Oooooo! Daleks, too!
I wonder whether in, say another forty odd years, whether there'll be an episode of Doctor Who with whoever is then inhabiting the Time Lord's consciousness visiting Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair or Gordon Brown? Let's wait and see, shall we?
When I last posted on the topic of the Doctor's new series, I reproduced a great piece of artwork showing the first ten Doctors, as seen by artist Jon Pinto.
