Dalek Randomly Found, Dredged Up from the Bottom of a Marsh

 

 

Here's something you don't find in most marshes when you're mucking about: the head of a Dalek from Dr. Who. Marc Oakland was helping to clean a pond in Beulieu, Hampshire, UK, when he stumbled upon the head of Dr. Who's enemy, the Dalek. Apparently, there was some filming done for the show in the 80s in the area, and the head was left behind.

Info Wanted: Walt Disney presents the story of... (Albums) - has anyone preserved them?

Probably the only way you'll be able to get this is to personally track down the individual records on Ebay and preserve them yourself.  I used to have a few of these too.   Strange thing is that the only one I distinctly remember is Peter Pan, which isn't on your list.  Is that a complete list?  Then again, this is coming from a fuzzy childhood memory.  :)

I think "Peter Pan" was part of another series on that same label. I'm still tracking down info on how these were all released.  Some titles use the films original audio soundtrack, and others re-recorded them with different voice actors. I would like to start out by obtaining the albums based on the most popular animated films. The ones that used a newly recorded narrator, but keep the original film's audio, music, and effects track.

  Mind your own darn business, Doctor whoever you are!

perhaps you have never watched Dr. Who?

 

I was just trying to be humorous. And yes, I have seen "Doctor Who". Not to name drop or anything, but I was a personal friend of Patrick Troughton's for a number of years before his death.  I've also attended a private dinner with Mr. Troughton, John Nathan-Turner , and Colin Baker in New York City in 1984. I had worked for a AM/FM radio station in New Jersey in the 80's, and would have lots of the Creation Convention guests over to the station for promotions and interviews when they would come over. Because of a mix up with transportation, the creation people did not have a nice car to drive Patrick Troughton to his hotel from the station. I had my parents town car and offered my services. On the drive, I had some wonderful conversation with him and we stayed in contact for the few years before his death.  I met with him 3 more times in the United States and once on my trip to London.

One of the most wonderful people I have ever met.  His autograph in my "Doctor Who: a Celebration" hardcover book is one of my most prized possessions.

I vote NO.

 

What if the Daleks's historic rampage of murder had in fact stopped a number of potentially worse and much more harmful beings from coming into existence? If not for the Daleks's, these other foes may just have grown up to cause  the universe much more destruction then the Daleks would have ever done if they had been left alone.  I think they call it  "The Butterfly Effect".  I am sick of people involving themselves in other peoples lives (and death).  Mind your own darn business, Doctor whoever you are!

R.I.P. Maury Chaykin (Dies at Age 61)
Time

"I've just pissed in my pants... and nobody can do anything about it."

Jul 27, 4:36 PM EDT

Canadian actor Maury Chaykin died early Tuesday morning--the day of his birthday, the Associated Press reports. His manager, Paul Hemrend, said the longtime character actor died at a Toronto hospital with family surrounding him.

Mark McKinney, a producer on Chyakin's most recent HBO Canada series, said the actor died following kidney problems.
