Dalek Revamp

[kingandy]

More news on the new Doctor Who series - we have pictures of what the redesigned Daleks look like.  Personally I think this a horrific abomination, this change is completely unnecessary - they could easily have just stuck with the old designs.  Fucking travesty, raping my childhood...

SPOILERS.  Here and here.

On a related note:  I'm liking this Promo material.  Smooth.

Isn't it obvous? Those rivets! The crenellations! The attention to detail and quality workmanship! It's disgusting!

Oooo. Get her. (Clutches handbag).

Leave me alone. I don't feel well.

Aw. You knows I loves you.

Big manly hug.

That's better.

They still have the plunger thing though!? Thought those would've disappeared as they don't seem too functional for anything (apart from unblocking loos maybe).

Doe anyone remember some comedy programme that had a 'camp daleks' sketch? What was it?! It's driving me mad!

[kingandy]

There was a Spike Milligan show (one of the "Q" series) that had a sketch with Daleks in it. Was that it?

[jacob-xiii.livejournal.com]

Nope - it was a comedy series with the 'Camp Daleks' as a semi-regular sketch on it. They had handbags on their plungers. The show was sort of similar to, I dunno, Absolutely maybe? I think it was from the early to mid-nineties. Had no look on google - camp and dalek just brings up regular Doctor Who links....

[kingandy]

Ah - Googling for "Camp Daleks", on the other hand, brings up only a few entries, in association with Victor Lewis Smith. It rings a bell, it could have been "TV Offal" or "Inside Victor Lewis-Smith" .... Ah ha! TV Offal.

Probably the most controversial of TV Offal's regular features is the Gay Daleks: "They're camp ! They exterminate ! Better watch your backs ! It's the Gay Daleks !" You either feel that the sketches are crude, tasteless and offensive, or they're a splendid parody of both the Daleks and of gay cultural stereotypes; late night Channel 4 viewers (on the whole) would interpret them as the latter which is probably just as well given the content.

Yay, go you! That's it! They shot 'white wee wee' at the end of the sketches if I remember rightly.

... on an entirely unrelated note, I feel I should mention how deeply hot that icon is.

Cheers! ;oD I think I look better in greyscale than IRL.
