After discovering an old crumbling yellowed map tucked away in a volume in my Royal library, I begin my preparations for my More to follow soon!

As ancient civilisations are thought to survive in our hollow Earth I decided to take a dress with me to fit right in. I have been told that dinosaurs are fairy common down there too. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Three things...
'Fantipodean' is a stroke of offhand genius.
Regarding the whiole 'lost Dr Who' thing - would it be such a good thing if everything lost was rediscovered? Not just Who, but any series/film/book - is it just me, or is the imagining of what it might be much better than the real thing? Isn't the real thing sometimes a letdown after all that anticipation and imagining? My own example: Get Smart is a cracking series, but I didn't see it here until the 80's, whereas I read several of the books in the 70's when they turned up in a newsagent as cheap paperback ballast stock. As a result, the series was a let down as it was nothing as wild as the pictures in my head from the books. Sometimes its better left unseen/read. (I actually readjusted mentally to Get Smart and came to appreciate it eventually, mind you)
Mick Mercer - what a lovely bloke he was. What's he up to these days?
Steve - please have Julian & Sandy meet ST Joshi - that'll put him in his place.
That was four things...

There are fungus forests down there, does anyone have a handy guidebook on the edible ones?

As I'm so beautiful I expect the lost civilisations I will encounter will want to make me their queen. I've packed this exotic costume just in case. Does anyone know what sort of languages these lost civilisations might speak? I'm counting on the fact that if they have any degree of higher culture they will know a primitive form of English.

If you're planning a trip to the hollow Earth, please don't forget the two most essential items to take with you...a strapping Icelander and a pet duck. Note that in the absence of appropriately strapping fellows from the conquerors of England, it is permissible to substitute a Scandanavian--the blonde one from ABBA would be my choice, but you may feel someone more masculine would be best for your situation.

I'm partial to a Viking, and I am somewhat disappointed that they have never really taken up rugby union.

I have been informed that dress requirements for ladies in Pellucidar involve mild titillation for beastly male voyeurs, due to a lack of feminism. As a suffragette I shall of course change all this when I become queen. While bathing in the mushroom forests I shall take extra care.

They did but the horns on their helmets kept puncturing the ball, so they were substituted for Italians, who brought pizza, so the poor old Vikings never stood a chance.

I have been informed by the ancient map that there is a sun at the centre of the Earth, which just goes to prove my belief that our actual Sun is much smaller than Science tells us, and is actually only five miles away.
