Carlton Video have just reissued Gareth's episode of Hammer House of Horror (Visitor from the Grave) - also well worth watching. Don't let anyone tell you the plot twists in advance. They've also reissued Brian Croucher's episode of Hammer House of Horror (The House That Bled to Death), but it's on a different tape...

Personally I found the Logic of Empire rather disappointing but that may have been due to my too high expectations because of all the praising reviews I'd read.

I'm on the scrounge for Oxfam. Good condition paperback novels, hardback and paperback non-fiction of every kind (humour, travel, health, sport, history, natural history, etc.) are all welcome. The things that are least useful are out of date reference books (like old atlases and guide books). These are only useful if they are old enough to interest historians. We vastly prefer paperback novels to hardback - people seem to prefer buying fiction that they can pop in a handbag. Our shop sold 170 books last week, so as you can see, we need a lot of incoming donations to keep the shelves full. The money raised helps the world's poorest people to improve their own lives. This isn't just about handing out help after disasters (though Oxfam specialise in equipment to provide clean, safe drinking water after emergencies which greatly reduces the risk of disease) but also about basic education, digging new wells to save women walking hours every day to fetch water, and providing tools for people to work with. If you have books that you'd like to donate, please bring them to either my stand or the Redemption stand at Cult TV. (My husband's picking me up afterwards, so there's lots of space in the car.)
