[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2815406, member: 30035"] [b]placeholder[/b] Oh, criminy! That database failure really hit this thread hard. I'm not even sure how many episodes are missing. I'm going to leave a couple of placeholders for future updates, as soon as I can locate my notes for the missing sessions. sniffles _____________________ Well, I finally stumbled across some of my notes - nearly a year later.
