hildy89I tried valiantly, but I couldn't feign interest in "Green Death", Jo Grant's last appearance as the Doctor's companion. However, I adored Sarah Jane's first appearance in "Time Warrior", but maybe that's the mediaevalist/history buff in me showing up. The episode felt strangely like the Doctor and villain had dropped in a version of Robin Hood, complete with evil overlord and archer. Sarah Jane was a nice sensible change from Jo's shriekiness. I did get a little amused with the scientist Rubeish using the Tardis for a blackboard. I half expected him to write "Bad Wolf".
Hopefully I can wipe off most of remainder of stuff off the dvr. I really wish History International would rerun "Bomber Crew" already. I'm still missing the first episode!
Speaking of WWII, WENN fans might be interested in the posthumously published "The American Home Front" by Alistair Cooke. Shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he drove around the United States, trying to find out first hand how the country was reacting and coping with the war. After the war, his then-publisher decided no one wanted to relive the war again, so opted to shelve, until someone unearthed the book again.
