I think I might have to copy that userpic.... Though it should probably come with a spoiler warning!

I've decided, on reflection, that I really HATE the "My Little Daleks," they just aren't frightening.

I think someone needs to start a Campaign for Real Daleks.

Me too. Daleks that inspire you to hide behind the sofa, not daleks that look like plastic toys.

I do wish you hadn't put the image of Tellytubbies and Dr Who in my mind - because of all the alien lifeforms the Doctor has encountered...

Ditto. Have just had unsettling vision of fans rushing away to write Teletubby/Dalek slash.

"The day" in question was 1997, and a time that became strangely influential in the history of geekery, big orange dot-com fiascos and a young hopeful named Charlie Brooker.
