That Mitchell and Webb Sound

Last night I was watching a Doctor Who story from the early 1970s called "Doctor Who and the Silurians". The story involved the Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) investigating the mysterious power losses at an underground experimental power station, alongside the strange attacks on members of the stations' staff. It turns out that the culprits are a race of intelligent reptilian creatures who used to rule the Earth during the dinosaur period but were forced to move underground into suspended animation, until they were reanimated by the power from the station. It was a really dark and quite ambiguous story. The humans and the creatures were presented as being pretty much as bad as each other, with some of the creatures being quite sympathetic characters.

Later on I was listening to a radio adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel called Elephants Can Remember, which was pretty good.

Today I went over to my parent's house for lunch, as usual. The CD of the second season of That Mitchell and Webb Sound that I ordered had arrived. Here's what it says on the back of the CD:

"Starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, from Channel 4's Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Sound is a hilarious mix of satirical sketches and surreal characters that provides a fantastically skewed perspective on everyday life.
Meet soporific late-night DJ Adrian Locket; Peter and Ted, commentators who reeal the murky underside of the snooker world; crime fighter Angel Summoner and his redundant sidekick BMX Bandit; and the obnoxious incredibly posh person who is still unaccountably a waiter.
In addition there's Numberwang!, the maths quiz that makes very little sense, plus thrilling coverage of people you don't know buying houses and then living in them, and thinking where to go on holiday and then booking it.
Zany and original, this consistently funny and imaginative series highlights the absurdity of reality TV, politics, chat shows - and milk helplines."

I got back home at around half past five.
