50 something geek. Just trying to get by on this insignificant blue green planet orbiting an unremarkable yellow sun.
Really love Doctor Who, Tori Amos & random 80s/90s mostly forgotten pop culture, so be warned most of my posts will be about those

Even if you're not it's a bloody good show just watch it
On a side note, FRINGE is *well* worth your time if you haven't seen it and you're a fan of The X-Files and dystopian near-future sci-fi.

Even in 1995, The Quatermass Experiment was still a relevant cultural reference!
Though as Margaret is talking about bubbling vats of suspicious liquid I think you’ll find she meant to say Quatermass II

The 90s were a wild time. I had no idea ITV made a version of the Invisible Man with Neil Morrissey!
