My time in South Korea leads me to believe that they'd get along famously with the Scots, but that the "getting to know you" period would involve many drinking contests, and I'm not sure who I would put odds on....
Commented on Happy Halloween!
My US Print edition had the "anohter 3000 miles another 3000 miles" print error, which I liked finding - genuine printing errors, including a mis-spelled word, are real treats in these days of electronic typesetting. Did note a Britishism in...

John E @ 295: But our T&T have an advantage other investigators don't have - a TARDIS, so they can go back in time to find out what really happened to the disappearing children.

I hadn't given any thought to how our intrepid duo acquired their time machine and the program's writers apparently did....
