Hello, and welcome to the occasionally lucid ramblings of two middle-aged men. We've been talking about doing a blog for years, and now seems as good a time as any. Feel free to pull up an imaginary chair and settle in. Think of us as one of those exclusive Victorian clubs where everyone sits around after a visit to Ye Olde Moustache Shoppe with a balloon of brandy in one hand and an ill-informed opinion ever ready to be espoused.
The overall intent of this blog - at least where I'm concerned - is to be wildly enthusiastic, at times, informative, occasionally very grumpy indeed, but on the whole I'm aiming for a mood of cheery bonhomie with free stuff thrown in every now and then. Be warned - the words "Doctor" and "Who" will almost certainly cross the threshold on many occasions. M'learned colleague and I met as part of Scottish Doctor Who fandom many years ago, and well - why ignore something you love?
Permit me to introduce myself - as one half of the editorial team, I think it's rude to start a blog without saying "Hello".
"Hello". Oh, I kill me.
Anyroad - I'm Walt. I'm the nice one. He's Dave. He's also the nice one. I'm obsessive over the things I love, which translates as an urge to bore everyone senseless with obscurities, minutiae and general stuff you may not realise you wanted to know. You've been warned. Postings from me will probably career all over the place involving some of the following: Jim Henson, Squeeze, old British Telly, old American Telly, comedy (Radio and Telly, Old and New), OTR, vintage film, and will frequently feature a flagrant abuse of the comma. As this sentence has just proven. If you're parading about the internet in forums and other places and someone called "difbrook" pops up, it's probably me.
As and when I get the chance, I'll upload things, review old treasures and rhapsodise over new discoveries. I'll try to post links in time-honoured fashion. The aim is simple - if I love something, I hope someone else will too. That's pretty much all I have in mind for this place, apart from an occasional splenetic rant. Better out than in, and all that.
Hey-ho. I really should shut up for now, but I do hope you all enjoy this place, when it gets going. I'm looking forward to it. A little home from home, as it were. Hope you like us. We like you.
