Looks like quite a few people will be using those “Frequent Flyer Miles” on B-T Airlines
over the holidays….
I got a new travel bag!
Hmmm better gas up the ol’ “jet”!
Why am I going home for Christmas instead of being up here where I can make sure I can see all this great sci-fi.
Whoot! – I only wish I was in England so I can catch the last two episodes XD. But Ah well, I’ll try and watch them online…
I meant I’ll, ummmm remember to videotape them, thats right videotape!
I really miss Rose
But i got used to Martha this season and im sick and tired of cast changes.
But with Catherine Tate now the new companion, it should be good. But it makes me wonder how long she will last as Catherine tate does alot of other stuff such as her sketch show.
RE: “The Sarah Jane Adventures….10 more 30 minute episodes will air in 2007” Does this mean we don’t get the promised series in 2006?
