Doctor Who and theatre tours

Phoned in middle of workout by Jo who was bored yesterday morning. Me: 'in middle of crunches! Impossible to get up without hurting self!' Anyway, we decided on a theatre tour, which was fun, with also two Las Vegas tourists. Lots of little bits of gossip, and couldn't believe how often theatres burned down. (basically, if it's older than a century and hasn't burned down at least twice, it's not a proper theatre) Though the bloke did seem surprised when he asked why you thought they burned down so often, and my first reponse was 'insurance'. I am obviously cynical, immerse head in business world too much, and read too much Pratchett and watch Shakespeare in Love. Creditors, that's all I'm saying. Also got labelled as theatre buff as much as Jo (who is bountiful source of info on best places to get cheap tickets) while I wailed inwardly 'I'm not, I'm just a history geek and know obscure little facts'. Still can't believe he hadn't heard of Ned Kynaston, who's one of the first things you come across if you look anywhere near the history of the Restoration of the theatre and women. Actually collared me to write it down at end of tour.

Dr Who. In the sacred words of Vince Tyler : Oh. My. God.
