The Dobson Family and Colin the Dalek
@dobbersw.bsky.social
A Doctor Who obsessive, his long-suffering wife, their sons, Rory and Ellis and our House Dalek, Colin.
🇪🇺Thinks Brexit was a really bad idea
He's brilliant, isn't he? I genuinely prefer his news summaries.

I still get my news via Ceefax.

Mr Bamboozle!

Difficult to prove in their favour though. Likewise for Five Star.
November 11, 2025 at 10:23 PM
I fear it wouldn't just be headlines he would be grabbing then.

What I want and what we'll get will be two different things, but I'd be very happy with anything from Marco Polo or Macra Terror.

He has been upstairs, but we don't talk about that.

At some point it would be great fun to meet the lovely people we all interact with on BlueSky. That said, I'd then not have a hour to come up with 'off-the-cuff witty remarks' to reply to people, so maybe it's just as well. 😁

I don't know about daleks, but their operators do.

It is a beautiful building. Now he's got a taste for travel, it's a possibility.

Why not come along to the Lit in Egham, Surrey, for an evening of Who entertainment, selfies with Colin the Dalek and sing-a-long to 'Doctor in Distress' - All for less than £7.

🤣
Sadly 'Climb Every Mountain' causes our particular Dalek some problems. He struggled going over extension cables on that stage.
November 9, 2025 at 7:50 PM
He knows exactly how to solve a problem like Maria... Extermination!

As for songs, Colin wants to sing about the mechanics of movie Daleks, in particular the ones that had their plungers upgraded to clamps and then didn't bother using them - 'Idle Vice'

There was a point where one of the security team challenged a shoplifter just as we were leaving. The guy turned round to find the guard with my Dalek following close behind, dropped his shopping and ran.

I wish we'd filmed it now for exactly that reason. 😁
