The crazy thing is that Alfie, who has been free to roam all his life, is completely laid back about being kept in, while Poppy, who has been a house cat before, is stir crazy! Such different temperaments - they get freaked by such different things!
And, um, yes. I shall certainly be spending a good chunk of the weekend having me a rediscovered episodes viewing party! I know it doesn't mean much to most of my flisties out there who can't stand the thought of black and white 1960s TV, but it's such a huge deal - the biggest single find in Doctor Who history. Season 5 saw seven adventures, 40 episodes in total, but at the end of the 1970s only three of those 40 episodes existed in the archives. Today, following this find, we now have 22 out of 40 episodes from season 5 - two complete serials, one missing only one episode, and one missing two episodes that have been reconstructed with animation. And it isn't just great for the fans to get to see those early adventures finally - it's so touching for the actors, as well, to have their work recovered. For Deb Watling, who played Victoria, especially - her father guest starred in Web of Fear, so how amazing must it have been for her to get to see him on screen at the press conference yesterday!
