I understand the fondness. I'm inordinately fond of Minuet in Hell, while everyone else hates it! It's because it was my first audio, and I adore one of the actresses in it for her other work (and so can forgive her atrocious accent!), and I still find it rather funny :o) Eight's excellent in it, and it has the Brig! The Brigadier makes all things better. I don't quite get why a lot of people can't see past the silliness and awful American accents to just enjoy it as a fun story. (Plus, it's almost impossible now for me not to see a four foot penguin in place of the main villain, as played by Robert Jezek.)

That was a really weird story :o) And I like the way it all comes round again in the end, once you've heard The Vanity Box. Definitely do that, they're the best kind of crack :oD
