Star Time #140: You Don't Live Twice
At this point in the Star Time annual programming calendar I start to feel a little lightheaded. During this time of year, when I'm not doing special shows (last week's covers episode, next week's '80s episode) I just fling index cards around the office, unbolt my robot assistants and say "OK boys, do your worst," and spend the rest of the afternoon eating stiff scones and drinking weak tea, and by the time I come back they've got a show all done for me. They did a good job on this one. Maybe I won't melt them down for scrap after all. It's almost Christmas anyway.
