What do you, the viewer, think?
Daleks invade ABC!
Was watching the ABC comedy Better Off Ted, the episode entitled "The Great Repression," when to my utter amazement, I saw a Dalek!
In the episode, two scientists have a small cleaning robot that cleans spills around their lab. Their company deems it too expensive and orders it to be decomissioned--destoryed. Horrified, the scientist make their way down to a "sub-basebent" where all the company's robots are sent to be stripped of parts, and leaning against the wall, full in the shot, in all of its glory, is a Dalek! I was wildly surprised and amazed. It's only on screen for about 5 seconds, but it is worth it. Just thought I share.
Cheers.
Overview of a shakey time quality wise
David was a good Doctor, no doubt about that. But his fall in his last story made me want to look back over what for me quality wise was both the best of DW and the worst:
David's first season or rather his first story started out fine: CHRISTMAS INVASION: what a way to start, a crashing TARDIS shown on screen crashing, a wacked out regeneration, a Christmas Tree attack, spending a whole story in your robe and doing your best Tom Baker impression: it all really came together and the sword fight was good as was the confrontation with Harriet Jones. Splendid start and great scenes to next times...unfortunately the first thing we got after that as...
NEW EARTH: rubbish. The new TIME AND THE RANI. Rubbish. Almost all of it. Annoyingly sickening Rose/Doctor relationship. Silly ending. Silly villains. Some of it might even be funny. If you squint. Hard. David' is poor in this and he can't really do comedy well.

THE TOMORROW PEOPLE-Secret Weapon

Evergreen Boswell swings a younger boy on a swing attached to a tree by rope. Two other boys watch, one quite older and with longer hair. Professor Cawston pulls up in a car and gets out. In the background is a trailer camp with one trailer and a few trucks and smoke coming out, laundry hanging on a rope and two dogs attached to the back of the trailer. Cawston inquires about her brother Tyso and with the other three boys, Evergreen runs off, yelling back to him, “He’s dying.”
