Now there's an unusual subject heading for a Doctor Who forum.

'Love among the Lobelias' is the name of gem of a short story that went out on Radio Four today, and has a double connection to Who.

It's by Rob 'Dalek' Shearman and like the very best of his Doctor Who scripts (Deadline and The Holy Terror) concerns itself with the theme of damnation.

And it's performed with relish by a spot-on Mark Gatiss. smile

The BBC have been kind enough to put it online for the next six days, and enjoying it is absolutely the best thing you could do with the next fifteen minutes...

Oooooh. It sounds really good and since I can access it, I think I'll listen to it tomorrow after my final exam for a bit of a treat! 3nodding

Hope the exam went well. smile

Just realised that I'm fibbing. The story hasn't got a double Who connection. It's got a triple Who connection since it's produced and directed by Martin Jarvis, the Governor of Varos.

Or (if you're Sil) produced and directed by Martin Jarvis, the Govanuuuuerererr of Varos.

Yeah, I think it went pretty well, thanks. =3

My mum is actually not working tonight, so I'm gonna spend some time with her, but I promise to listen to it tomorrow! 3nodding

I know what you mean! My favourite line is, "That's him waving over there....at least, I think he's waving."

One of the cleverest moments is when the publishers discover who Nic is, and say that had they known they'd just have marketed it differently. smile
