| An April Ood.1 |
A serious and good philosophical work could
be written consisting entirely of jokes.

Me: Well, this is unexpected and
exciting. A ‘double whammy’ if you will.
Him: Whooo!
Me: That’s right. I was branching out into reading websites and
listening to podcasts made by other Doctor
Who – what are they called?
‘Whonatics’, or something.
Anyway, there’s a particular podcast called Radio Free Skaro which seems to be quite popular. Run by some lovely lads from Canadia, I
think. Anyway, imagine my surprise when
I realise that they’ve nicked the same version of the theme tune that we- That we’ve been using. So, we’ve had to change it really.
Him: We didn’t nick it.
Me: No, fair enough. It was the only one that made us both dance though.
Him: Yeah! Dance!
Me: I best apologise for the
Him. I’m writing this yesterday and he’s
just eaten his weight in eggy chocolate.
Him: 1932! A.M!1
Me: Right. So, after a bit of thinking I realised that I
had access to a version of the Doctor Who
theme that no-one else, whether they be fans or not, would ever have used on
anything noticeably linked to Doctor Who.
Him: Would they have danced to
it?
Me: Doctor Who fans?
Him: Anybody?
Me: Statistically speaking… Yes. I
believe it was popular in small pockets of resistance hidden around Cardiff and
select chunks of Wales; parts of America; the more pierced parts of Europe –
places like that. Even Lun Dun.
Him: That’s a bit prejudiced.
Me: Yeah, like you would ever
say that. So, imaginary creature, tell
the nice lady and gentleman about our special surprise.
The
Him makes a noise like a rabbit becoming a slipper.1
Him: I’d like you to capture
that.
Me: I’ll do my best. Now then.
The surprise?
Him:
It’s a
guest. A special guest.
Me: That’s right. Someone who’s been involved with Doctor Who for longer than you’d think.
Him: I think I can hear him. He’s broken out of his box.
Me: He has indeed. And there he goes, out the window and back to
Cardiff. Good luck to him. He’s forgotten his shoes. Anyway.
Slightly below this is a clicky link that’ll take you to our special
present. Hope you’ve both had a great
Easter and enjoyed that new Who last
night. It was certainly a lot better
than I was expecting.
Him: And it even had our special
guest in it. Ha! That makes it sound like it’s the Maggot of
Patience!
Me: Ho ho ho. It does indeed. But we could never afford his appearance
fee. Especially with the Second Effort
of The Green Death on the horizon.
Him: Huwoughooooom!1
Me: And a Merry Xmas to all of
you at home.
