"These Enemies of Humanity would like to claim the world for themselves." No, this is not about either side in the Iraq War, it's part of the opening of Act I of "Ghosts of Albion", a serialized Friday Flash thingy from BBC-interactive, animated by the people who brought us "Dangermouse", and co-written by the actress behind a dead "Buffy" character (I admit it: I got the link from BuffyFilter). The site's got everything from a profile of Lord Byron's Ghost, to (dare I say it?) a Weblog.
But is the "dramatisation" dramatic or scary or funny or worth going back to every week? IMGUO*, it doesn't get off to as good a start as Ep.1 of "Tales of the Blode", but consider the pedigree... Then again, the BBC did bring us both "Monty Python" AND "What Not to Wear"...

Tuesday Evening Flash Fun: Joel Veitch's Tales of the Blode.
Episode 1
Episode 2: A Trip to the Seaside
Episode 3: Marmot Mayhem
Episode 4: Food Feed Fury
Episode 5: Toad Turmoil
Episode 6: Attack of the Uber-Pea
And, of course, Blode and the Giant Bee.
It's all fairly self-explanatory.
