Dear the library-going public,

I'm happy for you that you're excited about whoever it is having their baby and I'm happy for her that she and the child seem to be doing okay. However. We, y'know, fought a war so that I don't have to care about the British royal family. I have successfully performed this patriotic duty of not caring for the past 30 years and I'd really like to continue doing so.

A patron just made the mistake of telling me that she wants to start watching Doctor Who, doesn't know where to start, and just wants me to pick a few serials to put on hold for her. I am trying to keep my love for things that are not universally recognized as being awesome from overwhelming my choices. (Maybe Invasion of Time is not the best thing to immediately show a newbie.)

I am somewhat hampered by the library's dvd selection, however. In that we have Time-Flight but don't have Genesis of the Daleks or the Mind Robber. So I assume that we are left with the Doctor Who dvds that nobody wants enough to steal and no one watches enough for them to wear out.

So, she's getting Ark in Space, Tomb of the Cybermen, Claws of Axos, and Robots of Death. Not too shabby. 8)
