"Doctor Who" was my favourite TV programme as a child and 40 odd years later, it still is .

Patricia - the story with the Zarbi ("The Web Planet") is available on DVD. I suspect you'd find it a little less scary if you were to re-watch it now .

heh. "zarbi" means "bizarre" in verlan slang. i find that a highly appropriate name, for a doctor who monster.

Yes, I have seen the dvd and realised that the zarbi were actually men doubled up, with ant costumes.

I hadn't noticed the Verlan, though. Thanks, Zelda.
(My first introduction to Verlan was reading Balzac's 'Spendeurs et misères des courtisanes', where Vautrin uses it when imprisoned.)

holy cow, i had no idea it had been in use so long. i bet les djeunes des cités would be pretty stunned to find out they're speaking like Balzac as well. i will have to read Splendeurs et Misères.

i watched a lot of tv....
nick at night: bewitched, i dream of jeanie, odd couple, get smart, happy days, all in the family, wonder years, etc
nick not at night: salute your shorts, are you afraid of the dark, pete and pete, rugrats, doug, ren and stimpy
mtv: beavis and butt-head
wb: anamaniacs, tiny toon adv, batman, spiderman, xmen, the tick
fox: the simpsons, the xfiles, and whatever fox decided to put on between the simpsons and the xfiles.
i also barely remember watching these shows when I was really really young:
heman, g.i. joe, care bears, smurfs, transformers.
i regrettably continued to watch these shows every morning before school throughout middle school and high school:
mad max and beast wars.
