Guys and Daleks By JFG Sergeant Benton, Mike Yates, the 3rd Doctor, Jo, and a Dalek were discussing travel at This Time Round. "If you went by jeep from UNIT HQ to Gotham it would take four hours," said Yates. "But Bessie, with twice the horsepower, would get you there in half the time," said Benton "WITH-DALEK-TIME-COR-RID-OR-TECH-NO-LO-GY-I-COULD-BE-THERE-IN-STANT-LY," said the Dalek. "I-WOULD-BE-WAI-TING-TO-EX-TER-MIN-ATE-YOU!" "Wouldn't work, old chap," said the Doctor. The Tardis could get me there five minutes before you'd leave here. I'd be waiting for you to arrive." Everyone turned to Jo, who'd been silent throughout the discussion. Benton asked "What about you, Miss?" Jo started. "Oh, I've already been and come back." They stared at her. "By train. Last week. Ate at the Burnt Spud. The food is terrible. Why would anyone want to go there?" |
