Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did I already post the link to this collection of Dr. Who related music?

As a tangent to that, there's a DJ Sutekh (Seth Horvitz) whose name I'm pretty sure is taken from the "Pyramids of Mars" Dr Who episode.

t waves to plasmo I remember Pyramids of Mars being one of the scariest (and also trippiest) Tom Baker stories.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Possible, but Sutekh is a long-standing alternative name for the Egyptian god Set. It need not have gone through Dr Who.
I remember Pyramids of Mars being one of the scariest (and also trippiest) Tom Baker stories.
It was a good one. I loved all the Egyptian touches, and it also had the Doctor showing no compassion for a murdered man, and a trip forward in time to reveal the dead world Earth would become if they didn't intervene.
My favourite adventure from that season (and for a long time my fave of all time), however, was Seeds of Doom. Which I didn't catch when the local public TV station played it last year, as they stuffed around with the scheduled time.
ETA: this site suggests that high regards for The Pyramids of Mars is a pretty widely held view.

I posted this question in Natter, but it occured to me that this might be a better place to find an answer to this question:
Is it:
"Many a muckle makes a mickle?"
Or
"Many a mickle makes a muckle?"
It googles both ways, and the online dictionaries show both "muckle" and "mickle" as meaning "a great many".

If I only had a brain...
I'm pretty sure it's "mickle...muckle". And you're right about their meaning the same thing. I once read an explanation of why, but I've forgotten it.
