[Very] loosely based on the HP Lovecraft story 'The Color Out Of Space'. Karloff is wonderful, as always.

** it's the first time I see the first doctor! I'm planning to make a 11° doctor's cosplay for my new set!
mrwaverly:
What you must remember about the Doctor is that when he was younger, he was a much older man. 😉😘😘😘

'Trans Avant' simply means 'Front Wheel Drive'. This car is similar to one driven on UK TV, many, many years ago, by Inspector Maigret. The books, by Georges Simenon, on which the show was based, are being reprinted. They are well worth checking out.

If somebody gave me one of these, or a DS19, I'd learn to drive...

The classic 'Brixton Briefcase'.

Top Secret until very recently. Now part of a nature reserve.

Spooky! We had some of those in Berlin during the cold war, when some metro lines crossed GDR territory...those were boarded up and guarded, and trains obviously didn't stop.

The LU has so many because originally, lots of smaller rival companies ran their own trains on their own lines. Of course, there were intersections, and common areas of track, but when the entire system was unified by London Transport, it could be seen that there were stations ludicrously close to each other, and some that were only used for a short time each day, or by very few passengers (Blake Hall, a station outside London holds this dubious record - 16 passengers a day), so the decision was made to close awkward stations. During the second world war, some stations were opened as bomb shelters, and control centres for various essential services. To the east of London, a stretch of new stations were converted into a huge underground factory, making aircraft parts. Even stranger, there is a station that was built, but due to a vigourous campaign by residents, never connected to the surface (until about 20 years ago). This was North End, or 'Bull & Bush' (a local pub), high up on Hampstead Heath. It would have been the deepest station on the entire network - 221 feet. Sorry, but I love this sort of stuff.👍😄

This is Captain Kit Draper, ex Mars Gravity Probe 1. I named him after the lead character from the 1964 movie 'Robinson Crusoe On Mars'. A great fun movie. And one of my favourites.
