Through these fields of destruction, baptisms of fire, I witnessed your suffering, as the battle raged higher. And though they did hurt me so bad, in the fear and alarm, you did not desert me, my brothers in arms. -- Dire Straights, Brothers in Arms

Tales from /lost+found 173: Gettin’ Twitchy

You may know that Twitch.tv recently concluded a streaming event showing much of the classic series of Doctor Who. Sadly, due to licensing issues, most of the stories featuring the Daleks couldn’t be shown.

Now, Twitch has moved on to running a marathon of Knight Rider, a show which is also very dear to my heart. Sadly, the same licensing issues are affecting that marathon as well, costing us some classics:
