Turns out deciding to watch Classic Doctor Who was a very good idea 😁

I can't believe that whole story with the giant beeping ants and the interpretative dancing human bees was real. Six whole episodes that was. It felt like a fever dream

Barely two minutes into "The Web Planet" and already Ian's gently nudged Barbara's stomach with his elbow. 🤭🤭

Keep Monsterland White
"Hello, the Daleks are stirring up trouble again..."
Daily Mail cartoon by Stanley Franklin (c. 1965)
This is surprisingly biting commentary on racism in 1960s Britain. Daleks are normally used for comedy in these types of cartoons.
I wonder if the artist knew the Daleks were an allegory for Nazis/race supremacy, or if he came to that conclusion on his own.

"I wish I was in London" is only an acceptable phrase when on an alien planet being harrassed by human-bug-people and even then London isnt much of an improvement
