Mum: Guess what? I've found this great new show. It's on the Sci Fi Channel but Kelly and Mark say it was on ITV or something first. Very surprising, actually, I thought Sky would have picked it up.
Me: Oh? What's it called?
Mum: Sanctuary. It's about this Victorian woman who helps abnormals and she used to be engaged to Jack the Ripper and has his daughter and...
Me: That's the thing you watched with me at Christmas, Mum. The one you thought was fascinating and were really interested in. The one that I've been telling you about for the past two years?!
Mum: I thought that was The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or somethin.
Me: Nope. That was Sanctuary.
Mum: Ah, that's why it's familiar. But it says Amanda Tapping is in the show, which is why I mentioned it, because I know you're a big fan as well. But I can't work out who she's playing.
Me: Helen Magnus.
Mum: What about Helen Magnus?
Me: Amanda Tapping is playing Helen Magnus.
Mum: But it doesn't sound like Amanda Tapping. And I always guess actors based on how they sound. And the accent is far too good - the delicate hybrid...
Me: Mum, I can send you a picture of me stood with Amanda looking like that. It's Amanda Tapping. Trust me.
Mum: But I thought she was involved with that shockingly boring webseries you kept going on about a while back.
Me: That boring webseries is Sanctuary.
Mum: That's called Sanctuary as well? How confusing!
Me: No, Mum.... they turned the webseries into a TV series. It's the same thing. The first three episodes are basically new versions of the webisodes.
Mum: But they were really cool. And the web things were boring. All that stuff about witches and King Arthur.
Me: Have you actually been watching the TV series, Mum?
Mum: Yes. But there's guns. And monsters. And a girl who's kinda like Buffy. None of that boring guy who lives with the plants.
Me: Wexford.
Mum: That's the one.
Me: Mum, that was played by your favourite actor.
Mum: My favourite actor is that lovely chap from Atlantis. The one who signed my DVDs. Paul. He's such a lovely -
Me: Yes, Mum. That's the one.
Mum: Well... I like Sanctuary and I'm very angry that you didn't tell me about it before.
Me: *headdesk*
