…In The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Artie (Toby Huss) is an eccentric strongman who can move entire houses by an inch, skip stones to Neptune, and hit golf balls 300,003 yards. For he is Artie… the strongest man… in the world!…

…Karl Pilkington is the Idiot Abroad. When Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant send him on a tour around the world, he moans and whinges every step of the way. He’s also the inventor of the Pilko Pump Pants, which you can make by sewing a travel pillow to your bum….

…same name. Yorick, an amateur escape artist, traverses the streets of New York with his pet capuchin monkey Ampersand after a global event wipes out every other man (and male animal) on the planet. After he’s reunited with his mother Jennifer, Yorick is taken under the protection of Agent 355 as they seek to unravel the mystery of how Yorick and Ampersand survived. Yorick wears a gas mask with a hooded raincoat to obscure his identity and carries…

…situations over and over again. Her need to see justice served nearly pushes her into the antagonist role more than a few times and causes a lot of tension with Jessica and the other people in Trish’s life. But that’s a fine line to walk when Jessica is just as reckless and Marvel’s New York is a very dangerous place! The key to cosplaying as Trish is to tap into her style. She favors blazers and silk blouses. She pairs these with leather pants an…

…studying these costumes. One of the main places they hung out was on the forums on theforce.net — the costume and props forum members contributed a great deal to my site and I tried to capture and distill the discussions that took place there. Capturing all this info was nearly a full time job and I spent a lot of evening hours working on the site! Once the Star Wars Prequel costume excitement died down a bit, I was taken by the costumes in anothe…

…After first meeting the Doctor when she was seven, Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) thought for years he was an imaginary friend. Until he showed up again the day before her wedding and it turned out her Raggedy Doctor was really an alien Time Lord (tangentially, what is up with the Doctor and redheads’ weddings?)….

…Mycroft, Sherlock’s older and possibly smarter brother, prefers observation to action. He humbly insists he occupies but a minor role in Her Majesty’s government (if by ‘minor,’ you mean ‘occasionally IS Her Majesty’s government’), however, he gets tetchy when asked how his diet’s going (it’s going fine, thank you)….

…Rose started out as a normal nineteen-year-old shopgirl until the Doctor blew up her shop (there were Autons inside at the time – don’t ask). But given the choice between an ordinary life and adventure through all of time and space, Rose chose the latter. Hey, who wouldn’t?…

…What can you say about the Doctor that hasn’t already been said over his show’s fifty-year history? He’s nine hundred years old, he’s an alien and he travels through time and space in a 1963 blue police call box. Also, sometimes he looks like Christopher Eccleston and that’s pretty fantastic….

…Accidentally drawn onto the Doctor’s ship on her wedding day, Donna Noble never thought she’d see the lonely alien man again. But unable to get him out of her mind, she began searching for him wherever something strange or paranormal cropped up, eventually joining him as a full-time companion….
