I finally did it, after far too long. All the scripts for TAS are now available on the website. So if you, or someone you know, prefer written format, then the website's ready and waiting. TMS too, can't forget the firstborn.

I knew this day would come...
@GhostlyThistle I've been listening to The Antique Shop and was curious what your real name was. I investigated and found it. It's Ghostelina Millicent Thistle-Smythe. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Also, I love the show! Found out about you because of Minerva Sweeny Wren.

I've finally returned to get the scripts from TAS onto the website. I'm up to episode 41 now if you want to go and have a nosy.

I'm interrupting this run of scripts to share the best fact (if the source I found is to be believed) I've learned all year: In England & Wales during 1877, there were 5 children registered with the first name of Pickles.

I've finally come up against the biggest disadvantage of releasing scripts. You find the inconsistencies and mistakes. I've used the same name for two different characters; in episode 15 and episode 23. Don't even get me started on the grammar/spelling. https://t.co/N4H88bRvy5
