They Have Been Induced to Forget About It


"....I Thought it was 
a Very Good Script --"


Doctor Who Shada Intro 1992


.....hello? hello....? 
Hello? Anybody there....? 

....why! It's a museum...! 

....I've always felt at 
Home in museums....

Giant Robot
-- beat you; 
Cybermen, beat you;
Daleks, beat you; 
Davros -- Davros.... 

I beat him, as well --

I was irresistible in those 
days, irresistible ....

Yeti
Gundan robot…

Kraag…..

Kraag…?

SHA-DA…..!!
…..ssh..!!

….the untransmitted story
why wasn't it transmitted, now — 
….of course, We didn't finish it —

starring Denis Carey, and Christopher Neame…… 

Written by Douglas Adams ….
I thought it was a very good script... and 
there was an invisible spaceship :
Douglas said "anyone can design 
a visible spaceship but to design 
an invisible spaceship
that needs imagination
....I think he said that, or did he say -- 
….I think he said genius, yes -- 
…..he said genius

Poor old Douglas….. 
I wonder what became of him;
….that's right, Cambridge;
about 1979….. 

punting on The Cam….
There was, a choir 
on The Corner as 
I biked by, singing 
foreign song 
or some other Train song —

..…Daniel Hill - I'd heard 
he'd become The Manager 
of an old people's home
or maybe he went into an old people's home, I can't remember; 
or maybe he was always old
I don't know —

and Victoria Burgoyne — 
it was her first Television, 
and when she heard 
it was cancelled she 
was so unhappy….
She cried a lot;
We all cried a lot….
We were all very sad —

Shada…..
SHADA…..
SHA-DA……
