Hiya BB

I've added the new A-number to the banner on all the other Doctor Who Enemies entries. You have named it "Sil" rather than "Sil and the Mentors" - do you want me to change that?

I have also added a banner to "Time Lords" - these were on some "Enemies" but not others and the Time Lords entry had no banner at all.

still doing the normal subbing

>>His captivating performance is despite his costume, which was rushed shortly 'Vengeance on Varos' began; consequently in some scenes his headpiece falls down almost over his eyes.<<

I don't think that makes sense - can you reword it to make it clearer? Was his costume rushed because he wasn't the original choice for actor? Or something else?

>>wishes to depose of the governor of Varos<<

do you mean "wishes to dispose of the governor of Varos" or "wishes to depose the governor of Varos"?

Hello GB

How are you? I'm back after the Christmas/New Year break and I see you've been busy, so I'd better start answering your questions – hope you've not felt ignored.

You're right – on the Doctor Who Enemies banner I think 'Sil' works better, as the Doctor has never encountered the Mentors without seeing Sil, and the entry is predominantly about him. I think fans are more likely to recognise the name 'Sil' than 'The Mentors'.

Thanks for updating the banners and adding it to the Time Lords

His captivating performance is despite his costume, which was rushed shortly 'Vengeance on Varos' began; consequently in some scenes his headpiece falls down almost over his eyes.<<

How about:
'Shaban gives a captivating performance despite his costume. Quickly made shortly before 'Vengeance on Varos' was filmed, in some scenes the headpiece falls down almost over his eyes.'

Oh, and the sentence should be 'wishes to depose the governor of Varos'

Thanks for being so thorough!

You are welcome, and I'm fine thank youof course I haven't felt ignored, I can always come back/go away and do other things while people are off having fun/family time/holidays...

I particularly enjoyed a trip around the Isle of Wight (a boat race) over Christmas via the tv, and also another programme was about the Isle of Wight's dinosaurs, which, of course, I already knew a lot about thanks to your entries

I've tweaked those fixes and sent it back now

See you on the Front Page!

Was it 'Dinosaur Britain' by any chance? I watched that, surprisingly enough...

<BB<

Congratulations! Your Entry is on the Front Page today

Oh and yes, it was 'Dinosaur Britain'

GB

Yay! Now to head home and catch up with the David Attenborough dinosaur programme that was on yesterday.
