Victorianitas

DVD-by-post services are the best idea of the twenty-first century. So far. I'm willing to accept that there might come, in some distant future year, an invention better than the one that sends you all the films you haven't seen for years as well as all the TV series you never saw in the first place, but I'm sceptical. (And now I can watch The Sopranos all the way through from Season 1 without losing track and having to phone my mother to find out what happened in the bits I missed. There's just something fundamentally wrong with that.)

So I'm flicking through the Search function intermittently, adding things when I think of them, and what a helpful search function it is!
