It's fantastic that you're updating this again. I spent the intervening *week* rewatching the entire series several times over so everything is much fresher in my mind than for earlier chapters. I can so easily see every single character saying their lines here. And I loved the appearance of all of the other characters in this chapter, so glad we are getting to see them, even Darling's brief appearance. I can so easily see him delivering the "In Blood" line. Looking forward to seeing Nursie too.
I'll be looking forward to the further updates very much.
Oh god this only gets better and better! I can just hear Rowan Atkinson speaking these lines :)
Superb stuff!

Review of chapter "Chapter Nineteen" from batzulger
Review:
Mornington Crescent! Humph would be so proud that the Crippendale Variation was used.
Great story, very Adderish in tone. George, Flashheart, Apu, lunacy all work so well together and you have the dialogue cold. (I hope Alan and Dru escape.)
Comments from author:
I actually wrote that part months ago, but by coincidence, I ran across a Humph tribute concert on iPlayer whilst I was finishing off the chapter yesterday.

Review of chapter "Chapter Nineteen" from Inquisitor
Review:
cool update...pls don't take too long for the next update...so did Kendra actually shot Spike or the sword is really mystical...if it was Kendra, how come no one noticed the bolt sticking out of Spike's heart....anyway i hope that it was a mystical blade that causes the undead to combust considering that the shipping probably cost more than the actual item itself...
Comments from author:
It was all Kendra's doing. The sword is about as mystical as a newspaper fortune teller. No-one noticed the bolt because of Buffy's misdirection - they were too busy watching the beautiful magicians assistant with the big shiny sword, like the crowd at any conjuring trick.

Review of chapter "Chapter Nineteen" from Arekanderu
Review:
The awesomeness of this story is reaching critical levels!
Comments from author:
It's good to see that TtH continues to attract such an intelligent audience ;)

I read this again and noticed some parts I don't remember reading before. (which is weird since I'm tracking the story)
Anyway, it is still at least as hilarious as I remembered, and probably even more. And now there is also Xander/Kendra pairing, that could be fun of a different kind. Especially with Buffy's teasing and coaching of Kendra. :-P
I noticed one thing in the early chapters that I did not recognize before: [ "..... that couldn't even find Waldo on the book's cover. ...] According to Wikipedia, the book is called Wally in England, not Waldo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where%27s_Wally
Oh, and this line still cracks me up: [Yes,β agreed George enthusiastically, βand I wonder if there is a hellbellybutton.β] Of course, a mark where baby-hellmouthlets spawned off from the big bad mother-hellmouth - and I'm betting that's what Cleveland really is :-P
There will be more - there is already more written, but unfortunately, it isn't the bit that comes next. Pesky narratives and their requirements for cause to precede effect.

Review of chapter "Chapter Seventeen" from Bugeyedmonster
Review:
See there's a very good reason for Baldrick the vampire to never bathe. OTOH, it might actually be possible that Baldrick has that jewel, but doesn't realize it.

Review of chapter "Chapter Seventeen" from DaveTurner
Review:
The gem of (going into an Essex girl accent)" 'manda!" surely.
Another update and so soon after the last one, hmmmm, could this be guilt Mr Rabbit?
Anyway well done and all that; waiting on the edge of my seat for chapter 18.
Dave.

Getting Baldrick and Essex girls mixed up could lead to some extremely unfortunate life choices.

Review of chapter "Chapter Sixteen" from DaveTurner
Review:
"So Mr Rabbit," he said stroking a furry white caterpillar, "you thought you could make a collection of unfinished stories eh?"
Well, I for one knew you wouldn't do that...no not good ol' jrabbit, not him.
What I'm trying to say is 'YIPPEEEEEEE! Its back!' and I have to say worth the wait. The first paragraph was worth the, rather long, wait all by itself.
Now do you think you could get out another chapter before I die, I'll be 53 next year and I'm getting a bit worried that some of the stories I'm tracking will finish some time after my death!
So keep up the good work and keep writing.
Dave.
Comments from author:
You think you have until next year? You see, what I've yet to tell you is that I've surreptitiously substituted Ian, your beloved white caterpillar, with a robot caterpillar whose fur excretes a toxin when stroked. The toxin causes the stroker to begin experiencing hallucinations of giant greenfly attacks and instils an overwhelming feeling of paranoia and the delusion that all cans deodorant are out to get him...
