Thing is, though, as I have been give to understand, the ritual sacrifice was, at least on some occasions, considered to be a huge honour for the 'victim', as it conferred benefits in the afterlife!

It's one example, at least, of the 'bestiality' of the 'savage' tribes being illustrated out of context!

1980: Not concerned about animal testing

The past is another country – they do things differently there. How true – I can’t see this cartoon appearing today.

1981: Dr Who’s opponents

Jokes about Daleks were quite common at the time. I never watched Dr Who but I rather think they were being portrayed as seekers of world domination.

You...you.....never...watched...Doctor Who?





Plus, that cartoon was in the days well before the Daleks evolved to be able to levitate!

Dr Who began late in 1963. I was 32 years old. Bit late to start surely?

You're never too late for Doctor Who!


When the 'new' series started, I was well in my prime, but still watched it!
And all the series since!

Not I.

I was an avid viewer of Doctor Who when it was a children's science fiction series.

When it became overtly PC, I stopped watching the rubbish.

I wouldn't have said that either the Christopher Ecclestone version or the David Tennant version were particularly PC.

(By the way, by 'the new series', I meant the ones starting with Ecclestone, after the long break).

1981: Is there a hidden meaning?

There surely must be a hidden meaning here. Is it perhaps an alternative to the elephant in the room?
