So, there I am, just returned from another day at the Chalk Face, feeling worn out and tired after another struggle with sense and sensibility, when I look outside to my garden. Lo and behold, without any warning or so much as a bye your leave, the Beeb have gone and plonked some of their lighting kit in my garden. They're filming an episode from a new drama called "Torchwood." It's an offshoot from Dr. Who.
Now, if I'd only known, forty odd years ago that the Dr. Who guys would be setting up their kit in my garden, I would have skyrocketed up the coolometer in my classroom.
Apparently they were trying to create a different sort of atmosphere in the pub next door. Well, it'll take more than a light to do that, believe me. So I get a bit stroppy with them and tell them where to put their light, but then thought the better of it. You can't mess with the Time Lords after all.
