Happy New Year, f-list.
Yesterday I went to an exhibition called Invasion, which was props and costumes from various science-fiction films or TV shows. I saw an Ood and the Alien and discovered the answer to the age-old question: Am I taller than a Dalek? Yes. The 1974 and 2012 variations, at any rate.
There was also Matt LeBlanc's costume from Lost in Space. The internet tells me that Mr LeBlanc is 178 cm (5'10") tall. I don't want to suggest that the internet is wrong, f-list, but… it is wrong. I am 162 cm (5'3") and I was shoulder to shoulder with that mannequin. Granted, the costume may have been made of stretchy stuff, so perhaps it would also fit a taller person.
I meant to say, when I went to see The Hobbit, I stood next to a woman in the ticket queue who was telling everyone: 'You'll see there's a bit where they ride some shaggy horses, well, my friend owns them. I've ridden them. Thorin's pony!' She was quite excited by that.
