The Boogieman episode of Quantum Leap: - featured a young wannabe horror novelist called Stevie King - production allegedly cursed - EVIL AL

Today we lost Walter Koenig. Some thoughts about a fine actor and genuinely nice guy....

Finally sorted out the 5 BBC Radio Bristol shows Kenny Everett did in 1971, figuring out the dates and order. Didn't help that someone had compiled a 6th episode, from other shows.
