It's part of John Peel's analogies to "Lord of the Rings" you see...
when the humble Strider Dalek rises up and reclaims his rightful place
in Dalek Continuity as the Dalek Prime. This is all over the struggle
for Skaro, y'see. For it was written:
Three companions for the pilot under the sky,
Seven Docs for the BBC in their castings of stone,
Nine episodes for Cybermen doomed to die,
One for the Dalek Prime on his dark throne
In the Land of Skaro where the Shadows lie.
One Emperor to rule them all, One Prime to find them,
One Supreme to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Peel where the Shadows lie.

For some reason when I read "and all his madcap plots..." this jumped

And now for something completely different - Doctor Who and the Pink

SCENE: Reception of the Skaro Sheraton, a small Bavarian B&B. Davros is
manning the desk, and a small Renegade Dalek is standing in one corner.
Enter the Doctor, who books a room from Davros, then notices the dalek.
DOCTOR: "Does your dalek shoot people?"
DAVROS: "No."
The Doctor goes and pats the dalek on the head.
DOCTOR: "Hello there, little fellow -"
DALEK: "EXTERMINATE!"
Badly singed, the Doctor staggers back to Davros.

Just discovered in the files of the BBC, it's the unused final pages of the
last chapter of THE EIGHT DOCTORS! I think this says it all, really.
As she followed the Doctor out of the old console room and towards the new
one, Sam put on her best Bogart accent.
"Doc, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!"
The Doctor nodded. "Indeed it could..." He paused, looking at this young
plucky new companion that he was saddled with. "But first, let me show you
this." He opened a white-roundeled door and gestured Sam inwards. "The
Pudding Room."
Sam gasped. "Doctor... that's a lot of pudding."
The Doctor grinned. "Two-hundred and forty american dollars worth of pudding."
"Worth of pudding?" echoed Sam.
"Aw yeah," replied the Doctor.
"You could've gotten a hundred dollars worth of pudding, and that would've
been a lot of pudding," Sam argued.
"But we had to go all the way... all the way home, baby," the Doctor
grinned, pulling off his jacket. "Two hundred and forty dollars worth of
pudding." Throwing his jacket into the corner, he continued. "Now excuse me
while I kiss the sky."
As the Doctor began to rub his ass in the pudding, Sam knew that this was
the beginning a beautiful friendship indeed.

This only displays your ignorance of Late Kaled (LK) culture.
Although we have lost most of the records of the LK era, files
recovered from a defunct orbiter do indicate that the concept
of the hamburger was unknown to the Kaleds and this is at
least partially confirmed by compound testing at various non-skaroisan
Kaled sites. (see ref 1).
Instead the most widely supported theory is that the common
convenience food in both the Middle Intermediate Kaled (MIK)
and the Forenzi Integrenum (FI) and the Late Kaled period was
a sausage made from processed *non* bovine meat which is
believed to have been called 'thorosch' (MIK) thorgoch (LK).
(see ref 2)
Therefore the closet that I can render your sentance in Late
Kaled is *Kachme ohn thorgoch dachblah' lit: render bun with
sausage in to my person'. It should be noted that this sentance
must be spoken in the martial/imperative tone scale placing emphasis
on the 2nd sylabal of each word and with a coughing indicitive
at the end of the sentance.
I hope this helps you.

The editing is bloody awful. God it stinks. I mean, the cuts are too
rapid most of the time, the colour correction's non-existant and I
dread to think what the video levels are. And the sound's been badly
mixed too. The editor obviously thinks Doctor Who is some kind of 70s
homage but with trendy fast cutting. And how dare he put in a
convincing split screen effect, we all know you should be able to see
the join in Doctor Who. Then there's that three stage crash cut zoom
on the Cyberman around 15 minutes in, what was he thinking of? That's
not what Doctor Who's about.
Film effect! Film effect!! 14:9 (ish)! WHAT'S GOING ON? This editor
obviously has no idea what fan videos are all about and I therefore
damn the film into the lowest pit of hell with the assistance of Rev
Dechon. Where it shall burn eternal.
There is a story and acting as well and the film has been directed but
I'm not interested in that.

Dave Stone decided to provide a recipe in his book. Therefore, I've
decided to provide a recipe for a Dave Stone book. This recipe will
be written in Dave Stone style rather than Margaret Fulton, partly to
preserve the feeling of suspense, partly to sincerely flatter Mr
Stone, but mostly because I couldn't be ARSEd to do it any other way.
*Note: This recipe was written by a professional stunt typer. Do not
attempt to type this without full wrist and callus supervision.
HOW TO COOK A STONE
Start to half-bake your cliches - at least one per person. These
should, for preference, be as noticeable as possible - you don't want
anyone to miss them. Turn the knobs up on these as far as they will
go.
Your setting should be reasonably enclosed. Make sure that nothing
too big should be able to get in or out for most of the time - say,
nothing larger than half a gnat's testicle. This allows all the
elements to become purified. Chuck in a large dollop of angst,
pathos, bathos, and any other athos's you may have lying around.
Athos is an acquired taste, so smother them with some ripe puns.
Round about now you should start thinking about your cliches again.
Give them a fair bit of reasoning - thyme is nice, as is sage. Don't
bother too much, though, as all you really need to set them off is an
all powerful controlling being(or body, if you're short on beings).
Chuck these into the settings, allowing the being to sink deeply into
the angst and athos while the cliches float around on top. You may
also want to explode a prekodravac in there somewhere.
Serve in an open-topped hyperactive blender while lightly pickled,
preferably by a bananananana dakkery. It's absolutely scrumptious.
On a scale of 1 to Z, I'd have to give this pi stars.
And now, as an encore, a couple of other quick hints...
If you're cooking Ormans, remember to stick in at least two
groenewegens, and maybe a mel or two. Characters can be killed, but
for preference, make them all at least three dimensional and torture
them lightly first.
As for Mortimores, I'd suggest avoidance. If you must, however, then
get a whole bunch of cardboard cutouts, tear them into little bits,
boil them in oil and then jump on them until they've had enough. Then
think of something even more horrible to do to them. By now, they
should be dead, soggy, and have lost all point altogether.

coming soon from Kasterboris productions
William Pfister, Justin Storey, Christopher Sanner, and Nicholas Kaine in
a film by Oliver Runcible Rassilon Stone
FURRY FROM THE DEEP
It was a red fluffy "Tickle Me Zygon". But Frankie's parents thought it
was inappropriate for a boy his age, so they buried it in a local
minefield. Needless to say, the doll was miffed. Two years later a bomb
sniffing dog on a lunch break dug a hole to bury a bone in, revealing the
doll. The doll spooks the dog, activates all the mines in the field, and
begins to wreak havoc on the lives of the family that abandoned him,
especially the boy who didn't stop his parents from doing this outrage.
While he's at it, the doll decides to destroy the entire town.
In a last ditch effort to stop the carnage, two experts are called in. One
is a professional exorcist who has fought this particular force for over
two hundred years. The other one is a paramilitary advisor with a fondness
for British candy who may be in league with the "Furry".
This film contains violence, death, destruction, and general carnage. It
is rated G.
