This episode is one of the RT's Picks of the Day

[pðtù§]

I'm going to watch this ep this afternoon, perhaps during breakfast (it's a bank holiday, for once I didn't over sleep) and pick out some quotes. I've seen s3 before but I can remember every little bit about it.

I'll admit I'm disappointed. I was ready to add ensorcelled to my list of all time favourite made up words. Then I went to dictionary.com:

en·sor·cell or en·sor·cel ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-sôrsl)
tr.v. en·sor·celled, or en·sor·celed en·sor·cel·ling, or en·sor·cel·ing en·sor·cells or en·sor·cels
To enchant; bewitch.

[French ensorceler, from Old French ensorcerer, ensorceler : en-, intensive pref.; see en-1 + sorcier, sorcerer; see sorcerer.]

en·sorcell·ment n.

And why can I never find things like the map like the one Charlie got when I go to a car boot sale?

Amy Gardner :: shudders ::

Does she have any other facial expressions or does her contract state she only use the one?

My heart sank when I saw Mary Louise Parker's name on the front of the Red Dragon DVD. It was bad enough that Hannibal Lector had a pony tail (good film though).


"Waitress places drink on table:
Josh: Thank you. Thank you for the extra olive.
Amy: That's your type of girl"

One word: eBay

I've never looked before, and after you mentioned that, I looked out of curiousity. Search the word 'map' under the Antiques & Art section = 542 results.

Maps are good. I have a world map on my lounge wall. I always look at it and find places I've heard of recently (the federated states of Micronesia, for a start). It's one of those £4 poster ones you can pick up anywhere. Not the same as an old map though. I think my eBay feedback may go up further when I start buying more stuff again.

That said eBay is not the same as picking up something that the owner doesn't appreciate and paying 20p for it, taking it home and then studying it for the next four hours. But it is a good place to find unique things.

Nope. Sorry.

As for Amy, my problem with he r is that (strangely for TWW) she seems not to be that well a thought out character.

It appears to me that she's there because they have a love interest for Donna (Cliff) and they also decided Josh needs one as well.

See The Women Of Qumar and her arguaments for the removal of the word forced. The ones which were actually cases of forced prostitution.
