I notice from the publicity for The Incredibles that they appear to have stuck-on masks, rather than ones with straps; and I gather from a review that they don't have capes for reasons of them being dangerous to fight in. All of which seems to imply that the Pixar guys know their Watchmen.
You haven't really experienced it properly (IMHO) unless you watched as a child at Saturday teatime, straight after the football (that's soccer to you) results. With Jon Pertwee as The Doctor, of course.
Celtic winning and a new Cybermen story could just make the day.
And of course, this was before the days of video recorders, so if you missed an episode you _missed_ it. But most importantly, every episode within a story ended in a cliffhanger; and you had a week to wait...
Kids today don't know they're born.
BTW, the BBC have already posted a story denying the Buffy/Head link.

Impressive, how your 3-year old(s) manage(s) to stay three for six years;-)

Which would come as no surprise, of course.

And in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, for most of it. But what's this about no meaning yes?
