Question...
Just how scary is this?
Especially (shudder) this. :-/
For some reason they remind me of Doctor Who baddies. I can see an army of them descending on the Doctor and Rose. Led by... er... Cassandra probably.
P.S. On the Who front I know what that one piece of the TARDIS that wasn't broken in the crash was for.
Think about it: they crash randomly through dimensions and end up in a London where the first thing they see is a poster for Rose's dad, who just happens to be intimately tied up with Cybus industries; and where Mickey's double just happens to be the leader of the rebels.
That glowy bit that was still working must have been the improbability drive, Douglas Adams probably left it there when he was helping write the show! Still, incredible coincidences are par for the course with Doctor Who, and I loved this episode anyway. :-)
Spoiler for next week: Mickey is turned into a cyberman, (but it's okay because Ricky becomes his "replacement" in the series). However, Mickey's conversion to metal monster goes a bit wrong and he ends up as a kind of bumbling wisecracking robot with strange powers who unaccountably says "boogie boogie!" a lot. The Doctor takes pity on him and drops him off to be cared for by a typical Eighties family, where he is renamed "Metal Mickey", in a bizarre retro-spinoff twist.
Some of the above spoiler may not be true.

I'm not having much luck with Dr.who at the moment, i missed the week before's episode and this week the video recorder didn't record the last 5 minutes! aarrghh! the crys of frustration where heard for miles around when that happened!
the one at the top of this page seems to be a dead ringer for Eddie Izzard.....
And I think what was still powered in the Tardis had been left behind by K9 a few episodes ago...damn dog poo!
Our transatlantic cousins have a saying for this kind of thing, "Jeez, that's some weird shit you got going on there!". Then again, who am I to judge? After all, "People who live in glass houses..."
Dr. Who is on at a different time (again) tomorrow - 6.35pm
