Because they're in it. For some of the book, the boy is, indeed, outside the boat. But not all. And if he was close enough to scratch the outside of the boat, he'd be close enough to the tiger to be eaten.

Maybe, but that's not the whole book... there's a zebra too.

Read it already - pretty sure he was either in the boat or a bit away from it - never hanging off the end. Might be wrong, though ;)

No biggie, but why would he scratch the number of days on the OUTSIDE of the boat?

Perfect.

Bump. Also, I think this is making a lot of people in Ireland reconsider their position right now. I hope it is, anyway...

...so, can I be Paul Reiser? I really liked the cut of his suit.

I have no idea why I capitalised doubling. Sorry.

Well, at least Glasgow gets a look in (even if it's Doubling for Philadelphia)... I asked Brooks about any input he had in the film when he did a signing in Glasgow. He got precisely zero. I think it shows.

I guess we'll never get a complete answer for why he left but I do feel that RTD gets a hell of a lot of stick considering he brought back a…

Bless. Glad it's not just ranting with no evidence in the comments, then...

As Sean says - 1998 (with the Seventh Doctor).

I probably said this last time you posted the list, but thanks for including some older films - The Haunting, Peeping Tom, Cat People et al.

If Bodymelt/Society isn't here then... I probably won't have to revisit my Billy Warlock-meets-weird incestuous melty people nightmares again.

OK, so now Robocop looks more like Streethawk? Those people who erroneously moaned that Dredd was a rip-off of Robocop are going to look a bit silly, I fear.

I love this so much it hurts.

Yeah, and they even stole their gold teeth... /dumb
