Postmaster General

Too bad The Post Office isn't as

efficient as The Weather Service.

Meades, Remember the Future, 1997

"I remember it as if it were Yesterday....

But it didn't LOOK like Yesterday --

It looked like Tomorrow."

Old Grandfather :

So that's it!

Dorothea :

What? Oh, The Tower.

It's finished!

(The brand new Post Office Tower

rises high above central London.)

Old Grandfather :

Isn't that interesting.

Very interesting.

Dorothea :

It's great, isn't it. Stephen

would have liked it here....

Old Grandfather :

.....You know there's something ALIEN

about that Tower. I can scent it.

Dorothea : (inhaling deeply)

Smells okay to me.

Good old London smoke.

Old Grandfather :

I can feel it's got something sort of powerful. It's..... Look at my skin. Look at that....

I've got that pricking sensation again, the same --

Just as I had when I saw the Daleks,

those Daleks were near....

Dorothea :

Daleks? Who are They?

Old Grandfather :

Oh, er, yes, of course, you, er, you didn't meet them, did you, child? No. No, and I pray that you never will -- ....I really must investigate this. (The Doctor and Dodo set off for Cleveland Street.)
