Well
we met for our last November date around Shaun's to see "Planet of The
Daleks" - a story that carried straight on from the last one. Jason
looked very different at this meeting... Oh hang on! That's not
Jason! That's a GIRL!!? Yes, Jason was ill this day but Leigh's
girlfriend, Jemma, had decided to join us and see what this meet-up
thing was all about.
*Leigh laughs*
Mark: "I refuse to talk when you stretch it out!"
MJ: *Laughing* "That's what SHE said!" *Laughter* "Part One 'Planet - " *Puts on Dalek voice* "'PLAN-ET OF THE DA-LEKS'!" *Laughter* "That'll read well!" *Laughter*
Leigh: *To Jemma* "Wait until he starts singing!"
MJ: *Singing in a Dalek voice to the Doctor Who theme* "PLAN-ET OF THE DA-LEKS!" *Normal voice* "Well, I sound like I'm underwater now!" *Laughter* "That's great for reading." *Laughter* "Episode One!"
*EPISODE ONE GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "So yeah, the big reveal at the end was that there were Daleks there!" *Laughter* "So, for a story called 'Planet Of The Daleks' we were GOBSMACKED!"
*Leigh laughs*
Leigh: "He's spray painted!"
MJ: "Spray painted."
Shaun: "Yeah."
MJ: "Fully revealed but he's deactivated or dead or...."
Leigh: *Checking phone* "Oh Jason is watching along."
*Awws & Cheers*
She wouldn't make that mistake again!!
Anyhow, although ill, Jason STILL joined us by watching along at the same time at us - but from the comfort of his house - under a big blanket! Anyhow this is what went down in groove town....
*******************************************************************************************************
MJ: "By the way, here we are Shaun's. Hooray! I'm recording on the device. We've got no Jason 'cos he's a big, errr, ill idiot! I like the dragon." *Leigh laughs* "That's going to be great for the audio!"
Leigh: "That's a hat."
MJ: "Yes."
Jemma: "WHAT??!"
MJ: "No, it's not a hat!"
Jemma: "That's definitely not a hat."
Leigh: "That's not a hat, no. He (Shaun) DID have a hat that was a dragon..."
MJ: "Well I mean you can put it on your head! And we've also got a Jemma here, that is courting Leigh!" *Laughs* "For the youngsters out there! And we're here to watch 'Planet Of The Daleks' which has a villain in...well, can you guess what villain!?" *Laughs* "Yes, it's the planet! But this continues on from the last times one which was...errr, I've forgot now!"
Leigh: "'Frontier In Space'."
MJ: "'Frontier'! I was going to say 'Colony' but it's 'Frontier In Space', yes. So there you go. And, as I say, Shaun's house everyone's here but Jason and I'm going to pause it there and watch episode one!"
*RECORDING GETS PAUSED BUT THEN STARTED AGAIN*
MJ: "Just talking about Wotzit fingers and Twiglet fingers - I just thought I'd write that in. That's good." *Laughter* "'That is important' Mark just said. I had to repeat that as he's quite quiet and he's right over there! So I'm going to be doing a lot of 'MJ just stretched out the phone to arms length then'."
Anyhow, although ill, Jason STILL joined us by watching along at the same time at us - but from the comfort of his house - under a big blanket! Anyhow this is what went down in groove town....

MJ: "So yeah, the big reveal at the end was that there were Daleks there!" *Laughter* "So, for a story called 'Planet Of The Daleks' we were GOBSMACKED!"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun:
"Add to the fact that that The Doctor KNEW that the Daleks were
involved at the end of the last serial! Which is why he's gone to the
place that he now is!"
MJ: "Yeah. So there you go, but we had an invisible Dalek that got revealed by spray. Jo got infected by some weird fungus thing."
Jemma: "She has fungus fingers now."
MJ: "Fungus fingers - yeah. The Doctor froze, then got better. And.... they're in a jungle where lots of planets are spraying stuff at them. And they've found some - what are they called? Oh, Thals."
Shaun: "Thals, yes."
MJ: "On a planet called Spiridon. Spir (Spear) Of Destiny." *Mark chuckles* "There you go. Oh and Leigh's gone to the loo. Put THAT in MJ!"
Shaun: "Yes! Did I read right, is this a Terry Nation?"
MJ: "Terry Nation. Yep! He wrote this."
Shaun: "He's ACTUALLY come back in the first time in years."
Jemma: "Who is this Terry Nation?"
MJ: "He wrote the first Dalek story - he came up with the idea of the Daleks."
Shaun: "He was a long time Doctor Who writer."
Jemma: "Ooo! I'd never heard of him!"
MJ: "Now he hadn't written one for a long time and when they came back with the last Dalek story, which was 'Day Of The Daleks', he got in touch with them saying 'Hey you're writing a Dalek story. You do know I own the rights to that and you can't do that without me!' and they were like 'Oh sorry I didn't know' and he was like 'Oh no it's fine but I'd like to write one myself' and so he wrote this one - which is the next Dalek story." (I paraphrased that story to heck-fire!)
Shaun: "He'd finally stopped trying to make a comedy spin-off!"
MJ: "Yeah, yeah."
Jemma: "A Dalek-based comedy spin-off?"
Mark: "Yes."
Leigh: "Called 'Look Who's Daleking Now'!"
MJ: "He did do other things in the meantime. He came up with 'Blake's 7', that was a Terry Nation, and a thing called 'Survivors' as well (well, future MJ is going to be a pedant now - 'Blake's 7' ran after this story - from 1978-1981! So did 'Survivors'! That ran from 1975-1977!).
Mark: "Yeah that was Terry Nation."
MJ: "Okay Episode Two - Leigh's back from the loo! That rhymes." *To recording device* "Put that in!" *Laughter* *To Shaun* "Carry on."
Shaun: "Sorry I was waiting to be expressly told! It was demanded I stop it for you, Leigh! So I like to politely wait to get instruction!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Yeah. So there you go, but we had an invisible Dalek that got revealed by spray. Jo got infected by some weird fungus thing."
Jemma: "She has fungus fingers now."
MJ: "Fungus fingers - yeah. The Doctor froze, then got better. And.... they're in a jungle where lots of planets are spraying stuff at them. And they've found some - what are they called? Oh, Thals."

*EPISODE TWO STARTS*
MJ: "There's the Dalek!"
Leigh: "He's spray painted!"
MJ: "Spray painted."
Shaun: "Yeah."
MJ: "Fully revealed but he's deactivated or dead or...."
Leigh: *Checking phone* "Oh Jason is watching along."
*Awws & Cheers*
Shaun: "Could he send us 'The Book' by text?!"
MJ: *Laughs* "Yeah!"
Leigh: "Or we could phone him and he could read it out on speaker phone."
MJ: "Yeah that would be good!"
Shaun: "YES!!! We'll do that!"
MJ: "Okay I'll stop..."
*EPISODE TWO GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "Ten thousand Daleks at the end of Episode Two and we're going to see all of them!" *Laughter* "A MASSIVE fleet! So there's a lady who's just gone there - on a space ship. She told us so." *Reading titles* "Roy Skelton, Westor!"
Leigh: "Roy Skelton it was!" (I had recognised the voice off-tape!)
MJ: "He was the voice of an invisible alien. Me and Leigh recognised him - well, Leigh said 'Is that Roy Skelton'?"
Leigh: "I'm getting better at this!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "And I said 'The voice of Zippy and George!??'" *Laughs* "Why yes! There we go. So that's the end of two episodes there and -"
Jemma: "It's been so fun!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "And apparently there's LOTS of Daleks come along!"
Leigh: "Ten thousand!"
MJ: *Dalek voice* "TEN THOU-SAND!" *Normal voice* "How are you finding it so far Jemma!? Have you ever seen any of these old Doctor Who's?"
Jemma: "I have not - and I know there's a reason for that now!"
*Laughter*
MJ: *Laughs* "Yeah!"
Leigh: "Or we could phone him and he could read it out on speaker phone."
MJ: "Yeah that would be good!"
Shaun: "YES!!! We'll do that!"
MJ: "Okay I'll stop..."
*EPISODE TWO GETS WATCHED*

Jemma: "I have not - and I know there's a reason for that now!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Not really your cup of tea!"
Jemma: "However I don't think this is the best episode to start with."
MJ: "Probably not... although it's not that bad!"
Mark: "It's not that bad actually."
Jemma: "It's a bit....slow."
MJ: "We're quite enjoying it."
Jemma: "And you can't see that alien."
MJ: "Well, they ARE invisible..."
Jemma: "Why?"
Leigh: "'Cos that's cheaper!"
Jemma: "Why did you start me on a stupid invisible aliens!?"
MJ: *Laughing* "I didn't ask you to come around today!!"
*Laughter*
Jemma: "But you invited me around!!?"
MJ: "You said 'Can I'? and I said 'Yes, okay'!"
Jemma: "Well I learnt my lesson there didn't I!!?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "It could have been a lot worse - there's a lot worse ones! You actually picked one that isn't that bad!"
Jemma: "I like George."
MJ: *Laughing*"George! Yes!"
Jemma: "Invisible George." (The character was Westor - but voiced by Roy Skelton - the voice of George (and Zippy) in retro kids TV show 'Rainbow'.)
MJ: "Enjoying this one so far, Mr. Shaun?"
Shaun: "Nope!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Do you want to qualify the 'Nope' with something a little more...?"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun: "I think I've covered it!"
Jemma: "It's not just me. The ungrateful woman in the corner."
MJ: "Wait until Episode Three he'll LOVE that!"
Jemma: "What happens in that one? Have you seen all these before?"
MJ: "Erm, these ones, yes. No I'm joking, I don't know WHAT happens in it!" *Leigh laughs* "It's a long time ago since I've watched it. I watched it once a few years back. So..."
Jemma: "You have such a great life." *Leigh laughs* "It's like my goals."
Leigh: "That's sarcasm!"
Jemma: "It really is!"
Leigh: "That's mean."
Jemma: *Contrite* "Yeah I know. You don't really, you're very nice."
MJ: "It's not like I sit at home and watch them!"
Jemma: "It totally is."
MJ: "I have to make all my friends come round to someone's house and THEN I watch them!"
*Leigh laughs*
Jemma: "Misery loves company!"
MJ: "Sometimes we have them around my house and my wife.... just goes into the bedroom!"
*Laughter*
Jemma: "And sobs quietly in a pillow!"
*Leigh laughs*
MJ: "The dog seems to enjoy the company."
Leigh: "Yeah. The dog enjoys them."
MJ: "Well not them, but..."
Jemma: "Who does the best snacks? 'Cos I'll go to those ones."
Leigh: "I think Mark has definitely won for best snacks. There was one after Christmas and he presented us with a cheeseboard."
MJ: "Awwwww that was really nice!"
Shaun: "That was the best! Yep!"
*Leigh laughs*
MJ: "I mean clearly the rest of us aren't going to bother with all that! Okay I'll pause it there - Episode Three!"

Online snippets with Jason:
Jason: "Sorry I can't be there. I've found it online, so I'm watching along anyway."
MJ: "We've just got to end of ep 2."
Shaun: "We will be calling you for the book description and score when done. I will send a thermos of 3 cups of tea and a few handfuls of crisps for Mark to drop off so you don't feel left out."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EPISODE THREE GETS WATCHED*
MJ: *Half-hearted Dalek impression* "End-of-Epi-sode-Three." *Sniggers*
Shaun: "Your heart was NOT in that! Do it properly!"
MJ: *Full on Dalek voice* "END-OF EP-I-SODE THREE!!!" *Cheers and laughter* "And yes, they're hoping to escape from the Daleks by having a big piece of polythene plastic and rising up through a heat-driven-tunnel. So it would be like a hot air balloon - thing. But can it take all their weight!!? Awww at the moment we're... they could die! And Jemma really likes the character - what was his name?"
Leigh: "Curdle."
Jemma: "It's Codal but we like Curdle. I'm not going to like it if Codal dies! I've invested a lot into Codal."
MJ: "Oh and Mark identified one of the characters as being a German General in (sitcom) 'Allo 'Allo'! So there we go!" *Leigh and MJ Laugh* "As soon as he said I was like 'Oh yeah!!'. So there we go: FACTS!"
*Leigh chuckles*

Online snippets with Jason:
*AFTER EPISODE THREE*
Jason: "Just started ep 3."
MJ: "We have just started episode four! You may catch up during our next fag break!!!" (Not that MJ smokes!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EPISODE FOUR STARTS*
MJ: "Oh we've started the episode and they are rising up! So that's nice. Just as the Daleks break through! IT'S EXCITING!!!"
Jemma: "It's not!"
MJ: "Oh."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Leigh was just saying 'The good one is actually bad - even though they've all got the same voice.'"
MJ: "Yes, we were just on about the big, purple, furry things - which are invisible."
Shaun: "Spiridons."
MJ: "Spiridons yeah - "
Leigh: *Laughing* "'The purple invisible things'!??"
*Laughter*
MJ: "But they're WEARING purple, furry cloaks so we can see them!"
Mark: "Yeah."
Leigh: *Laughing* "What's the point in being invisible if you wear a cloak so people can see you??!"
Shaun: "They did say that it was to ward off the night."
Leigh: "Yes to keep them warm."
MJ: "Mmm."
Jemma: "Can't they make the cloak invisible?"
Leigh: "Well they can't make sticks invisible so..."
Jemma: "Well they won't be useful to the Daleks if they can't make them invisible."
Shaun: "The Daleks just want to be invisible themselves."
Jemma: "Well I have no idea what the hell is happening!"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun: "That's because they all look almost EXACTLY alike!"
Leigh: "My God - you're like a Thal racist!!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "And they all have weird, not-real, names."
Jemma: "Like 'Thals' - oh no, they're called 'Thals' aren't they?"
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Yeah. Like Curdle (Codel!) and Darren! (Taron!)" *Laughs*
*Mark laughs*
MJ: "Darren!" *Laughs and puts on boring voice* "Hello, I'm Darren!"
Shaun: "I will say the last two parts were a lot more enjoyable than the first two!"
Jemma: "Well I've been putting a lot of effort in making sure that Codal doesn't die!"
Shaun: "My only problem with the first two, is the fact that they are written by Terry Nation - it's a Dalek one - oh, it's exactly the thing we've seen fifty billion times before!" *Laughs*
MJ: "He does that, yes."
Mark: "I'm not saying he's an original writer..." *Laughs*
MJ: "But..." *Laughs* "Well that was his thing when we get to 'Genesis Of The Daleks'. The writer asked him for another Dalek story and he sent one in and Terry (Nation) said to him (Terrance Dicks - script editor) 'Did you get the script?' and he said 'Yes'. Terry replied 'What do you think?' and Terrence said 'It's very good but you've given this story to us five times before!' "
*Laughter*
Mark: "Errr, it's alright."
MJ: " 'It's alright'..." *Laughs* "Yes I don't really have much to say about that. I don't think there are any profound things - there's no Master, so Shaun's -"
Leigh: "- Literally got nothing to say!"
*Shaun laughs*
Shaun: "I'll TRY to go on with my life!"
*Leigh chuckles*
Shaun: "Well that's 'cos he was dead."
MJ: "He's not dead!? No, no he didn't die in this - I mean he did die but.."
Shaun: "Oh I thought he was meant to be in this serial?"
MJ: "No-n-no-no."
Shaun: "Oh then that makes, the way he f**ked off at the end of the last one, far more confusing!"
MJ: "Yeah. So how are you finding it Jason?" *Puts on a Jason voice* "Ahh it's alright!"
Leigh: "Yes it's also very similar to your Jools Holland impression!"
Mark: "What the ' 'Allo 'Allo' guy?"
Shaun: "Yeah, there you go!" *Still his normal voice* "Err I'm Jason and I'm reiterating the ' 'Allo 'Allo' thing, but I'm pretending I just came up with it. Because Jason would actually probably have known that!" *Laughs*
Mark: "Yeah he would have known that."
Shaun: "'Cos he's quite knowledgeable."
Jemma: "I'm really sh*t at being Jason."
Shaun: "You're not the BEST Jason."
Jemma: "I don't even know what Jason's name is half the time! So I'm sh*t at that!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "That's lovely!"
Mark: "That will be nice to read in the write-up!"
MJ: "I'll put that in."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "I was trying to do Jason some justice! Now we've just sh*t on the poor guy's name!"
MJ: "Awww. And on sh*tting on Jason's name I'll - "
Shaun: "No, no. Let's just all say we miss Jacob!" *Laughter* "We miss you, Jacob!"
*Laughter*
Mark: "I personally DO miss Justin a lot."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Poor Jeremy! We shouldn't take the p*ss out of him!"
Jemma: *Laughing* "I actually thought his name WAS Justin for Ages!"
MJ: "We KNOW why he's called 'Just in'....!"
Shaun: "WHAT!!?"
MJ: "Hah! Penis..." *Uproarious laughter* "Funny. Okay, next part..."

Online snippets with Jason:
MJ: "Grimace. And suddenly the Daleks notice that one of them's wearing shoes!"
Jemma: "Yeah I want that sandwich."
MJ: "Oh yeah and Jemma's Googling sandwiches!"
*Leigh laughs*
*Leigh chuckles*
Shaun: "Bear with me a second."
MJ: "Ooo."
Jemma: "This is so exciting!"
Leigh: *Chuckles* "Live link-up to a DIFFERENT part of Sudbury!"
*Laughter*
*Jemma laughs*
Jason: "I like the characters. Daleks are crap."
*Laughter*
MJ: "He did! And there was a Cryo-volcano - that was fun."
Jason: "I loved the Grimaces, I want one."
*Laughter*
MJ: "And Jemma's favourite character - who was he?"
Jemma: "Codal."
MJ: "Curdle!"
Jason: "Oh he was the one that had the crap idea about the fridge, wasn't he?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I think so, yes."
Jemma: "That's our Curdle!"
MJ: "Yeah, that's our Curdle. And Jo NEARLY went away, didn't she? To Skaro."
Leigh & Mark: "With Latte!" (Latep)
MJ: "With Latte!" *Laughing*
Jason: "I call him 'Latte' as well!"
MJ: "Yay!!"
*Laughter*
Jason: "When he went away he said 'Come back to my planet' and she said 'No'."
MJ: "Exactly, yeah! But I can't see her going off, romantically, with anyone she's just met...!"
*Laughs*
Jason: "No that would never, ever, ever happen!"
MJ: "No." *Jason laughs* "Dot, dot, dot!"
Shaun: "It ALWAYS happens!" *Laughing* "It's probably going to happen again!"
MJ: "Jason, do you have 'The Book' with you?"
Jason: "I do!"
MJ: "Yayyy!"
Shaun: "We need to do scores first!"
MJ: "Oh yeah we need to do scores don't we? So, err, seen as you're there Jason, what would you give it out of ten?"
Jason: "Errr, I was going to give it a seven, but I'm going to give it an eight."
MJ: "Oh, okay!"
Jason: "Just 'cos there's nothing really wrong with it."
MJ: "Fair enough then. Shaun?"
Shaun: "I'm going to give it a five point one three eight."
MJ: "Oh. Not very keen."
Shaun: "No it's just mediocre. It's fine. Straight in the middle."
MJ: "Mark?"
Mark: "Err, I'll give it an eight point two three."
Shaun: "Wow."
MJ: "Oh you quite liked it then?"
Leigh: "Seven!"
MJ: "Seven! Jemma," *Laughs* "what would you give that? Seen as you've never seen classic Doctor Who before?"
Jemma: "I don't really have anything else to base it on. I thought it was a crock of s**t, so two!"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun: "AWWW BRUTAL!!"
Jemma: "I don't know - that might be a really good story!"
MJ: "I don't know - I think it was sort of average. Seven I think from me. Okay but what does 'The Book' think, Jason?!"
Jason: "I'd already taken a picture and was going to send you what it says, but hang on."
Jemma: "Read it for us!"
Shaun: "This is how it works, Jason! It MUST be your voice!"
MJ: "COULD YOU GIVE ME THE SCORES OF THE SLOVAKIAN PEOPLE!?" *Laughs*
Jason: "I've gotta find the page - hang on! I'm just gonna read - oh it's quite short actually."
MJ: "Oh that's good. That's what SHE said!"
*Laughter*
Jason: "Okay - the first line I don't agree with!"
MJ: "Okay, what does it say?"
Jason: *Reading from The Book* " 'A believable jungle setting -' "
*Laughter*
MJ: "It wasn't THAT bad! But, yeah, not really believable."
Jason: *Reading from The Book* " '- and ambitious, if unoriginal ideas, make this live-action comic strip romp a breeze, in fine style. Eight out of ten'."
Shaun: "Wow."
MJ: "Oh so that sort of agreed with a few in the group."
Shaun: "How many Dalek costumes were made!!?"
Jason: "Well, one was nicked from the film."
MJ: "Oh, was it?"
Jason: "Well they were loaned it by Terry Nation from the 1966 film 'Daleks' Invasion Earth. 2150 A.D.' - with a torch stuck on to it's eye-stalk."
MJ: "Yeah I did think it looked quite like a torch. Does it talk about the furry costumes? The purple things?"
Jason: "It doesn't, but it does say the army of Daleks - which I like the term - were made up of toys."
*Cheers*
MJ: "Toys! I thought it was, yeah. There was quite a lot of them! They probably spent quite a bit on that."
Shaun: "I imagine they got them free."
MJ: "No I should think they had to go to Woolworths and pay for them or something. That's the thing. Well a shame you can't be here for the group photo but you've sent one of yourself with a furry."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "You've got to watch it on your own, which I assure you is LESS fun than doing it with the rest of us!"
Jemma: "Can't I just pretend? 'I totally just watched it! It's great - yay'!"
*Leigh chuckles*
MJ: "Sammich! With sauce? Ketchup or anything?"
Jemma: "I think ketchup. I don't have ketchup so I'll have mayonnaise."
MJ: "And that leads us to half an hour!"
*Laughter and cheers*
****************************************************************************************************
Phew so that was a long one! And written-up a fair while after the event! So here are those pesky Dalek scores:
That gave us an average of 6.228 out of 10. It may be sad but the live link up was one of the most exciting things we've done in the meet-ups!
We have been doing it for a while now...
Oh well that was that and we have one more in this season to watch!
Until then I shall return, yes I shall return....
MJ - 15/01/17
Jason: "Just started ep 3."
MJ: "We have just started episode four! You may catch up during our next fag break!!!" (Not that MJ smokes!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*EPISODE FOUR STARTS*
MJ: "Oh we've started the episode and they are rising up! So that's nice. Just as the Daleks break through! IT'S EXCITING!!!"
Jemma: "It's not!"
MJ: "Oh."
*Laughter*
*EPISODE FOUR GETS WATCHED*
Photo 4: At Shaun's house. Jemma (holding the sign),
Leigh, Mark (holding his mobile with Jason's selfie on!)
& Shaun (with the DVD case).
Shaun: "Leigh was just saying 'The good one is actually bad - even though they've all got the same voice.'"
MJ: "Yes, we were just on about the big, purple, furry things - which are invisible."
Shaun: "Spiridons."
MJ: "Spiridons yeah - "
Leigh: *Laughing* "'The purple invisible things'!??"
*Laughter*
MJ: "But they're WEARING purple, furry cloaks so we can see them!"
Mark: "Yeah."
Leigh: *Laughing* "What's the point in being invisible if you wear a cloak so people can see you??!"
Shaun: "They did say that it was to ward off the night."
Leigh: "Yes to keep them warm."
MJ: "Mmm."
Jemma: "Can't they make the cloak invisible?"
Leigh: "Well they can't make sticks invisible so..."
Jemma: "Well they won't be useful to the Daleks if they can't make them invisible."
Shaun: "The Daleks just want to be invisible themselves."
Jemma: "Well I have no idea what the hell is happening!"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun:
"Look you can tell it's a Dalek plan, right, 'cos what they're doing
is: they've got a race that is naturally invisible due to their
biology."
Jemma: "We think."
Shaun: "And they want to install that into their armour somehow."
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Which doesn't make a lot of sense!" *Laughs*
Leigh: "What if they skinned an invisible monster and wore it's skin? Like the invisible monsters wear visible monsters skin."
Shaun: "Yeah!"
Leigh: "Well the Dalek's could wear invisible monster's skin!"
MJ: "Yeah!"
Jemma: "We think."
Shaun: "And they want to install that into their armour somehow."
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Which doesn't make a lot of sense!" *Laughs*
Leigh: "What if they skinned an invisible monster and wore it's skin? Like the invisible monsters wear visible monsters skin."
Shaun: "Yeah!"
Leigh: "Well the Dalek's could wear invisible monster's skin!"
MJ: "Yeah!"
Shaun: "That's presumably what the Cloak of Invisibility from 'Harry Potter' was!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "It's probably a little sinister for a kids show - wearing the skin of - "
Jemma: "- Why are you bringing 'Harry Potter' into this sh*t??! Why would you take all that is good from me!?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I don't get it? You're not finding this amazingly awesome?"
*Leigh laughs*
Jemma: "I've no idea what is happening!!?"
*Laughter*
Leigh: "But apart from THAT...."
MJ: "It's not really SO complex, these ones.... but I do get confused with who's who with the characters!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "It's probably a little sinister for a kids show - wearing the skin of - "
Jemma: "- Why are you bringing 'Harry Potter' into this sh*t??! Why would you take all that is good from me!?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I don't get it? You're not finding this amazingly awesome?"
*Leigh laughs*
Jemma: "I've no idea what is happening!!?"
*Laughter*
Leigh: "But apart from THAT...."
MJ: "It's not really SO complex, these ones.... but I do get confused with who's who with the characters!"
Shaun: "That's because they all look almost EXACTLY alike!"
Leigh: "My God - you're like a Thal racist!!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "And they all have weird, not-real, names."
Jemma: "Like 'Thals' - oh no, they're called 'Thals' aren't they?"
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Yeah. Like Curdle (Codel!) and Darren! (Taron!)" *Laughs*
*Mark laughs*
MJ: "Darren!" *Laughs and puts on boring voice* "Hello, I'm Darren!"
Shaun: "I will say the last two parts were a lot more enjoyable than the first two!"
Jemma: "Well I've been putting a lot of effort in making sure that Codal doesn't die!"
Shaun: "My only problem with the first two, is the fact that they are written by Terry Nation - it's a Dalek one - oh, it's exactly the thing we've seen fifty billion times before!" *Laughs*
MJ: "He does that, yes."
Mark: "I'm not saying he's an original writer..." *Laughs*
MJ: "But..." *Laughs* "Well that was his thing when we get to 'Genesis Of The Daleks'. The writer asked him for another Dalek story and he sent one in and Terry (Nation) said to him (Terrance Dicks - script editor) 'Did you get the script?' and he said 'Yes'. Terry replied 'What do you think?' and Terrence said 'It's very good but you've given this story to us five times before!' "
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Yeah!"
MJ: "And then Terrence went through the points of what was similar and Terry was like 'Oh yes, by God you're right!' So Terrence said 'Why don't you write about where they (The Daleks) came from?' And that's where - "
Shaun: "- I like the idea because that IS 'Genesis Of The Daleks' - I like the idea that Terry Nation literally just gave him the same script! 'We'll make that thirty years - that will be fine. Now sit back and enjoy the royalty cheques'!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "And then Terrence went through the points of what was similar and Terry was like 'Oh yes, by God you're right!' So Terrence said 'Why don't you write about where they (The Daleks) came from?' And that's where - "
Shaun: "- I like the idea because that IS 'Genesis Of The Daleks' - I like the idea that Terry Nation literally just gave him the same script! 'We'll make that thirty years - that will be fine. Now sit back and enjoy the royalty cheques'!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I believe, in the first draft, the Daleks were invented by a Cockney guy called Dave Ross!" *Laughter* *Put on Cockney accent* "'Allo I'm Dave Ross! Look wot I've made 'ere! I call 'em 'The Daleks'!..... You slags!' "
*Laughter*
*Laughter*
Leigh: *Cockney accent* "They 'ave a bit of a problem with the old apple 'n' pears'!"
Mark: "Chairs?"
Leigh: *Cockney accent* "No apple 'n' pears - stairs. Not apple 'n' pears - chairs! Not apple 'n' pears - hairs!" *Laughs*
MJ: "But they can ship 'n' boat - float. They have their own made up ones..." *Laughs*
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Yeah, 'cos the Dalek Cockney's not EARTH Cockney! It's Skaro!"
Mark: "Chairs?"
Leigh: *Cockney accent* "No apple 'n' pears - stairs. Not apple 'n' pears - chairs! Not apple 'n' pears - hairs!" *Laughs*
MJ: "But they can ship 'n' boat - float. They have their own made up ones..." *Laughs*
Mark: "Yeah."
Shaun: "Yeah, 'cos the Dalek Cockney's not EARTH Cockney! It's Skaro!"
MJ: "So are you enjoying that, Mark?"
Mark: "Errr, it's alright."
MJ: " 'It's alright'..." *Laughs* "Yes I don't really have much to say about that. I don't think there are any profound things - there's no Master, so Shaun's -"
Leigh: "- Literally got nothing to say!"
*Shaun laughs*
Shaun: "I'll TRY to go on with my life!"
*Leigh chuckles*
MJ: "But there was no reason for them NOT to have The Master in it. He could have stayed around and - "
Shaun: "Well that's 'cos he was dead."
MJ: "He's not dead!? No, no he didn't die in this - I mean he did die but.."
Shaun: "Oh I thought he was meant to be in this serial?"
MJ: "No-n-no-no."
Shaun: "Oh then that makes, the way he f**ked off at the end of the last one, far more confusing!"
MJ: "Yeah. So how are you finding it Jason?" *Puts on a Jason voice* "Ahh it's alright!"
Leigh: "Yes it's also very similar to your Jools Holland impression!"
*Laughter followed by MJ doing Jools Holland bits and pieces!*
Shaun: "If I can speak for Jason, erm, what was that thing you found out earlier? Jason normal knows things about these..."
Mark: "What the ' 'Allo 'Allo' guy?"
Shaun: "Yeah, there you go!" *Still his normal voice* "Err I'm Jason and I'm reiterating the ' 'Allo 'Allo' thing, but I'm pretending I just came up with it. Because Jason would actually probably have known that!" *Laughs*
Mark: "Yeah he would have known that."
Shaun: "'Cos he's quite knowledgeable."
Jemma: "I'm really sh*t at being Jason."
Shaun: "You're not the BEST Jason."
Jemma: "I don't even know what Jason's name is half the time! So I'm sh*t at that!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "That's lovely!"
Mark: "That will be nice to read in the write-up!"
MJ: "I'll put that in."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "I was trying to do Jason some justice! Now we've just sh*t on the poor guy's name!"
MJ: "Awww. And on sh*tting on Jason's name I'll - "
Shaun: "No, no. Let's just all say we miss Jacob!" *Laughter* "We miss you, Jacob!"
*Laughter*
Mark: "I personally DO miss Justin a lot."
*Laughter*
Shaun: "Poor Jeremy! We shouldn't take the p*ss out of him!"
Jemma: *Laughing* "I actually thought his name WAS Justin for Ages!"
MJ: "We KNOW why he's called 'Just in'....!"
Shaun: "WHAT!!?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Hah! Penis..." *Uproarious laughter* "Funny. Okay, next part..."

MJ: "And there we go - I've just made Jemma choke!"
Shaun: "Jemma finds this funny 'cos" *Laughing* "She hasn't had it for EVERY episode for the past three years!"
MJ: "And the episode is starting and there is Grimace! I'll stop it..."
*EPISODE FIVE GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "End of Part Five and Westor betrayed them - but he didn't really betray them!! It was all a trick to..."
Leigh: "Release the cheese-bacteria!"
Shaun: "Yes."
MJ: "And it's trapped in the one room and the Daleks can never open the door because it will infect all the other Daleks. And they sounded REALLY upset about that!"
Jemma: "Because Derek The Dalek is an arsehole!"
MJ: "Derek The Dalek is an arsehole."
*Leigh laughs*
Mark: "They've already immunised quite a few Daleks..."
Shaun: "But they haven't immunised the thousands they've got in cold-storage."
Jemma: "Oh yeah I forgot about them!"
MJ: "Daleks on ice!" *Laughter* *MJ reads out Jason's above comments to the group* "That's important for the write-up, makes him appear like here's here! Oh yes, so they're dressed as Spridon's - "
Leigh: "- Grimace."

Leigh: "- Grimace."
MJ: "Grimace. And suddenly the Daleks notice that one of them's wearing shoes!"
Jemma: "Yeah I want that sandwich."
MJ: "Oh yeah and Jemma's Googling sandwiches!"
*Leigh laughs*
Jemma: "I really like sandwiches."
Shaun: "To be fair she's look up Dalek sandwiches!"
Jemma: "Yes, yes Dalek-themed sandwiches!"
MJ: "SAMMIDGE! And watch the next part..."
*EPISODE SIX GETS WATCHED*
MJ: "So that was the end of, erm, 'The Dalek's Master Plan In Planets' errrr 'Mind Of Evil'!" *Leigh laughs* "Errrr, 'Spearhead From The Autons'.... etc! So how did we find that one? Tough going?"
Shaun: "No it was alright. Picked up after - well the first three episodes were just the same thing we've seen a bajillion times before, whilst the rest was nothing particularly new. It certainly got a bit more exciting after those first two!"
Jemma: "I like the jiz-flowers."
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun: "To be fair she's look up Dalek sandwiches!"
Jemma: "Yes, yes Dalek-themed sandwiches!"

Jemma: "I like the jiz-flowers."
*Leigh laughs*
MJ:
"She likes the jiz-flowers. They were good. Err Jo had a chance to
leave at the end there. The guy was romantic and said 'Hey, come back
to Skaro with me!' And she was like 'Nah'!"
Shaun: "Yep! An absolute out of NOWHERE romance - we thought that was the end of Jo for a while!"
*Leigh chuckles*
Mark: "Out of nowhere? He felt her knee without permission! He was holding her hand a lot!"
Jemma: "Yeah!"
MJ: "Yeah I saw her! The subtle, little things there. Not so subtle..."
Mark: "Not like all the others."
MJ: "Yes, I don't think she will meet someone and fall in love and leave The Doctor at ALL!"
Shaun: "Suddenly AND immediately in the next one we watch!"
MJ: "Dot. Dot. Dot!" *Laughter* "Yes, who knows. So yes Mark? Was that alright for you?"
Mark: "Yeah it was alright! One of the better ones for Jon Pertwee."
MJ: "I liked the ice and the little toy Daleks getting covered in ice."
Mark: "Yeah, Daleks..."
Shaun: "Yeah."
Mark: "I mean, like all of them, they could have done that in two episodes."
*Shaun laughs*
Jemma: "Yeah!"
MJ: "Yeah I saw her! The subtle, little things there. Not so subtle..."
Mark: "Not like all the others."
MJ: "Yes, I don't think she will meet someone and fall in love and leave The Doctor at ALL!"
Shaun: "Suddenly AND immediately in the next one we watch!"

Shaun: "Yeah."
Mark: "I mean, like all of them, they could have done that in two episodes."
*Shaun laughs*
MJ: "The, err, the Supreme Dalek - Dalek Supreme - mmmmm! Yum-yum-yum!" *Leigh & Mark laugh* "Was very wobbly with his head, I found. His gold, little head."
Shaun: "Calling something a 'Supreme Dalek' - SURELY it should be more impressive than, perhaps, two inches taller and a BIT gold!"
Jemma: "Like a crown."
MJ: "It had a torch for an eye-stalk! And really BIG glowing lights!"
Mark: "Bigger lights in its head."
Shaun: "Yeah."
MJ: "Booming! So did you say you was going to give Jason a call - so we can find out what 'The Book' says?!"
Shaun: "I think we should, yeah!"
Shaun: "Calling something a 'Supreme Dalek' - SURELY it should be more impressive than, perhaps, two inches taller and a BIT gold!"

Shaun: "I think we should, yeah!"
MJ: "We should do our scores as well. Can you put him on speaker thing?"
Shaun: "Bear with me a second."
MJ: "Ooo."
Jemma: "This is so exciting!"
Leigh: *Chuckles* "Live link-up to a DIFFERENT part of Sudbury!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "This is our FIRST ever live link-up!!"
Jemma: "It's like Eurovision."
MJ: "Can you hear us....?"
Leigh: "...Springlands!"
*Laughter*
Jemma: "It's like Eurovision."
MJ: "Can you hear us....?"
Leigh: "...Springlands!"
*Laughter*
Shaun: "I'll pop this on speaker and we'll see if he answers."
*Phone starts ringing*
*Phone starts ringing*
Mark: "I bet he gives it nil poi!"
*Phone gets answered*
Jason: "Hello?"
MJ: *Shouting* "HELLO JASON YOU ARE LIVE ON TELEVISION, DO NOT SWEAR!!"
*Laughter*
*Phone gets answered*
Jason: "Hello?"
MJ: *Shouting* "HELLO JASON YOU ARE LIVE ON TELEVISION, DO NOT SWEAR!!"
*Laughter*
Jemma: "Hey!"
MJ: "How ya doing?"
Jason: "Hello."
MJ: "Yeah we just got to the end and we are just about to give scores and stuff." *Laughs* "So we thought we'd ring you along as well!"
MJ: "How ya doing?"
Jason: "Hello."
MJ: "Yeah we just got to the end and we are just about to give scores and stuff." *Laughs* "So we thought we'd ring you along as well!"
Jason: "Yayyyyyyy..."
*Jemma laughs*
MJ: "Yayyyy! Have you any thoughts of what you thought of that?" (Good English!)
Jason: "Yes!"
*Laughter*
Jason: "Yes!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "Tell us what you thought of that." *Laughs*
Jason: "I think it was alright! It's what I think of when people say 'Classic Who'. It went -" *Coughs* "It went along alright."
Jason: "I think it was alright! It's what I think of when people say 'Classic Who'. It went -" *Coughs* "It went along alright."
MJ: "Yeah."
Jason: "I like the characters. Daleks are crap."
*Laughter*
MJ: "What about the Dalek Supreme? Chicken Supreme."
Jason: *Laughs* "He had some bling going on - I liked him!"
*Laughter*
Jason: *Laughs* "He had some bling going on - I liked him!"
*Laughter*
Jemma: "Not bling enough."
MJ: "He did! And there was a Cryo-volcano - that was fun."
Jason: "Lots of flying fluids in this one I thought!"
*Laughter*
MJ:
"Yeah I thought it did look a little like other fluid, but I wasn't
going to go too much into detail. Erm, how about all the Grimaces?"
Jason: "I loved the Grimaces, I want one."
*Laughter*
MJ: "And Jemma's favourite character - who was he?"
Jemma: "Codal."
MJ: "Curdle!"
Jason: "Oh he was the one that had the crap idea about the fridge, wasn't he?"
*Laughter*
MJ: "I think so, yes."
Jemma: "That's our Curdle!"
MJ: "Yeah, that's our Curdle. And Jo NEARLY went away, didn't she? To Skaro."
Leigh & Mark: "With Latte!" (Latep)
MJ: "With Latte!" *Laughing*
Jason: "I call him 'Latte' as well!"
MJ: "Yay!!"
*Laughter*
Jason: "When he went away he said 'Come back to my planet' and she said 'No'."
MJ: "Exactly, yeah! But I can't see her going off, romantically, with anyone she's just met...!"
*Laughs*
Jason: "No that would never, ever, ever happen!"
MJ: "No." *Jason laughs* "Dot, dot, dot!"
Shaun: "It ALWAYS happens!" *Laughing* "It's probably going to happen again!"
MJ: "Jason, do you have 'The Book' with you?"
Jason: "I do!"
MJ: "Yayyy!"
Shaun: "We need to do scores first!"
MJ: "Oh yeah we need to do scores don't we? So, err, seen as you're there Jason, what would you give it out of ten?"
Jason: "Errr, I was going to give it a seven, but I'm going to give it an eight."
MJ: "Oh, okay!"
Jason: "Just 'cos there's nothing really wrong with it."
MJ: "Fair enough then. Shaun?"
Shaun: "I'm going to give it a five point one three eight."
MJ: "Oh. Not very keen."
Shaun: "No it's just mediocre. It's fine. Straight in the middle."
MJ: "Mark?"
Mark: "Err, I'll give it an eight point two three."
Shaun: "Wow."
MJ: "Oh you quite liked it then?"
Leigh: "Seven!"
MJ: "Seven! Jemma," *Laughs* "what would you give that? Seen as you've never seen classic Doctor Who before?"
Jemma: "I don't really have anything else to base it on. I thought it was a crock of s**t, so two!"
*Leigh laughs*
Shaun: "AWWW BRUTAL!!"
Jemma: "I don't know - that might be a really good story!"
MJ: "I don't know - I think it was sort of average. Seven I think from me. Okay but what does 'The Book' think, Jason?!"
Jason: "I'd already taken a picture and was going to send you what it says, but hang on."
Jemma: "Read it for us!"
Shaun: "This is how it works, Jason! It MUST be your voice!"
MJ: "COULD YOU GIVE ME THE SCORES OF THE SLOVAKIAN PEOPLE!?" *Laughs*
Jason: "I've gotta find the page - hang on! I'm just gonna read - oh it's quite short actually."
MJ: "Oh that's good. That's what SHE said!"
*Laughter*
Jason: "Okay - the first line I don't agree with!"
MJ: "Okay, what does it say?"
Jason: *Reading from The Book* " 'A believable jungle setting -' "
*Laughter*
MJ: "It wasn't THAT bad! But, yeah, not really believable."
Jason: *Reading from The Book* " '- and ambitious, if unoriginal ideas, make this live-action comic strip romp a breeze, in fine style. Eight out of ten'."
Shaun: "Wow."
MJ: "Oh so that sort of agreed with a few in the group."
Shaun: "How many Dalek costumes were made!!?"
Jason: "Well, one was nicked from the film."
MJ: "Oh, was it?"
Shaun: *Laughing* "Yeah that would be the Supreme, yeah?"
Jason: "Well they were loaned it by Terry Nation from the 1966 film 'Daleks' Invasion Earth. 2150 A.D.' - with a torch stuck on to it's eye-stalk."
MJ: "Yeah I did think it looked quite like a torch. Does it talk about the furry costumes? The purple things?"
Jason: "It doesn't, but it does say the army of Daleks - which I like the term - were made up of toys."
*Cheers*
MJ: "Toys! I thought it was, yeah. There was quite a lot of them! They probably spent quite a bit on that."
Shaun: "I imagine they got them free."
MJ: "No I should think they had to go to Woolworths and pay for them or something. That's the thing. Well a shame you can't be here for the group photo but you've sent one of yourself with a furry."
Shaun: "We'll Photoshop that in!"
*Laughter*
MJ: "We can. Okay so I suppose we'll let you go now 'cos we've pretty much said everything there!"
Jason: "Cool."
MJ: "Well thanks for joining us Jason and thank you for the vote of the Smith People! Say 'Bye'!"
All: "Bye!!!"
Jason: "Bye."
*Jason hangs up*
MJ: "Brilliant."
Shaun: "Worth it."
MJ: "That was WOW! Live link-up! That's quite exciting for our group!"
*Leigh laughs*
Jason: "Cool."
MJ: "Well thanks for joining us Jason and thank you for the vote of the Smith People! Say 'Bye'!"
All: "Bye!!!"
Jason: "Bye."
*Jason hangs up*
MJ: "Brilliant."
Shaun: "Worth it."
MJ: "That was WOW! Live link-up! That's quite exciting for our group!"
*Leigh laughs*
Jemma: "Can you link up with me every week? So I don't have to do all that - but I can do the fun bits at the end!"
MJ: *Laughing* "You've got to watch it!"
MJ: *Laughing* "You've got to watch it!"
Shaun: "You've got to watch it on your own, which I assure you is LESS fun than doing it with the rest of us!"
Jemma: "Can't I just pretend? 'I totally just watched it! It's great - yay'!"
*Leigh chuckles*
MJ: "That's brilliant. Okay we'll stop there and -"
Shaun: "Have we got to half an hour yet?"
MJ: "About thirty seconds away."
Mark: "Keep it going."
Shaun: "Let's just keep this rolling. For thirty seconds! I have an important Dalek thing to say!!"
MJ: "Go on then."
Shaun: "DALEK!"
MJ: *Laughs* "Rhymes with 'Garlek'!"
Shaun: "A very important Dalek thing!"
MJ: "Erm, Jemma wants sandwiches. Do you know what kind of sandwich you want?"
Jemma: "Fish finger."
MJ: "Fish finger. Yes."
Shaun: "Have we got to half an hour yet?"
MJ: "About thirty seconds away."
Mark: "Keep it going."
Shaun: "Let's just keep this rolling. For thirty seconds! I have an important Dalek thing to say!!"
MJ: "Go on then."
Shaun: "DALEK!"
MJ: *Laughs* "Rhymes with 'Garlek'!"
Shaun: "A very important Dalek thing!"
MJ: "Erm, Jemma wants sandwiches. Do you know what kind of sandwich you want?"
Jemma: "Fish finger."
MJ: "Fish finger. Yes."
Shaun: "Fish finger sandwich?"
MJ: "Sammich! With sauce? Ketchup or anything?"
Jemma: "I think ketchup. I don't have ketchup so I'll have mayonnaise."
MJ: "And that leads us to half an hour!"
*Laughter and cheers*

Jason poses with his TARDIS mug.
****************************************************************************************************
Phew so that was a long one! And written-up a fair while after the event! So here are those pesky Dalek scores:
Jason 8
Shaun 5.138
Mark 8.23
Leigh: 7
Jemma: 2
MJ: 7
That gave us an average of 6.228 out of 10. It may be sad but the live link up was one of the most exciting things we've done in the meet-ups!
We have been doing it for a while now...
Oh well that was that and we have one more in this season to watch!
Until then I shall return, yes I shall return....
