I've just found out that Davros is going to be on Dr Who this week. He is my favorite. He made me wet my pants when I was little such are his scary credentials. I can't wait. *Runs around room, flapping arms in wild excitement* Captain Jack is on too, so much male totty and Daleks too, oh joy.
Can you tell that I'm a big fan?
-
I thought Davros was the kebab seller from Harry Enfield's early days.

No, No, Davros has hideous features. (http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/08/08/bobbydavro461.jpg) [:)]

I believe the hemispherical Dalek bumps were originally the floats from ballcocks, (for cisterns etc).
So when Davros or a Dalek appears on screen you can legitimately shout out "what a lot of ballcocks". [:)]
-
No they've always been Sink Plungers
-
whatever happened to reading a good book?
-
No they've always been Sink Plungers
If the hemispheres were the cups from sink plungers they would have a large nipple-like socket where the plunger stick is attached.
I've never seen a Dalek with large nipples, with the possible exception of Anne Robinson. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Theweakestlinkwho.jpg) [:)]
The Dalek bumps are ballcock floats cut in half. The arm/weapon is a sink plunger.
[Plumbers-R-us must have made a fortune when the BBC special-effects boffin paid a visit].
-
I mean that the Daleks are upturned Pepper pots and the implements that they
use to "Ex-Terminate" with are actually Sink Plungers. I am not the only
person, who knows this but it seems that loads of others do too.
Re;Wiki-
Dalek's Physical characteristics
Externally, Daleks resemble human-sized salt or pepper shakers around five to six feet (152 to 183 cm) tall, with a single mechanical eyestalk mounted on a rotating dome, a gunstalk containing an energy weapon (or "death ray"), which can also be fitted with a projectile weapon, and a telescoping robot manipulator arm. In most cases, the manipulator resembles a sink plunger, but Daleks have been shown with arms that end in a tray, a mechanical claw, or other specialised equipment like flamethrowers and cutting torches. Daleks have used their plunger-like manipulator arms to interface with technology, crush a man's skull,the measure the intelligence of a subject,
Also to extract the brainwaves from a man's head (fatal, although it is implied that it doesn't need to be).
Dalek casings are made of a bonded polycarbide material dubbed "dalekanium" by a human in The Dalek Invasion of Earth. The Daleks also use this term for the material.

That picture is of a Dalek with the master - Davros !!
-
The lower half of a Dalek's shell is covered with protrusions — "Dalek bumps" — which are spheres embedded in the casing.
These are described as "sense globes" or sensors

Are you sure this isn't Anne Robinson before her face-lift ? [:)]

I am totally sure because that actor has had a lot prosthetisis done on them. Also didn't I say that about the household implements
yesterday??
PMd you too

I love it when the Daleks suck someones face off with their plungers. The Dalek in our play had tennis balls cut in half and stuck on. We didn't even bother to paint them to add to the naffness.
I thought Davros was the kebab seller from Harry Enfield's early days.
I always get muddled up between the Dalek leader and Kojaks sidekick. He was the really think one.

Kojak's sidekick Stavros was played by Telly Savalas's brother George, (a pseudonym was used in the credits).
This nepotism does rather explain George's role/performance.

Talking about nepotism, did you know that the actress who plays The Dr's daughter is in fact the daughter of Peter Davidson, the former Dr Who, who wore the cricket gear and a stick of celery. I don't think that she is a very good actress and think some underhand casting went on. Even though she is rather beautiful, that can't have swung it as we all know that the Dr Who team bat for the other side.
-

Australia!? [:0]

Or the woman's softball team.
-
I am afraid I have never tested the density of their balls.

the women don't have the ones of which you seem WAY too fond.

Like Virginia Wade? Sue Barker or Billie Jean, Martina Navritalova

Yes. And Bette Stove.

To get back to the original topic, sadly it was a false alarm. It is not Davros that will appear on the next episode of Dr Who *sob* but it is going to be a new Dalek, that will be even more evil than Davros. I think if Davros does return it should be played by Russel T Davros himself!
-

Or Davros "The Cuprinol Kid" Dickinson. Note the change of weapon from plunger to gavel.

What about George Dubya Bush to play the megalomaniac Davros; George is going to be looking for work in a few months,
and he does have previous experience in world-domination. They won't even have to electronically alter his monotone voice.
-
Good thinking. And he must have the requistite plunger because he plunged Iraq into crisis.
-
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!!!
Not only did Davros step out of the shadows with a chilling new metal hand and baby Daleks growing under his Edmund Scissor hands style smock but a normal Dalek goes and exterminates the Doctor on his way to snogging Rose. He then starts to regenerate. Boy they kept that really quiet. Normally the information is leaked out weeks before and the bookmakers put up possible suggestions as to who will be the new Dr. with odds accordingly placed. This time not a hint. Although I preferred Eccleston, I had just got into Tennant and thought he would be a long term Doctor. I'm in Shock.
Funny moments from the show:
Billy Pipers mouth seemed to get wider throughout the episode.
Loved Donna's sex face when she saw Captain Jack.
The Doctor talking to the Rhino Guards in the shadow proclamation.
The Doctor talking so fast about Bees that he got into the Guinness book of records.
The running joke about the ex-priminister.
For the next show:
Go Davros!
-
Can't find out any more info. as the Doctor Who Forum seems to have crashed under the wait of speculation.
-
What do you want to know? I have contacts.
-
Who is going to be the new Doctor, of course. There has been no whisper of a change so I'm really surprised.
-
You really don't know? Let's just say there's nothing to say the Doctor has to be male.
Sussed it yet?
-
There have been rumours that he changes into a woman but I think people will turn off in their thousands if they do that. Don't tell me he turns into his own daughter!!!!?
-
I didn't say that. Ooh... isn't it fun having Terry Nation on speed dial!
-
You really don't know? Let's just say there's nothing to say the Doctor has to be male.

Doc Beaver no have you worked out, which actor or actress is the next person to play the Doctor?
Billy Piper - Rose ? I like the idea of a woman playing that role.
Terry Nation died in the early 1980s
Time will tell, I guess.

Daddy Terry may have died but Baby Terry is still very much alive.
(Incidentally, Daddy Terry died in 1997)

Doesn't he look like Alan Partridge!
-
Terry Nation, well he is Dr. Who royalty. Is his son involved with the new lot then? I'm very, very, very, very impressed. Did I say I was impressed, well I'm more impressed than King Dongs wife on her wedding night.
-
Ok did Terry Nation die in 1997. But what is it about baby T. Nations as he didn't have a family.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Nation
-
Didn't have a family? I don't think his daughter, Becky, would like to hear you say that.
-
Are you questioning the good Beavers honesty?
-
Sorry folks, I'm off to bed, early morning tomorrow.

-
The Nation family hold the rights to the Daleks and, theoretically, have to approve all storylines that involve them.
-
Doc Beaver. How do you know quite so much about Terry Nation, his family, the Daleks and Dr Who? It must be an interesting reason.
-
I've had an interseting career path [:D]
-
So if the doctor does turn into a woman, does that mean Billy Piper (Rose) will have to get her citizenship for Lesbos if she wants to carry on her affair with him/her. I guess we've had lots of man on man action on Torchwood so it would follow that there should be some girl on girl in Doctor Who.
Either that or the Doctor could come back as a horse....mmmmmm interesting.
-
I have just looked at the BBC's site for Dr Who.
We will find out next Saturday, which actor has become the new
(re-generated) Dr Who.
Dr Beaver any tips or insights??
-
I know Rosalind but I can't wait that long and if they intend to change a doctor, I need lots of notice as I get very attached to my Doctors. It took me quite a while to get over the loss of Chris Ecclestone but at least there was a bit of warning before it happened. I keep having a lie down to get over the shock.
Dr Beaver IS pulling our collective legs. He only knows A Terry Nation and not THE Terry. It was quite a convincing leg pull though as that Beaver gets everywhere.

Sharon, I had thought that Dr Beaver was pulling our legs about
THE REAL TERRY after all, he mention anything specific but it
was amusing all the same.
I would prefer the new Dr Who to be a good but not well-known actor, that would be an interesting way to boost their careers.
I have found out that David Tennant will be in 3 Christmas episodes but the
11th Doctor might be a man or a woman or 2 doctors together.
BTW David Morrissey or James Nesbitt or Rose ................. ??
-
Hate James Nesbitt, hate,hate and double hate. I'd quite like the blonde one from spooks, although the Doctor needs to be quirky and not classically handsome. I'd make a good Doctor!
I doubt it would be Rose but it might be that dreadful Doctors daughter woman. I hope not she can't act for a toffee. I am so worried that they are going to mess about with a formula that works and that I'll hate it.

Sharon, do you mean Keeley Hawes?? Matthew Macfaddyen? He is okish.
-
Don't know but he was on Top Gear last night and I thought ooh, I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
-
OK finally managed to get onto the Doctor Who website and they reckon the regeneration is going to go wrong and the Doctor splits into two doctors!!!! They quote Dalek Caan calling him the three fold man and think that he will split in two and his clone daught Jenny will make three. Personally, I don't think I'm quite as insane as they are!
-
Dr Beaver any tips or insights??
Graham Norton
-
Russel T Davis doesn't fancy him.
-
No wonder Davros is pulling a face in that picture, looks like he's found something surprising with his left hand!!
-
OK, been on the crazy Who website again. Remember the severed hand in the jar. The one that was chopped off just after Eccleston became Tennant and Tennant grew a new one. Well, the Who fans reckon that when the Doctor regenerates, his body will become the new doctor and the hand will grow a new David Tennant body. This makes two Doctors. Neat!
-
What about the idea of the 2 of Dr Who's companions putting their forces together and dieing as we know time will tell.
-
Can the doctor be a woman?
The books and storyline require a Time LORD for a reason.
-
There was a time Lady at one point. I think I would make a good time lady or just a "Good Time Lady."
-
Two David Tennants and Captain Jack, my cup runneth over. A bit annoyed that they didn't kill off the annoying Martha Jones and we will have to put up with her on Torchwood.
I will really miss Catherine Tate as the assistant as she was very funny and worked well with David T. I thought Mr Bleach did a very good Davros and I hope he will return soon.
So the question now is "Who will be the new assistant?" I'm glad David Tennat staid on but he won't be able to do that again in a hurry. That hand was very handy.

She is a female but as the Dr's new assistant? Also she is the
great-granddaughter of Herbert Asquith, a former UK Prime Minister.

Her dad was a merchant banker [:I]

Then there may not be a new assistant since the latest episode left him on his own !!

Her facial hair (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-507668/Sweeney-Tash-Helena-Bonham-Carter-forgets-wax-lip-brush-teeth.html) is rather prominent.

Why does his assistant have to be human? It could be a gelatinous blob from planet JimBob.

Stop being cruel to JimBob. He is already playing one of the slyvien!
I'd like to be the new assistant. Perhaps if enough people campaigned for me to be the one, he might come and collect me in his Tardis. Then again pigs might fly.
