It all became skewed over the years and myth overtook reality. Cartmel doesn't help himself with some of the things he said to DWM over the years, however that's all bye the bye now.

Did you ever read Iceberg, Ian? That was very good.

It was decent, haven't read it for years.

Damaged Goods was written by, er, Russell T Davies, you know. I won't make the obvious joke there.

That's alright then.

I don't see the point in them at all. Do something constructive. Post a review or screen grabs, just don't take the wrapper off and fondle the case, anyone can do that without making a video of it.
