    Assuming little Carole just put up the O ('aught'), looks like Bubbles will win the game. I'm on pins and needles...did BBC ever show the result?

    It's not obvious from that picture, but the little girl is actually The Destroyer Of Worlds.

    There is a program called Life on Mars on BBC1. It is about a police officer who is hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. He might be in a coma, mad, or a time traveller.
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lifeonmars/

    In the second episode he is dreaming, the TV is on and the test card is on the screen. Then she comes out of the TV and talks to him then starts singing.

    In the third episode it happens again, without the singing, and she trying to kill him by telling him to sleep forever.

    I was always terrified of it as a kid, so you can imagine my response.

    LOL! You put "by the by". Anyway, clowns are scary.



    If I was smart, I would have a witty punchline in this sig that would make everyone ROTFL.

    I'm not smart.

    I remember the test card from when I was a little child.

    Thanks the gods that I will live my entire adult life with 24 hour tv and whatever replaces it.
