Anyone remember the MECHANOIDS? Another TERRY NATION creation for the BBC TV DOCTOR WHO show, I doubt that Tel got quite as rich off them as he did the DALEKS, but they must've brought in a bob or two for the writer. I recall them more now from the TV21 strips than I do the Television series (though I still remember them, dimly, from that), but they've been absent from anywhere for quite some time.
Anyway, one came to live with me today. He's a bit wary of his many Dalek roommates, but I'm sure they'll soon all be getting on like a house on fire. Let's just hope it doesn't actually lead to that, eh? Hotels are expensive at this time of year, and I remember reading about one young couple who couldn't get a room - and her expecting, too. I call my new guest MICKEY, and he's quiet as a mouse. (Hey, that was almost a joke.)

Well, I loved them when they came out and I was always waiting for a rematch, but it never happened. Seems I was in a minority again!
I never saw one of these in the shops, otherwise I would have had to have one to go with my grey plastic Dalek!
Well done on your acquisition, Kid. I KNOW he has gone to a loving home!
Well, I love him, JP - not quite sure about my Daleks yet. I'm sure he'll grow on them 'though.
