Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

The Daleks lost a lot of my respect after I saw the monty python Dalek sketch :)

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

Ok, you've got me there, I know my Monty Python pretty well and I don`t remember a Dalek sketch? I do remember Spike Milligan doing a "Pakistani Dalek" sketch. Can you describe the details of the Python one?

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

Maybe it was a spike milligan one then?? I saw it a long time ago on paramount comedy...

Vaguely.... (it was quite a while ago)

Dalek (with knotted hankercheif hat on) comes into the kitchen holding it's lunch box on an 'arm'

'HELLO I AM HOME DEAR'

the woman talks some to the dalek.... 'did you have a nice day?'

'YES DEAR' that kind of thing.

It more or less destroys the room in a silly um way - ramming stuff each time it talks.

.... Sorry - I guess you had to watch it to appreciate it :(

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

That does sound very much like the Spike Milligan one, although I`m not ruling out the possibility that the Pythons did one as well.

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

I'm glad you've got a better memory than me :)

I did find the sketch as it happens - but I can't play it - it's on a betamax tape :Yikes:

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

IGN are now covering an unconfirmed rumour that there will be announcement today that Christopher Ecclestone is pulling out to be replaced by Paul McGann. They do dismiss the rumour as being unlikely, but if that is true then I think it is going to be a very bad thing.

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

I was rather hoping they would get McGann in to do a regeneration at the start. But no more than that.

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

Now THAT'S impressive :)

If I have any more obscure stuff then I'll be sure to ask here :)

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

I hope it is true.I liked McGann as Dr Who.

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

He was ok in that film, but don`t make the mistake of thinking that it was a Dr Who film ;)

BTW, since this thread already has a very high nerd quotient, I feel it would be remiss of me to point out that the character isn`t called Dr Who, just The Doctor. (I`ll get me coat).

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

I've also got a really good picture of Jo Manning and a dalek - but I couldn't possibly post it here ;) :Yikes:

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

So how old were you when Dr Who began? :)

Re: Wot, no Daleks?
 

-3, give or take a few weeks.

*Edit* I was +3 when the earliest episodes I can remember watching were broadcast.

Look what I just found!!!!
