War Time is...interesting... We watched it as part of one of those, ahem, perfectly legal, ahem, DbyA "DW Live" sessions, otherwise I'm sure I never would have bothered, but well, now I can say I've seen it. The thing about it is, Benton has always struck me as pretty much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get sort of character, therefore the least likely UNIT type to have a dark and troubled past that needed exploring in the medium of semi-pro fan video... Still, on the plus side John Levene turns in a truly bizarre and deeply amusing performance, and his dead dad is played by Michael "Davros and that bloke out of Terror of the Autons" Wisher. So that's nice.
Yeah, similes and metaphors - I used to know which was which buy now I get them mixed up! That Wodehouse thing...I don't know, I was like in the zone or something when I wrote that, mostly in one sitting too. I don't know if I could do it (or attempt it!) again. A lot of the dialogue there though is based on things I remembered from watching Jeeves and Wooster repeats on ITV3, so I'm not going to go around bragging or anything! :D
And if Nat found out I'm sure he'd be terribly...British...about it. Or maybe not; he might be okay with the idea. Or not.
Aw well, I hope things do improve for you in the long run and that all the nonsense isn't too painful in the meantime. And yes, I expect to see more wolf-action soon! :D
