I decided to dig out one of my old DVDs of Doctor Who, to be more specific the Revelation Of The Daleks episode originally broadcast in 1985. This was the last episode to be transmitted before the series went on an 18 month hiatus and starred Colin Baker in the lead role with Nicola Bryant as companion Peri Brown where they went to a planet where the Daleks were guarding a set of bodies trapped in suspended animation.
Also appearing in the episode was Alexei Sayle as a DJ who played rock and roll music to the dead bodies and that's one of the main things I can remember about the episode when it was repeated back in 1993 as part of the series 30th anniversary.
It's probably also known for the end finishing whilst the Doctor is in mid-sentence promising that he would take Peri to Blackpool which was meant to be the setting of the next story, had the series not been postponed.
The DVD contains a commentary by Nicola Bryant, director Graeme Harper, writer Eric Saward and Terry Molloy who played Davros and is now better known as Mike Tucker in the Archers.
If I remember correctly it was one of the first DVDs I brought when I started University during Freshers Week although I was barely up to much at all that week and Smoke Radio didn't really play a part in any way, although this was because of being unable to recieve the ever intermittent Real Player stream in halls.
And up until last year I really thought that would be my least favourite Freshers Week at University.
