Special shout-out for straight-to-video Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time, which has no right to be as enjoyable as it is.

Tortie and tuxedo kitties looking hopeful.
These 'Sausage Inspectors' look remarkably similar to the 'Bacon Inspectors' that turned up yesterday.

Just putting it out there: if they've found any of the Myth Makers and anyone wants to interview me about Bronze Age stuff in Doctor Who for a Blu-ray extra, I am very much available.
