A wickedly affectionate parody of the nation's favourite SF series
Doctor Whom, the grammatically correct TimeLord (or should that be Time Lord Or is it Timelord ) has come to save our universe from the terror's of sloppy syntax and bad grammar. With his intrepid assistant Lynne: hes here to correct greengrocers sign's, popular fiction and government memos (memoes ) before inaccurate and lazy communication rips apart the very fabric of the space time continuum.
Is it any wonder that the rise of global warming has coincided with the decline in the teaching of Latin in our schools I do'nt think so.
