This was another jump and down screaming success [ugotmail]

I had tried writing to Alan Bennion, who played the Ice Warrior leader in 3 of the 4 classic Doctor Who Ice Warrior stories, at the old BBC address back in 2010. I lucked across a different address on another website, which hadn't had a success since 2007, and decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did!

On 7/30, sent 2 printouts, LOR, self-addressed envelope, and 3 IRCs to:

Alan Bennion
c/o Pelham Associates
9-12 Middle Street
Brighton
BN1 1AL
UK

Today (2 weeks from US to UK and back!), rcvd both printouts signed, a really nice handwritten letter, and 2 of my IRCs back (I've never had anyone send those back):

Slaar, from "Seeds of Death," printout:

Izlyr, from "Curse of Peladon," printout:

This TOTALLY made my week!!

Note the postcode is missing a digit - it's actually BN1 1AL. Thought ther's no mention of Bennion on their website, this news is good enough for me. Off to the printerssss.
