"Stimulate! Stimulate!"

[adelaidesean]

"Mr T vs the Cybermen" is the funniest and strangest thing I've seen for days, and much less disturbing than the Dalek/Cyberman slash I came across a couple of weeks ago.

None of this, though, compares to the news that Felicity Kendall will be guest-starring in an episode of Doctor Who involving Agatha Christie. I am swooning as I type. (Did I ever mention that I grew up on Doctor Who, Agatha Christie and The Good Life novels?) That's the best slash I could ever imagine.

Have you read any Dorothy L Sayers mysteries?

She only wrote about ten mysteries (featuring Lord Peter Wimsey), but they are much more complex, deeper, mature works than Christie's. Try The Nine Tailors or Murder must advertise. Her murders are very clever, and yet grounded in the real world.

I read some of her books when I was younger, but not for ages. Thanks for the reminder. She was brilliant.

My favourite crime writer is Peter Lovesy. Whole different thing, but very cleverly written, particularly early novels like _The False Inspector Dew_. Ever heard of him?
