A true Radio 2 Simon Bates moment if ever I saw one.

God, what a floozy!

You're terrified?!!! I'm thinking about the poor hamster you're about to eat in that sandwhich! What's poor little Hammy ever done to you, eh? Now, put the poor little guy back in his cage and let him sleep.

45wpm comes in damn handy sometimes!

Ok, ok. . here goes a crash course in "Dr Who for the Uninitiated". 1. Dr Who is an alien. He is a Time Lord from the planet Galifrey. 2. Every so often during his lifetime he regenerates. A nifty idea bought about by the need to periodically change the actor who plays the character. 3. Dr Who travels through space and time in his spaceship called the TARDIS. This stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. His spaceship, cunningly disguised as a 1960's Police telephone box is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. That's where the "relative dimensions in space" thing comes from. 4. Dr Who travels to different planets in different times, usually meeting nasty aliens hell bent on planetary or universal destruction and or armageddon. Look up Daleks, Cybermen, Autons, Sea Devils and The Master amongst others. The Master was an evil Time Lord who tried to kill the Doctor. Think that just about sums it up. Hope that was helpful. 5. Dr Who always travels with at least one companion. This is where Billie Piper comes in in the new series.

Hey, don't knock being a geek! Don't must of us here live in Major Geekdom, a little town on the internet superhighway, just north of J11 on the big server in the sky? . . .(hums "That's where I'm gonna go when I die")

Good God! How old are you, Dom?! Even I can only just about remember the original. I can't think of any of the actors names who were in it though.

Finally something David and I agree on! Robe, since you seem to have the all important inside knowledge, can you confirm if the Smash robots above, Cybermen or not, are to be seen in the new series?

This is the photo that was on AOL.

Who is this person?

I know they're not Cybermen! Doh! I've seen a photo of the new series Cybermen, and they look like the robots from the old Smash adverts! There was a feature on my AOL browser with photos of the Doctor's new enemies.

I have to admit that when I went to my first con, I was amazed that I had to pay for signatures. Now that I've stumped up a good couple of grand over the last few years, it seems stupid to have ever expected to get signatures for free.

And when the g*ts go cancelling their two best guests and then get a bit shirty when you want to swap your tickets around it doesnt help either. Hasnt given me a whole heap of faith in our American friends, makes me appreciate SM et al all the more The lesson here is never buy your tickets beforehand, especially not gold, when you can buy them on the day if and when you decide it's worth going. Personally, I have no sympathy for people who bought gold tickets for this event. I actually got my money back from Creation for their first London show in 2003. If you write them a snotty enough e-mail you might get lucky. However, where as I had them bang to rights for failure to disclose important information, it does say on their website that guest appearances are subject to work commitments. Yes, Creation are a stropy bunch of w*ankers who put on very expensive and very lacking in content shows. But you have to turn the tables on them in whatever way possible when they screw up.

Have just seen the last 15 mins. It improved slightly with some decent special effects, but was still a bit cliched. We shall see. . . . .

And why oh way do the Cybermen now look like the robots from the old Smash potato tv ads?!! They look laughably crap!
