@Richard_Littler Is that "On the Buses" between Dr Who and the Levenshulme Fair?

I realised as I was writing that "Dr Who and the Levenshulme Fair" sounds like it might have been one of those really creepy episodes where people at the Levenshulme Fair have been hypnotised and are behaving not-quite-normal enough to be sinister.

@AndyIncarnate Ah, yes! Looks like it!
