CD: "A fan?" [Dickens mimes fanning himself, with a puzzled expression]was all it needed
Definitely. An over-explained gag if ever there was one. I qas quite pleased at the historical accuracy of Dickens not knowing the term, though. An often neglected feature of time travel is that a large proportion of our speech is composed of metaphors and words which would be largely baffling to an earlier generation.
next week looks great...
After this week's Tom Baker episode this looks like another Pertwee one to me. :-) Some of the clips look slightly too OTT in an Avengers-like way, but otherwise it does look very promising!
