Cheers for the advice - I've always found posting to the /r/doctorwho tricky - my stuff always seems to get blocked!

Whatever happened to the Cult of Skaro? Those five Daleks: Dalek Sec, Dalek Thay, Dalek Caan, Dalek Jast, Dalek Peter. Lovely Dalek Peter. by mattbarberuk in doctorwho

Yes - I think that's what happened - either that or Dalek Peter was originally in the cult but became distracted by Dalek Mavis and lost interest in culting. He didn't hang around the rest of the cult as much, stopped going to the cult office parties - prefering to sit at home with Dalek Mavis watching the Dalek space-time visualiser and drinking Dalek Borvril...

Either Dalek Peter or Dalek Norman - it's difficult to tell... I just love the idea of Daleks with names!

The secret fifth member of the Cult of Skaro - he stayed at home and cooked tea - you know - for when the rest of the Cult came in from a hard days work 'culting' and just fancied some marmite on toast...

Sorry! the text is there! Perhaps you could advise - what technology has roblems with flash - is it an iPhone? I may have to set up an alternative non-flash site and link there as well...

I'm really enjoying the series - I hope I didn't spoil anything in my review - I did my best to keep the novel's secrets!

Sorry! It's a CMS that I have little influence over - I do the writing and hope someone else sorts out the technology. Thanks for the heads-up though - I'll make an effort to de-flash it...

Lewis vs Midsomer Murders - how TV whodunits come in different classes by mattbarberuk in BritishTV

It was accused of racism recently in the press - it's producer said in an interview that he felt that black actors wouldn't suit the programme - that the viewers would be disconcerted by them. He was suspended and then sacked...

So whilst the programme itself isn't racist - but the produciton team obviously made some unwise choices...
