This is where I'm very thankful for the abundance of classic Doctor Who episodes, because after I psych myself up to watch End of Days (can't bring myself to do it just yet - Chibnall so close after Tregenna just ain't right) I'll have nothing new in this universe till either March/April, or whenever they start releasing Sarah Jane Adventures, whichever comes first. Hopefully, they'll be smart and give us SJA soon, so as to not have a great big gap.

Michael Grade ... I'd hit Wikipedia, as it's kind of complicated. As I understand it, it has to do with the series' shabby treatment imminent cancellation (which is what the episode is ACTUALLY about).

Sophie likes to hang out with the fans after a convention. Since DW she's mostly done kids' television, though she still participates in the fandom; she's posed for the covers of a couple of the novels, read some audio books, and published her own photobook of series memories that's well worth it if you can find it.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency -- the villain's goal is the same as Scaroth's, to travel back in time to prevent the same thing from happening. The Professor is actually the Doctor, complete with the "broken telephone" that allows him to travel in time. Of course, the most brilliant part of Dirk Gently was the Coleridge and Bach material, which obviously didn't appear in "City of Death," and the best bits of "City of Death" (the yuppie art thieves, the villain in timelost shards) didn't appear in Dirk Gently. ^_^

Ah, Wikipedia. Wikipedia's my shiny friend. And thanks! GSinG will make much more sense now.

Sophie sounds absolutely lovely! Now I really want to meet her.

Must re-read Dirk Gently's, now that I've seen the episodes. I know. Such a chore, re-reading good books. ^_^

*bows* I am glad to be of assistance, milady.

Oh, me too ... yes ... *kinda gets distracted*

*smiles* It's fascinating to look at all the things Adams wrote and find the common links ... there's a coherent philosophy there, and one I should find the time to write a paper on.

If you ever do write that paper, alert me, please, as it's bound to be fascinating.
