shaun: "Well, he has plans within plans!"
Leigh: "Yeah but he didn't need ANY of that to happen! He just needed to bug UNIT HQ - which he did."
Shaun: "Yeah?"
Leigh: "Find out when the missile was being transported."
Shaun: "Mmm?"
Leigh: "Get the prison all under his control so he could use the prisoners to hijack the missile."
Shaun: "Yeah."
Leigh: "There is no need for ANY of the shenanigans that happened in the Peace Conference that happened."
MJ: "He does like lots of extraneous fannying around though! That's what he does!"
Shaun: "Yeah!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "He's probably got a third and a fourth plan - all of which be rendered moot when he has to turn on the creature - with the help of The Doctor!"
MJ: "He just likes plans! He doesn't care what the Hell the outcome!"
Shaun: "You can only destroy the Earth once! So you may as well put ALL your plans into motion at the same time and hope that one of them succeeds!"
Leigh: "But why does he even WANT to destroy the Earth?!"
Shaun: "'Cos he hates the Doctor!"
MJ: "And the Doctor likes the Earth!"
Leigh: "Why doesn't he just destroy the Doctor??!"
MJ: "It'll hurt the Doctor MORE to destroy something that he loves!"
Leigh: "What, MORE than dying!!?"
MJ: "Yeah, well then he won't see his - "
Shaun: "- He knows The Doctor will just pop back up anyway! So..." *Puts on voice* " 'Hello! Another regeneration!' "
MJ: "It's more pleasurable for The Master to see The Doctor alive and in distress, than it is to kill him."
Shaun: "He's already said he's going to kill The Doctor after forcing him to use the machine to bring about the end of the world."
MJ: "Mmmm."
Leigh: "Stupid."
MJ: "Well yes... So there."
Leigh: Just put him in an oven!"
MJ: Just put him in an oven?!"
Leigh: "'Cos then, when he regenerates, he's still in an oven, that's oven-temperature, and that will just kill him again!"
MJ: "Isn't that in a kids did in a nursery rhyme, to a witch?"
Shaun: "No you're thinking of the Nazi's - that's what the Nazi's did."
*Laughter*
Mark: "Yeah but it's the FINAL solution to Doctor Who."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "The Doctor can't go out like a punk - except in that REALLY stupid, f**king, Sylvester McCoy and, erm, what's his name? 'The TV Movie'."
MJ: "Paul McGann, yeah."
Shaun: "Where he just gets shot by random street thugs!"
MJ: "Yeah."
Mark: *Pained* "Ohhh yeah - I forgot about that."
Shaun: "Yeah, that is how Sylvester McCoy's Doctor dies."
Mark: "That's terrible."
MJ: "I don't know what any of this is! It sounds like the FUTURE!!"
Shaun: "Okay well we'll look forward to that! It is awful and Eric Roberts is the bad guy - as The Master in it - and he, err, chews more scenery than the average Bill Shatner episode of 'Star Trek'!"
MJ: "He is AWESOME! He's panto villain to the extreme!" *Laughs*
Mark: "Eric Roberts is the seal of quality for ANY production!"
Shaun: "The entire thing is like the camp house from 'Hansel And Gretel'
MJ: "Actually this month's Doctor Who Magazine is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of 'The TV Movie' so they've got interviews with them all. I haven't read the Eric Roberts interview yet - I'm looking forward to that. Julia Roberts brother - lest we forget!"
*Chuckles*
MJ: "I'll pause it there."

*Laughter*
MJ: " 'The NAZI Mind of Evil'."
Shaun: "Yeah it is the kind of thing of: why not just pitch him into space? 'Cos he can't breathe in space, so he would die."
Mark: "Or just chain him up and chuck him in a river."
Shaun: "Yeah it is the kind of thing of: why not just pitch him into space? 'Cos he can't breathe in space, so he would die."
Mark: "Or just chain him up and chuck him in a river."
Leigh: "That's similar to my oven idea."
Mark: "Yeah."
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "And the space one."
Mark: "And the space one. So look you've got three options right there!"
Leigh: "Yeah.... Stupid Master."
*Mark Laughs*
MJ: "But he does it SO suavely!"Shaun: "The Doctor can't go out like a punk - except in that REALLY stupid, f**king, Sylvester McCoy and, erm, what's his name? 'The TV Movie'."

Photo 4: At Mark's house - Leigh (holding the hand-written sign)
& MJ (with the DVD case).
*Laughter*
MJ: "Cliff-hanger: The Doctor's just been shot! At point-blank range, pretty much! And UNIT have broke into the prison and...SHOT people!!?" *Laughter* "Have actually SHOT and KILLED people!"
Shaun: "They've been effective!"
MJ: "They've been efficient AND effective!"
Shaun: "I believe three UNIT soldiers died which is, probably, the smallest body-count for UNIT that we've ever seen!" *Leigh laughs* "BUT we're still not at the final episode so..."
MJ: "No the final episode is coming."
Mark: "They actually shot people too?!"
MJ: "Yes that's what we said - yes!"
Shaun: "Yeah they killed a load of people!"
Mark: "They've had some training in between."
MJ: "As Leigh often says: 'Totes amazeballs'."
Leigh: *Laughing* "I DO often say that!"
MJ: "He's renowned for saying that!" *Laughs* "SHAT-AAAPP! SO Part - "
Leigh: *Laughing* "What's THAT?? 'Shat-aaapp!' "
MJ: *Laughing* "I think it's from one of those advert for 'The Only Way Is Essex' - they had somebody on there who they'd just put the camera on and he said 'Shat-aaapp!' It's probably that Joey Essex - which is the kangaroo."
Leigh: *Laughing* "The little baby kangaroo?!"
MJ: "Yup the little baby kangaroo! EPISODE SIX - DA-DA-DA-DAAAA!"
Leigh: "SHAT-AAAPP!!!"
*Laughter*
*PART SIX GETS WATCHED*
MJ: *Singing* " 'Doctor Whooooooo!' " *Normal voice* "Well that was the end - Yayyyyyy! 'Mind of Evil'. The machine got destroyed by a simpleton being near it." *Leigh chuckles* "It kind of cancelled out the evil with the simpleness and then The Master got away! He got his time circuit back and he's off to travel and we'll NEVER see him again! He's gone off the planet - that's it! Hah! So did you enjoy it?"
Leigh: "It was alright!?"
Shaun: "I liked that one a lot!"
MJ: "Yes, that was fun - did, erm, I've forgotten what happened to the Chinese lady? Did she get killed?"
Leigh: "No she just went back to China."
Shaun: "Yeah, she went to U.N.I.T. and they exonerated her, 'cos she didn't really do anything wrong."
MJ: "Oh!" *Noticing that extra credits have come up AFTER the main credits - mentioning Stuart Humprhyes aka BabelColour who had hand coloured Episode One* "Oh I see!" *Laughs*
Leigh: "Oh."
MJ: *Laughing* "I thought there was an extra bit! Ahh yes, as I said before, it was completely black and white - the first episode - and hand-coloured by this guy who's a genius at doing that sort of thing. You can see some of his stuff on Youtube. Some coloured clips of old black and white episodes. Yes, so, that was alright! Fine - what did you think Jason?" *Does impression of Jason* "Wack-wack-wack-wack-wack!" *Normal voice* "Oh is that right?" *Does impression of Jason* "Yeah."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Why is Jason The Penguin!!?" (from the 1960's Batman series)
MJ: "That's how I've ALWAYS done his impression!" *Laughing* "I don't know why!!"
Leigh: "So what does the book say then?"
Shaun: "We need to do scores first."
MJ: "Oh yeah - I suppose, suppose...erm....I probably....think, erm.... six from me?"
Shaun: "That's low from you?"
MJ: "Mmmm."
Leigh: "I'd agree with six."
Mark: "Five. I'll probably forget this one exists."
Shaun: "I'm disagreeing with you all and I'm going to give it an, err, eight point seven three two - I really, really liked that one!"
MJ: "Ahhh, excellent! Yeah, no, erm, I suppose because it was a bit longer maybe....well it wasn't really! It was six but... no no I thought it was good."
Shaun: "It didn't feel like the normal six parter with an episode or two tagged into it."
MJ: "Nah. I think it's the most unusual one I've seen - maybe 'cos it's mostly set in a prison and stuff. That was quite... did they go back to UNIT headquarters or not? I don't seem to recall they did?"
Shaun: "No. They were opposite the Peace Conference and then they had the mobile thing."
MJ: "Oh yeah. Pretty much there in the prison - with that simple guy!"
Shaun: "UNIT proved to be very competent."
MJ: "They did!! They SHOT people! AND killed them!"
Shaun: "Yet they still did take the wrong place. They didn't actually get the missile they thought they were getting by everything they did."
MJ: "No."
Mark: "That was another reason it was average because UNIT actually did something useful." *Laughter* "I don't want that in my UNIT."
MJ: "No, we don't want them to be competent!" *Laughing* "Damn them! So that's what WE think, but what does The Book think? How many Master costumes were made!!??"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Hold on, where does Jason usually start from? Oh yeah!" *Reading* " 'Observations: Extensive use was made of Dover Castle, Kent, to represent Stanmore Prison, with members of the production team padding out Episode Five's big fight sequence'."
MJ: "Oh!?"
Shaun: *Reading* " 'London scenes were filmed in Kensington and the Ministry Of Defence supplied a genuine Bloodhound Missile.' "
Mark: "Wow."
MJ: "Oh!"Shaun: *Reading* " 'Verdict:' - Oh God!" *Laughs* "I've just given this a high score and the first thing it says is: 'Unrelentingly grim!' "
*Laughter*
MJ: "It WAS grim!"
Shaun: *Reading* " 'A little repetitious, this throwback to Season Seven's hard-edged narrative style has many effective moments and The Master excels as a Mafia-style boss. Eight out of ten!' "MJ: "Ohhh! Yes."
Mark: "Well you agreed with the score though, Shaun."
Shaun: "Yeah - given my weird point system - I don't want to give round numbers!"
*Mark chuckles*
Shaun: "The next is called 'The Claws Of Axos' - a four parter."
MJ: "That's right - I do have that one."
Shaun: "So was this ("The Mind Of Evil") the one you was waiting to show up - you had to buy it?"
MJ: "Yes! I bought it especially for this - I have 'The Claws Of Axos' and probably the next one? Which will be called..."
MJ: "Yes! I bought it especially for this - I have 'The Claws Of Axos' and probably the next one? Which will be called..."
Shaun: "Claws of Axos 2 - Electric Boogaloo??"
MJ: "Oh no I don't have the next one."
Leigh: "Axos of Evil?!"
Leigh: "Axos of Evil?!"
MJ: " 'Colony In Space' then 'The Dæmons'."
Shaun: *Laughing* "It's called 'Dispatch War Rocket Axos - To Bring Back his Body'!!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I don't know if I already said before, but the, err, it was nice to see a Chinese person played by an Asian person - as opposed to a white person made-up to look Chinese! But yes she was very good."
Shaun: "She's NOT 'very good'!! She's very attractive! She had nice legs, a nice face and a nice Chinese military uniform that always does it for me!" *Laughing*
MJ: "I seem to think the actress as an old woman was in some quite well known comedy in the 90's or 2000's - something like 'Hot Fuzz' or something like that. I could be completely wrong and you'll go 'No!' "
Shaun: "Well let's look it up!" *check on his internet phone*
MJ: "You'll probably find out it's the Mr. Bean movie or something like that - or 'Johnny English'. Her name was Pik-Sen Lim."
Shaun: "Oooo! She was in 'Dark Souls'! That's pretty cool!"
Mark: "Was she?"
Shaun: "Yep! She's a Malaysian-Chinese British actress."
Mark: "She was also in 'Mind Your Language' so was that the comedy you were thinking of!?"
Shaun: "Oooo! She was in 'Dark Souls'! That's pretty cool!"
Mark: "Was she?"
Shaun: "Yep! She's a Malaysian-Chinese British actress."
Mark: "She was also in 'Mind Your Language' so was that the comedy you were thinking of!?"
Shaun: "Yeah she was in 'Johnny English Reborn'!!"
MJ: "Ahhh there you go! I thought I'd seen something like that!"
Shaun: "Hang on let's see if there's anything else fantastic she been in... 'Doctor Who'...."
Mark: " 'Psychoville'..."
MJ: "Oh was she??! I liked 'Psychoville'!"
MJ: "Oh was she??! I liked 'Psychoville'!"
Shaun: "She was in 'The News Avengers'..... once. She was in 'Cracker'! 'Cracker' is good!"
MJ: "Mmm."
Shaun: "That ties to the Doctor as well as Christopher Eccleston was in that as well!"
MJ: "Ahh right! I thought you meant Robbie Coltrane played The Master!!"
*Leigh sniggers*
Shaun: "She was in 'Little Britain'... 'The Bill' - 'cos everyone's been in 'The Bill'! 'Casualty' -"
MJ: "Hah! 'Cos everyone's been in..."
Mark: "She was in 'Cracker'!"
MJ: "Yeah, Shaun just said that!"
Mark: "Oh.."
MJ: "AND she was in 'Cracker'!!"
*Laughter*
Mark: "Oh.."
MJ: "AND she was in 'Cracker'!!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Her most recent work was Roald Dahl's 'Esio Trot'."
MJ: "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah."
Shaun: "Never heard of it."
Mark: "It was a while back..."
MJ: "It was 'Tortoise' backwards..."
Leigh: "I also believe she was in 'Cracker'!"
Leigh: "I also believe she was in 'Cracker'!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "They cross 'Casualty' and 'Holby City' all the time!!"
Shaun: "I know! They can't even bother to set it in a different f**king hospital! It's pathetic."
MJ: "It's different department - different dramas! Oooo! Like there was someone the other day who said 'I'll just go up this ladder - I'll be fine...' And guess what? He wasn't! Fell off a ladder..."
Mark: "Did he fall into casualty?"
MJ: "Hah! Anyway I think that's pretty much it! Not much more I can say about this!"
Mark: "She was in 'Cracker'!"
*Laughter*
*Laughter*
Shaun: "I would if she still looked like that!! Oh you said 'GOOD on her' - not 'Get on her'!!!"
*Sniggers*
MJ: "I'm going to watch this DVD later on my computer as I can see the 1971 Kellogg's Sugar Smacks Promotion!!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Well why didn't we watch that!!??"
MJ: "Well you need the DVD-ROM for that! You need to put it on your computer - ooo AND you can see the Radio Times listing! Which will be a little scan of that! So, some exciting stuff there!"
*Long pause*
Shaun: "Yes!"
MJ: "I guess the Kellogg's Sugar Smacks thing will be those promotional cards you get in the packets."
Shaun: "Hold on, hold on! I'm moving forward to LITERALLY be on the edge of my seat!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Well, there we go. No Jason today but we got a cat instead. What do you think cat? Yes. For the benefit of the viewers at home - the Listeners at home - "
Shaun: *Laughing* " 'Listeners!!??"
MJ: "- The cat sniffed the camera-phone..... Bye."
*Laughter*
MJ: "Ooo did we mention about The Master disappearing? He got his Time Circuit back - I can't remember if I said that?"
Shaun: "I don't know."
Shaun: "I don't know."
MJ: "No, well he got away and we'll NEVER see him again! Ever!"
Shaun: "Turn the recorder back on and say it!"
MJ: "I already have done!"
MJ: "I already have done!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Of course you have!!"
MJ: "So yes, The Master will never be back....UNTIL THE NEXT TIME!!!"
MJ: "So yes, The Master will never be back....UNTIL THE NEXT TIME!!!"
Shaun: "I look forward to the ultimate one of The Master teaming up with something more powerful that slowly turns on him - and it be The Daleks!! @cos that's basically something you can do in Doctor Who."
MJ: "I wonder if that will happen..."
Mark: "Yeah."
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Yeah."
MJ: "Anyway time to pose with the hand-written sign I wrote today...."
Photo 5: At Mark's house - Mark (holding the hand-written sign).
So that was that! We've since met after this one! I'm a little behind! So I'd better hurry up!
So our scores again were:
Leigh: 6
Mark: 5
Shaun: 8.732
MJ: 6
Which means average scores for this one were 6.433 out of 10!
Well that as they say is that - thanks for reading all three of you! Until we see those Axons I'll tell you that I shall return, yes I shall return...
