That would be a good link back to the past; Zebedee Tring was a road worker & friend of Jethro Larkin’s father. The name ‘Zebedee’ always makes me think of character from the 89-90 series Tugs. A big, Scouse accented tugboat. #TheArchers

The Paradigm Daleks had two models built in the end; a ‘hunchbacked’ one with bright colours and a thinner one with metallic colouring. What are your thoughts on the different designs? #DoctorWho #DW

The Drone Paradigm Dalek.

I’ve listened to a Doctor Who audio featuring the Judoon and I’m now watching their appearance in The Sarah Jane Adventures. On closer inspection the Judoon Captain costume seems more flexible than I once thought but still rather heavy.

Hello @doctorwhoprophunt.bsky.social (& @zoesfeatherboa.bsky.social) I think I’ve got a reused bit of costume for you to look into: I only noticed when looking at some action figure pics that both some Sycorax & some Sibylline seem to sport similar u-shaped bones on them. What do you think?

So imagine this: These are TV modern Daleks and they’ve got this Grand Torturer. He’s a borderline ancient grey Dalek of the kind used for the majority of the Classic series after ‘Day of the Daleks’- one of the very first off the production line actually. He veers between…. 1/4

Ok then! I like making ‘mental fanfics’ of Dr Who, and this one is very complex with the Sontarans only being one part of it. I’ve been thinking of many names for them (some made of random sounds, others based on previous Sontaran names). One name is taken from a DS9 one-off alien; but who???…

An interesting discovery I’ve made: Brooklyn Nine Nine shared not one but too actors with…Doctor Who!! Archie Punjabi played Lt. Singh who Boyle nearly hooked up with and later became The Rani in the closing episodes of RTD2. Eric Roberts played The ‘Bruce’ Master and Jimmy ‘The Butcher’ Figgis.

Ok. So I was watching a Dr Who episode a few weeks ago and I couldn’t help noticing that some explosive devices look a little bit like microscope parts. I’ve got a long memory and I *think* I can remember you saying you use to work in a science lab; do those look like 🔬parts to you?

One interesting thing I’ve noticed about the Paradigm Dalek is that the eyestalk pivot is a ball-joint rather than a wheel or a gear like a standard Dalek. I wonder if it was meant to move like a ball instead of simply up and down as it eventually did?? #DoctorWho

A Slade head from CBBC’s Mission: 2110 is used when the costume appeared, guess where? As an Ultramancer on Ahkhaten (and Wembley’s collection on Hedgewick’s World)! This version is later used when Red Dwarf needed a Mercenoid for ‘Can of Worms’. Quite the costume! 2/2

md05.bsky.social @md05.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Thanks. Now looking at Sky on Iplayer; the lower half the head is definitely a flexible prosthetic. Judging by the way both sides are designed I’d say the head is an original. For the record… The rest of the costume is a Necromonger uniform for the Chronicles of Riddick (which one I don’t know). 1/

Please can we have someone’s thoughts on this Metalkind from The Sarah Jane Adventures. The main body of the costume came from The Chronicles of Riddick but for later appearances a head from a CBBC show was mounted instead. I’m wondering where the 1st came from, does it look familiar to anyone??

It seems that bits of the Servo-Robot from ‘The Wheel in Space’ were used in several other latter-day Troughton stories. (I had to use Internet Archive due to my own…mess). One of the SR’s pincers is later put on a Quark while either the same pieces or same material as the…. 2/?

It's a shame, therefore, that we learn so little about it. Later developments make it clear that it's operating the rocket on behalf of the Cybermen, rather like the mysterious
'silhouettes' in the first two episodes of 1982's Earthshock (whom the Doctor will also destroy).
It might be that it was already aboard before the Cybermen hijacked the ship - meaning they simply reprogrammed it. However, parts of the robot seem to have been incorporated into both the Quarks (the pincer attachment seen embedded into at least one Quark arm) and the Krotons (short piping arms) - so what if it were the other way round?
What if the Servo was a Frankenstein's monster, created by the Cybermen from bits of
creatures they'd defeated? What if they'd made more of them...?

The Servo-Robot from, note how similar its limbs look to the Krotons’ arms.

It seems the Green houses are somewhat-terraced compacts. There are about 3 bedrooms in each. (No1 below is now Will’s and the topic of this discussion while the photo is of No6, the Horrobin’s). #TheArchers

One of twelve compact houses on The
Green No. 1 was council property until 1991, when Susan Carter persuaded husband Neil that they should buy it. It was in a poor state of repair, but they thoroughly decorated and modernized it, at the expense of some acid comments from Lynda Snell, who thinks their neo-Georgian front door was an error of judgement. With the Carter children, Chris and Emma, growing up, conditions have become increasingly cramped, but on their current income there is little prospect of the Carters being able to move elsewhere.

Good luck in the future then. Although this talk of barrels and drums have reminded me; some Weyland-Yutani drums are used in ‘Paradise Towers’ in the Kangs’ lair. And the Cyberscope in Earthshock is built out of Nostromo parts…and some digital readouts as well.

The Cyberscope prop was built using parts the model maker had scavenged from the Nostromo set constructed for Alien. Similarly, the digital readouts on the device flash up a random series of numbers which were also seen on the monitors of the Nostromo set.
