Have just watched M&C:TFSOTW. Have sent amatia plea for help re: same. Damn you, Russel Crowe!

In other news, a month or so ago, ladyjaida did this challenge thingie wherein she enticed people to write a story in their first fandoms, and I can't stop occasionally worrying at the idea. Long time readers will be rolling their eyes now, as I've been doing the dance of "I want to write something decent for Space: Above and Beyond for several years now, and sigh. There's no real point to this paragraph. Just ignore me.

Current Mood: sleepy

Re: In which I put on my dust-gathering RSA Archivist Hat ...

I could see you've googled or something. I guess I could have too. Some of those links are dead but there is still a lot to read. Now I just need time ;-)

Dallas slash is as good as George W. Bush slash if you ask me, same setting, big companies, oil, ranches, politics, ...

Well, I'm not even sure about that "The Secret Valley" title, but they used to have the Australian anthem as the title song. With different lyrics.

Secret Valley, 1980 TV Series. A series about the children who run a holiday camp in Bildarra called 'Secret Valley' and the problems they have with a gang led by Spider McGlurk and the man who is determined to close their camp down Councillor Claude Cribbin. IMDB: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0220267

This was the first series ever I was hooked on. I couldn't read time schedules yet around that time, but I watched it every time it used to come around (and my parents always wanted me to go to sleep before that was over, I must have been 7 or so)

I still remember an episode where they had a huge war thing going on with the Spider gang and they had made catapults which they filled with the contents of their trash cans. If conservationists could see this today, they'd turn around in their graves (I know it doesn't make sense ;-)

At least I have confirmation now that this show really existed and wasn't a childhood fantasy after all. (I'm sure they stopped broadcasting it after I turned 9, so it's like 20 years ago since I've seen it...)
