That Matoran with a Vahi

I can hardly believe what I've just learned. We've probably all heard of Alastair Swinnerton as one of the co-creators of Bionicle, of course.

...it turns out he was ALSO one of the writers on my favourite TV show from when I was a little kid: the 1996 reboot of the British series The Wombles.

That two of my most key childhood interests had a creator in common is honestly blowing my mind right now.

...I just was rewatching one of the old episodes out of nostalgia, just because, when I saw "Written by Alastair Swinnerton" in the opening credits. And I stopped and went "I know that name, why do I know that name?" I had to look it up, but now that I know...

WOW. That was a connection I never would have made on my own xD
