Did you see the BBC4 repeat of "The Last Soviet Citizen"? It felt like the same applied to cosmonauts too.

Are you secretly a wildebeest?

You're right. I thought the Romans had pinched it (they did adopt other amphi- words), but, no, Latin for "amphibious" is "anceps," according to may almost-50 year old pocket Collins.

Happens to lots of words and phrases: "flashlight" and "in back of" used to be British usages once.

I wonder if that was what they were doing with Softly Softly Task Force too?

Well, it gives me something to joke about.

Well, they've said that, whereas the beaked Sea Devils are "Homo Aqua", Salt and the others with actors' faces are "Homo Amphibia," which is just as taxonomically illiterate, but marginally less bad Latin, as it does use an adjective, even if the gender is wrong.
So there may be some hope.

You've been reading my mind! Unlikely, though, I think.

The announcement for 'The War Between Something or Other and Oh God This is Such a Boring Title' doesn't explicitly mention Sea Devils, just "a fearsome and ancient species [which] emerges from the ocean," so I can still live in hope.

What happens after XMas? Do you have a display where they can All Stand Together?

I didn't know that there was a CSI spin-off dedicated to huge ugly 4-wheel drive cars.

Also, there were regency-styled covers of pop songs in Rogue.

All the songs in Delta and the Bannermen were covers, weren't they?
