really enjoyed this post :) and yes - you were right indeed! (repeatedly)

also - i've never thought about this: think any of the other contenders would have gone for a slightly more adult version. I don't think anyone else would have fought for the tea-time Saturday slot and the family show aspect in the same way but it's an interesting point. obviously big finish... sort of DID do that, with things like zagreus, and sort of didn't at the same time. though big finish has never been as 'adult' and confusing as either the NAs or the EDAs.
