Lost Doctor Who and the Daleks episodes discovered in 'ramshackle' collection

The Doctor's assistant Peter Purves was invited to a screening of the episodes in Leicester.

OH MY GOD??

[penny-anna]

[penny-anna]

[swordlet]

Peter Purves, who played the Doctor's assistant Steven Taylor, was invited to the Phoenix Cinema in Leicester on Wednesday under false pretenses to view the two episodes, and he said: "My flabber has never been so gasted."

My flabber has never been so gasted.

Daleks Master Plan was broadcast once in the UK in 1965/66 and then never again bcos it was never picked up for overseas broadcast. there were 2 copies known to exist total. this is genuinely incredible news I knew we were getting a missing episode return but I can't believe it's actually DMP oh my god

when you ask a knowledge keeper something and they say "good question"

[lily-stabby]

So imagine a DnD character who’s whole motivation is ‘X guy killed my parents and I need to find them’ and the party just thinks ‘ok, revenge quest, that’s normal’

But when they finally find the guy the person with dead parents is just like “Hey buddy, long time no see. It’s a shame we got separated, here’s some money” and they’re super chill.

The party is just confused and goes “Wait, why are you giving him gold?”

The guy just goes “Cause I owe him money?”

The party “But he killed your parents???”

“That’s why I owe him money!”

What I love about this is that it implies that the assassin, for whatever reason, was forced to skip town before collecting what he was owed, and this guy full-on went on a quest to track him down and pay him. Like.

Assassin: You know most times if I get run out before collecting, people are just, yay, now I don’t have to pay him! Some of them even arrange to put heat on me just so they can weasel out.

Dude, with full, paladin-like gravitas: What do I look like, a cheat? A cheapskate? You did me a service, and I can never repay you, but I will honour the debt!

Assassin: … Hey, you ever need anybody else knocked off, here’s my card!

My husband, an electrician, told me I have to reblog this.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

For clarification's sake, is this true everywhere? I ask because I know that different countries have different quality home electricity provision; American home electricity Ain't Great compared with most of Europe, for example. In Wales I have never heard of this being a Thing, but our electricity comes in 240V flavour, so possibly the higher current naturally avoids this issue?

[leonardslee]

My British husband (not an electrician but electrician-adjacent) says yes this is true in the UK as well - anything that uses a lot of power should be plugged directly into the wall rather than an extension lead

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Good to know, thank you!

I love Australian states because we went hogwild naming a couple of them after royalty and then just went fuck it. Geographical description.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"Queensland! Victoria! Uh... the one out West? Western Australia, I guess? The bottom part is ... South... Australia... and the top part can be North..."

"North Australia?"

"I wasn't going to say that! Uh... North... ern... Territory! Now as for this huge island out in the Tasman sea..."

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"So we've made a territory to house the Australian capitol, what should we name it?"

"Oh I've got a great idea."

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

They landed on the East Coast first and immediately exhausted their list of like 2 names

[pseudomasochist]

new south wales is named BECAUSE IT HAD LOTS OF FUCKING COAL. because south wales is famous for its coal beds.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Naming a state after its major export is weird but not unreasonable from explorers seeking to colonise new territories, but naming a state after another place that happens to have the same major export is bonkers.

#at least our geographical names match their geographical regions#we did that part right at least#straya

South Australia is, at best, Middle Australia.

I mean it's certainly not North but if you handed an unlabelled map to someone who didn't know the states and asked them to pick which one they thought South Australia was, nobody would pick this one.

[thefandomstrikesback]

The fucking around formation of the states through the 1800’s always makes me laugh
