Its not a very good analogy because lawyers have been fully trained,whilst 16 year olds haven't-the fair analogy is putting the best lawyer up against a random lawyer each time,even though they are the best they wouldn't win anywhere near 100%.


Doctor could be considered 'trained' by his experience. Find a 900 year old Dalek, and they will most likely win much more.

Also, you would be surprised, the better the lawyer, you more you pay, the more you win. The best lawyers will have a very high success rate.

Well, you'd still know who'd win. Killing off your main hero doesn't really work for continuing the show.

Besides - the daleks have lost so much because, prior to the re-launch (when they somehow gained the ability to fly :unimpressed:) they were kinda crap. C'mon, you could beat them with staircase.


The daleks could fly at the end of the classic series-who could forget that famous cliffhanger,to Remembrance of the Daleks?

Which would still make it less than 10 appearances (in terms of stories) since they gained that ability and became slightly harder to defeat than just move up the stairs. Nevertheless, they're still glorified salt and pepper shakers.
Besides, having the doctor lose to the daleks is like having van helsing beaten by Dracula, it just doesn't work, it's not how the show is meant to run.

Liking reviewers calling the episode the best Dalek episode since Dalek. Dalek was easily my favourite 9th Doctor story!
Watched the first episode of Pond Life, it was short but funny.

Also, I forgot to post this at the time; my birthday cupcakes from a few months ago :h::

They look amazing. :coma:

One question about the iplayer - do the episodes go up pretty much as soon as they finish airing on the tv?

Only kick-off time movement mean I'm gonna be at the football when the first episode is on.

Yep. I missed the first 10 minutes of an episode, so decided to wait, and was able to watch it on iPlayer about 10 minutes after it finished on TV. So I'd imagine it's up immediately, if not pretty quickly.

Excellent, by the time I'm home from the football it should definitely be up then.

Ta very much.

It's usually done within 15 mins of the programme finishing, but there can sometimes be delays for a few hours if you're unlucky. It's usually a prompt service though :h:

Because everyone else I have ever spoken to about it has thought it was a terrible episode and that the Daleks were so completely unthreatening that no-one could take them seriously. They looked like Teletubbies.

If you look at what Teletubbies actually are, they are quite frightening. :tongue:
