Yes okay so let me explain another key thing about Oxford:
there is no ‘campus’
Instead there are (36-43 depending how you count) colleges, most of which have a self contained ‘campus’ with dining hall, accommodation, library, etc solely for members of the college
5/er,4... Dom Issigri's emergence from what, given his age, might as well be dementia, helped by the friendship of Milo and his memories of Madeleine as a little girl, encourages wistfulness. If only such cures worked in real life. The foundations are laid for Madeleine's redemption, though.
Candles turn out to be a gap in Zoe's knowledge, too, which redresses the Jamie-Zoe imbalance. Poor Hermack still hasn't worked everything out. Madeleine has already 'seen the error of her ways', as the 1976 Making of Doctor Who synopsis put it, but much good it is doing her. 3/4
...storing up leverage, like her supposedly dead father. This serial has a distinguished cast, Esmond Knight joining the roster as Dom Issigri. The 'Candles? In this day and age?' queries Jamie, but Frazer Hines delivers the line with the relief of someone facing something familiar. 2/4
Doctor Who: The Space Pirates, part 5, faces the question of what to do now the Doctor, Jamie, Zoe and Milo know that Madeleine Issigri is in charge of the piracy operation. One answer is to show that she is less the boss than we might have thought - Cavan is an untrustworthy partner, 1/4
While we wait for Space Corps to arrive, the Doctor and company escape, straight into a trap of the we-need-to-keep-this-going variety. 4/4
Actor who provided a light touch as the thief Vila in Blake’s 7 and spent 13 years as a vicar on EastEnders
Well, this is going to be worth a read...

Can we not “if you tolerate this, then your children will be next” when it is our country and they are our children.

So, what's up with the College Libraries? Are they tied to a specific college? And are they for students/faculty or something else? I guess I'm curious about how they're different from the Bodleian.
