the doctor who/i, claudius drinking game - because procrastination is an art

[calapine]

"For people with way, way too much time on their hands."

The idea is this: you get a few bottles of yer favoured tipple, sit down and watch the entirety of I, Claudius without any breaks and take a drink every time you spot an actor come on who's been in Doctor Who.

- unless it's Derek Jacobi, cause he comes on rather a lot. Just take a teeny wee sip instead.
- if you can name the actor's Who character and the story they appeared in, take an extra drink the first time they turn up in Claudius (if they've been in Who more than once, have an extra drink for every character and story you can name.)
- finish the glass if you spot the Black Guardian.
- if you spot Pat Gorman and can name every role he had in Who, keep drinking until you pass out.

  Naturally, I take no responsibility for the consequences should anyone actually choose to follow these suggestions for it will make you very tired and drunk and you will probably do something enormously silly. Or get alcohol poisoning.
