It's really more of an azure.

Thanks for the reminder - I'd thought about including that one but forgot about it as I was putting this together. Maybe I'll add that to the end of the post later when I have time. That appearance was my first time seeing him too.

Damn you for repeating your own joke in public before I had a chance to do it!

Argh - you're right. I'll fix that.

I have a copy of Blues People somewhere that I bought for one of my college classes - I'll have to try to find it. Thanks for the other book recommendations, everyone.

Bukka's coming up very soon, maybe next week.

Not dissing McCoy, just the quality of the writing and production values during his time on the show, which certainly wasn't his fault. I like his take on the character quite a bit, and I even think Colin Baker's "crazy, irritable Doctor with horrible taste" was a potentially interesting idea that just wasn't carried…
