It's clearly the first time you knew about it from the wording on your original post.

Looks like the Daleks are featured in the upcoming 'Lego Batman Movie'

Besides i'm not interested in a Lego movie and wouldn't bother with a trailer so it would take evidence such as your pic for it to register.

Horror of Fang Rock (1977)

But, with all due respect, back in November, you were questioning whether it would be happening

Will Doctor Who be in The Lego Movie 2?

I just posted confirmation that the Daleks are in the trailer

And i said that your post was the first proof i'd seen of it.

But you clearly said i should have known they were in a trailer from December which suggests you did so why didn't you post any evidence of it back then? Answer, because you couldn't cut and paste any pics from elsewhere until you saw it today on here Doctor Who Latest News, Videos & Image Galleries | Doctor Who

You are seeming ultra pedantic today, hope everything's okay.

This is a really boring way to start the day.

Well.....


I watched that The Ark again, easily one of my favourite WH stories.

Read the first five chapters last night and am really enjoying it so far.

I'd been led to believe that it was the inclusion of the werewolf style Primords that were included late on, as it was felt there wasn't a traditional enough style ' monster' in the story.

In any case, this 7 parter is gripping from start to finish. Apart from the scary part - infected Primords, the parrallel universe is a blast and the climactic scenes of the burning up alternate earth are incredible. I never tire of watching this one.

Now The Mind of Evil from the following season...that's brilliant!

I know The Ambassadors Of Death has its critics, but I love it. It makes a change to have an alien race that doesn't want to invade / conquer Earth, but instead is being unwillingly manipulated by corrupt Earthlings. I love the slow moving, faceless astronaut aliens, accompanied by really creepy music. And the 'gun shot' opening titles are wonderful. Again, this one doesn't drag for me. It's arguably the weakest of season 7, but that's no great criticism, as it's got very strong competition!

The Mind Of Evil is enjoyable too, though not a real favourite ( the cliffhanger endings are very repetitive for example ). I haven't watched it since it first came out on dvd, so maybe it's a good excuse to watch it again!

I'm currently two episodes into The Horror of Fang Rock.

To say producer Graham Williams remit was to lighten the mood after the violence and Gothic horror of the Hinchcliffe era, well you wouldn't know it from this or from the equally scary and Gothic Image of the Fendahl which follows two stories later.

Supremely atmospheric and moody, you could say this borrowed a lot from John Carpenter's The Fog however as this was from 77 it was a few years before that film hit our cinema screens. The Horror of Fang Rock is one of my all time favourites.
