So: behind the Dec. 3 click on the Doctor Who Advent Calendar we have a ten pound note (or a ten-satsuma note) with a pic of the Doctor that really just tickles my fancy. I particularly like it that they put the TARDIS on it too. But who is that on the twenty-pound note? Will I have to watch "The Runaway Bride" to find out? (Aww, yeah, twist my arm.) And why does it say 'pounds' instead of 'satsumas'?

I love this sort of thing.

That's Phil Collinson on the 20.

Is it? I was wondering who was in the picture. I wonder why they choose him and not RTD.

He's one of the producers.

Right! Okay, thanks. (It was a familiar name, but I couldn't place it.)

Maybe they drew straws. Maybe they played scissors/paper/stone.

I don't know what clock it's geared to, but it's after 11.30 am and window 4 won't open!

Of course, he may be going to appear in another of the windows!

Of course he might. Which reminds me, I haven't checked my window for today. (Toddles off to do it...) It's music - a new version of the "Song for Ten". How very cool!

As for the National Gallery calendar... it's a Monet. "Tumbledown cottages" that look a little (to me) like the cannibals' homes in "Countrycide". (Now, there is an un-Christmassy allusion for you.) Pretty.

I was having that problem with the National Gallery calendar, and discovered that my bookmark won't work - I have to go back to the home page and then again to the Advent Calendar, because it's only possible to open each window with the new version of the main picture.

The song is fun!
I agree about the cottages...

Enjoying it, too!
