Earth to Urth Pt 3: Addenda

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Joan Sims couldn't be Dorcas, she's old enough to be his

No, Barbara Windsor would have to be Jolenta. Hattie Jacques would be
the leader of the Pelerines, and Kenneth Williams the Autarch.

I guessed who Severian would be straight away (which raises very
interesting questions about social environment and analogical
reasoning :-) but I didn't think this would fly without a role
for Sid James. Unfortunately for my mental health, I have just
worked it out ... "*magic* mirrors, that's right - this way ..."

SBear.

- Carry On Torturer: Kenneth Connor IS Jonas!

Stop!

- Charles Hawtrey IS Hethor!

Stop, stop! Aaagh!
