I love the persistent idea that Daleks roll along on a big ball bearing, like giant Rolykins. Anyway, have a Trod (key in Vworp! Vworp! Volume 4).

"It's the end... but the moment has been prepared for." I was eight when Tom changed to Peter and I really wasn't happy. I knew there were other actors to play the Doctor but I'd never seen a regeneration before. It didn't take long for me to warm to the 5th. Another fully painted Post-It Note.

The whole thing still seems like a bit of a fever dream. Vague subplots that come and go. Characters shifting from episode to episode. Colin Baker giving it his all when most of the production team are going through the motions. A perfect time capsule of the BBC in 1986.

Went with The Impossible Astronaut for this month! One of the most memorable scenes to happen on a beach, in my opinion, and it's a great opening episode to a series. So many plot points being set up!

BBC iPlayer screenshot, titled, "Doctor Who (2005-2022) Series 6: 1. The Impossible Astronaut". The photo shows Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor, leaning on a car, wearing a stetson and looking unhappy. The description says, "Amy, Rory and River mourn the Doctor but are soon plunged into an adventure with President Nixon and the Silence!"
