The Sensorites

"The Adorable One", "Four Hundred Yawns", "Doctor Who and the Potbellies"

"The One where Nothing Happens" (USA), "Doctor Who and Peter Glaze" (Crackerjack Fanclub Magazine)

Doctor Who saves the day when some men with beards go mad with deadly nightshade.

*** - Unintentionally hilarious

Carol "I don't know what we'd do if you took off your sashes - you'd all look the same"

City Administrator "Your blatantly racist remark has offended me - I am going to sue you for the distress this has caused me."

"Do you know, his pants were almost white?"

Sensorites often recreate the mirror scene from Duck Soup

The Sensorites was the first (and indeed only) Dr Who story to be made as an item on Blue Peter.

Contrary to popular myth, this story wasn’t released in a boxed set with other stories because no one would buy it on its own. It was released because Doctor Who fans like pretty boxes and don’t care about the contents as long as they can sell them on eBay for a profit.

Peter Glaze, who featured in this story, would go on to invent the Glaze Plugin air freshener.

The existence of this story was officially denied by the BBC until the 10th Anniversary Radio Times special blew the gaffe.

Use of the phrase “family group” during several scenes led a number of viewers to have spasms as the implication was that even Sensorites could have sex while fans could not.

Young money addicted Richard Branson (in his pre-pickle days) bought the rights to manufacture Sensorite action figures but failed to get the project off the ground. He would have to wait for Mike Oldfield to make him a rich man.

Albanian Video

"I was in the public bar at a memorabilia convention shortly after the release of the "William Hartnell" boxed set of three video cassettes. I was clutching my autograph pen just to be on the safe side when I overheard two proles talking. 'I don't suppose we'll ever know how many takes it took before Billy got the melting points of iron and molybdenum right' said the taller prole with a creased smile upon his conventionally aesthetic face. "Don't be pathetically stupid" I quipped from a little over twelve and a half feet away. "My book of metallic Doctor Who anecdotes makes it perfectly clear how many takes were used. I didn't spend three years researching it so witless imbeciles like you two could disparage it through contemptuous ignorance." He looked at his friend and muttered about me. I couldn't make it out clearly but it sounded like 'what a lucky DWAS' which suggests they belong to that tin pot organisation - I'm not surprised they were grossly ignorant in that case <g>"
