Lost video

[juliet]

We appear to have had our Little Shop of Horrors video swapped for a Trigger Happy TV video. This is a little bit traumatic. It was discovered when various of us wandered back from Green Park yesterday evening & decided that LSOH was the perfect thing to go with dinner. It took about 5 minutes of attempting to fast-forward through some kind of weird THTV trailer, wondering if actually it was on the TV, and remembering that the TV doesn't do fast-forward, before kitty_goth was deputised to remove the tape from the machine and check that it was not, in fact, THTV. Which it was.

So we watched Evita instead, and marnameow & I sang along lots; but Pete and I are distressed by the loss of LSOH. Have we lent it to anyone, and did you/they inadvertently return us the Wrong Tape?

You have just reminded me of the first recorded instance of Nick Hornby Writing Something With A Plot, his story in McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales, and given me The Apocalyptic Fear. Bah.
I hope you find your video.

Has this tape been anywhere near our living room? We certainly have all 3 THTV videos in the chaotic mix of things-to-watch, and there may have been a chance for them to breed with a LSOH in the past ...

One hardly dares wonder what the bastard offspring of LSOH and THTV would be like...

Ah, it's certainly possible, though I can't remember for sure. I shall either tell Kitty to check this evening, or check myself next time I'm round. Cheers!
