Put them all in a book, possibly several books?

Also, carve out a few weeks in your schedule for a month after the pub date of the 1st volume, to deal with possible hate mail/death threats if you get the tiniest detail wrong. If you accidentally omit an entire outfit - leave the country.

Or how much it would cost to get the packaging proofread - apparently there are six vehicles to celebrate six classic shows, despite two of them coming from Dad’s Army.

I’m sure there’s a joke in there about a ‘cox’ but you won’t hear it from me.

I don’t remember that episode of Steptoe where Harold’s ghost takes the horse and cart out on his rounds. Was there a later sequel that I’m not aware of?

He’s 83, so he’s looking a hell of a lot younger than I’d imagined.

When my sister’s kids were little they had two identical goldfish. They named one of the goldfish ‘Goldilocks’ and the other one ‘The Three Bears’.

A year later one of the goldfish died and my sister, despite the two fish being identical, was 100% sure that the dead fish was The Three Bears.

Envious - love Whitby but I’ve never been in Autumn, and it very much feels like a place you should see in the Autumn.

The Third Doctor meets the Three Musketeers. You’ll never guess who Cardinal Richelieu really is when he takes off his disguise.

I’ve just realised that was pretty much 15 years ago. How is that possible?

A lot of people think that caucus is a grain, but really it’s basically just tiny pasta.
