Thank you!

I kind of thought that "Brimstone" was first, but I 
wasn't 100% sure. So "Tracker" in 2001 um...borrowed
from Brimstone.

I sounds as though "Brimstone" was better. I've got
a couple or three episodes recorded. Maybe I should
re-watch those to refresh my memory.

Nyssa, who remembers that John Glover was an especially
devilish Devil in "Brimstone"
