I love history. I seek accuracy in what I do. I believe in primary sources for information, supported by secondary sources, backed up by tertiary (and more) sources..

I was a Whovian before you were born, and remember the Doctor's granddaughter even though many of the current generation of fans have never heard of her and think the Doctor's clone is (his) only child. I was also a Trekkie aeons before the word was coined.

I love Time Team (and other associated (spin-off) shows), and thoroughly enjoy Tony Robinson's videos, even when I disagree with the subject matter, or his given stance on it. I think Phil Harding is a hoot, and believe that Francis Pryor is an intense, caring person, whose love of history is clearly obvious in what he does.

One of my favourite non-English shows has to be Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye, followed by Murdoch Mysteries, Taggart (and if you think Scotland is English, think again!), and Crossing Jordan. For a really decent English show, try Rosemary and Thyme, with Pam Ferris.

I firmly believe Americans speak American, not English, and that there is no such thing as a "British accent". Given that the Scots have a Scottish accent, and the Welsh have a Welsh accent, and that there are more English accents (and dialects) than I have had eggs for breakfast, it is impossible to state that any one of those is the "British accent".

The Koala is not a bear, and I am prone to think less of people who keep saying "koala bear". However, I am likely to tell you that the Drop Bear is a real creature living in the hinterlands of coastal Australia, hanging around in trees just waiting to drop down on your head.

I hope all my friends and loved ones remain safe and well, even those who annoy me. :-)
