The Doctor Who Thread

The Daleks as seen in their very first story - 1963's The Daleks.

When initially broadcast the story was known as The Mutants by the production team. However the name was changed to The Daleks in the 70's to avoid confusion with the Jon Pertwee story of the same name.

It's certainly the same location where shooting has been happening

Sneer if you want, but that is definitely the car park by Stokes Bay in Gosport

**EDIT - Apparently it is a fan thing, made by someone who wanted to get a picture of it with Jodie

So the pic of K9 is definitely a car park in Gosport?

Are you having a laugh? There's nothing to distinguish it from any other bit of tarmac.

Believe me, it is

Stokes Bay car park was just over the road from Bay House School, which is where I spent most of my time between 1979 - 1984, and I spent many a fun afternoon, sitting in the car park, looking out at the Isle Of Wight, thinking about the Maths and PE lessons I was missing!

Even now, I can identify every single stone that was in and around the car park!!

You are really taking the mickey now aren't you?

In all that time - 34 years since you sat looking at the car park - you don't think perhaps it might have been resurfaced?

Anyway as you've said it was a hoax.

Whispers on Twitter that missing episodes news could be incoming... As always, believe it when you see it, but it looks interesting.

EDIT: Forget it, much ado about nothing, as usual!

There's the new dvd announcement next week in DWM. Wonder if that will be leaked before next Wednesday when i get my copy delivered?

Apparently the kerfuffle was about confirmation that there were separate Aussie prints of some of the missing episodes or something. But not that they've actually found any.
