It's rights issues, I'm sure, because the same episodes are unavailable on Britbox and are somehow the only ones that takedown notices on stuff like Youtube. The Nation Estate sees a Dalek episode streaming out there somewhere and it gets EXTERMINATED.

Forcing a Dalek to watch TV for thousands of years until it cares about the characters and develops opinions sounds like something someone in the Doctor Who universe would have tried at least once.

Haha, why, what's wrong with the continuation of Class, featuring some new classic characters? Next up from Big Finish: the Australian K-9 combines with a continuation of the Zygon porno, written by Philip Martin and Joseph Lidster. It comes free in the middle of every Main Range purchase!

Why, you ask? Why? Why....?

Wellllll, let's just say that every time you torrent one of our stories, we'll make another one. We can make your favorite Doctor read for it, too, even Eccleston. It's the easiest thing in the world. We have the lunches. Tom has already said that he'll read the filthier version of the Rosie Ball thing, but as the actual Fourth Doctor, while yelling "This is canon!" and all we had to do waft the mustard toward him.

Classic doctors, all new stories. Have you considered purchasing Graceless? Have you reconsidered?

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
Reading this thread reminded me of the time I was at a scifi convention in the shopping centre in Milton Keynes. A little old lady was creaking very, very slowly past the edge of the whole thing, oblivious, and a Dalek was slowly following her, singing in its Dalek voice the music from Formula One. It was brilliant.
I also saw said Dalek assure a small child that it wouldn't exterminate his father right then, because Daleks also respect Bank Holidays.

I’ve been to that con! It’s so bizarre, just plonked in the middle of a mall, no barriers or roping off. You can wander from buying shoes to saying hello to Colin Baker in 12 seconds.

Telling Nick Briggs, while he signed it, that I had fried mine was one of the saddest moments of my life. The local shop... said they couldn't fix it! :negative:

I'd already had the mini version for a while, which he seemed unfamiliar with, and it's been a permanent part of my guitar rig. I should send the full-size one off to Moog to see if they can do anything with it... wonder if they'll understand the signature.

the Moog "factory" (more like a workshop, really) does facility tours twice a day, and i told the guy leading the tour that "the guy who does the Dalek voices in Doctor Who uses one of these". his response was "uhh that's cool, i don't know what that is"
