Thanks for the daily grin. I needed it, I’m having a particularly crappy day.
“Now drop your weapons or I’ll kill him with this deadly jelly baby!” is tied with, “It’s true then, they say the Evil One eats babies!” as my all time favourite jelly baby lines! Much quoted in my house.
There is the posters shortened version on the same theme.

I love the idea of legends surrounding the Doctor’s appearances after he’s left. The one about eating babies was always a favorite. 
Yes, that one was a particularly well written show. I laughed so hard when I realized that Leela of the Severteem was actually [spoiler] a descendant of the survey team.[/spoiler] I may have been dense, but I didn’t see that one coming.
Huh. Didn’t remember that. Makes sense though.
Yes, and you remember the Tesh they fought, they were [spoiler] actually the technicians from the ship.[/spoiler] I still think Sevateem was better – well funnier anyway. The story was an early example of the results of the Doctor’s meddling gone wrong. I liked it for that reason as well as the humour. Leela’s character was written in very nicely. A stark contradiction to the hash they made of writing her out.
Oh yeah! Now it’s coming back to me.
Were these DNA episodes? Sounds kinda like H2G2.
Hmm…I know Douglas Adams did write one (or two?) Dr. Who episodes. I don’t recall which one(s) thought.
Thanks!!
And, some interesting triva on that page:
Adams is credited with introducing a fan and later friend of his, the zoologist Richard Dawkins, to Dawkins’ future wife, Lalla Ward, who had played the part of Romana in Doctor Who.
When he [Adams] was at school, he wrote and performed a play called Doctor Which.
…and if anyone wants to watch a primitive (but 100% legal) version of Douglas Adams Shada: http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/webcasts/shada/
I’ll have to try that one. Someone loaned me a copy of Shada (not sure it was 100% legal) where the BBC stiched together the scenes that were shot before the strike with narrative by a much older Tom Baker. Made me sad that they never finished that one. Tom and Lalla’s performances were relaxed and very natural. Odd to see a 450 year old time lord eating jam from a knife, though.
