Susan,
Are you mad? Do you have any idea of the fury that would be
unleashed if someone were to hit the wrong buttons and leak your
comments to lis-link? It would not be "shame about the librarians"
then , oh no, it would be "shame about all those little bits of Susan
all over the place. Gosh, I wonder if that's where they got they idea
for the Orcs from?"

> Well if we are doing film and TV it is difficult to know where to start! There was that shoot-out in an archive in one of the Brosnan Bond films -so hard to get blood out of the records afterwards, and I can't imagine the hail of bullets did much for them either. And there's an episode in the
second series of Andromeda which features both an archivist and a librarian. The librarian is dull and grey (literally) and sort of triangular, but the archivist is a saucy minx in a mini-skirt and a most un-cardiganlike top (what there is of it), who snogs anything in trousers that crosses her
path. Martin, don't worry about your credibility - how embarrassed am I to admit to knowing this, when the second series of Andromeda is yet to be broadcast on C4! But it did make being an archivist seem like quite a sexy sort of job, which of course we all know it is. Pity about the
librarians though.
