ffutures: (Dalek 2)
[personal profile] ffutures
My most interesting Xmas gift so far has been a copy of The Dalek World, a 1965 annual by Terry Nation and others. I suspect that my niece paid considerably less than they're asking for here:

I owned a copy when I was 13 or so, but it was exterminated or was otherwise lost many years ago.

Doctor Who was fun, and was a nice take (I suspect possibly the last one they'll do) on the Doctor/River relationship. No spoilers!

Agreed. Did you spot the line of dialogue that Steven Moffatt took (though tweaked a little) from "The Importance of Being Earnest"?

River echoes Gwendolyn when she says that she keeps a diary because she likes to have something sensational to read. (IIRC, Wilde's version ends "... on train journeys", but that obviously wouldn't have been appropriate.)
