Dalek Thay: TEMPORAL ANOMALY DETECTED IN WICKFORD. THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN DETECTED. THE DOCTOR IS THE ENEMY OF THE DALEKS AND WILL BE EXTERMINATED!
Hybrid Dalek Sec: But we are evolving to be better than that. See that the time coordinate is Christmas of Earth year 2024. What does my masterplan say about Christmas?
Dalek Thay: ENEMIES OF THE DALEKS WILL ... BE GIVEN A PRESENT?
Hybrid Dalek Sec: And?
Dalek Thay: ... AND A HOT DRINK AND MINCE PIE.
Hybrid Dalek Sec: That's right.
Dalek Thay: AND THEN THE DOCTOR WILL LOWER HIS GUARD AND WE WILL EXTERMINATE HIM!
Hybrid Dalek Sec: <sigh>
For those who missed the Doctor Who Day event in November, and those who didn't, here's another chance to meet at the coffee shop on Wickford High Street and celebrate International Dalek Remembrance Day (a recognition of the first time that the Daleks appeared on Doctor Who, on 21st December 1963). I've set the start time a bit earlier this time round, as previously when we left at closing time (6pm) we felt we could have carried on chatting for longer...
And, of course, by attending an event today you can gain the December solstice souvenir. Unless you've been caching yesterday and already got it, in which case come along and tell us where you went.
