Dalek Conquered
Just when you thought the world could get any stranger comes this BBC news report of how an original series Dalek prop was stolen from a tourist attraction at Wookey Hole.
The thieves left a ransom note and a carefully removed plunger arm. (“For the safety of the human race we have disarmed and removed its destructive mechanism.”) Rather like in Dalek the Mark III Travel Machine is being held captive; unlike Dalek the thieves, who have called themselves “The Guardians of the Planet Earth” are awaiting orders from the Doctor.
Perhaps the funniest, if not most pathetic, thing about this is that according to the BBC News Report, “Former Dr Who actor Colin Baker has been in touch with staff at the attraction, and may be asked to send a message to the kidnappers.”

Awesomeness to the Extreme.
I like the fact that the police think it might be headed to the G8 protests in Scotland.

But would they listen to a former Doctor? It may be up to Tennant to save the day in his first official act as the current Doctor.
