One of my first reactions to this was, wow! It certainly is an unusual piece of infrastructure to see, and probably the most mobile. Where it was placed, it was

‘controlling’ a straight stretch of road, albeit a busy one. It looked like one of the first efforts to recreate a dalek, only this one wasn’t successful. No dalek ‘bumps’.

That’s the one line the students remembered, from the episode, “The empty child“, Season 1 of the New Doctor Who series. We went onto watch the final episode of the season, “Bad wolf“. Rivetting to the end, the students thought Doctor Who was great.

Ohhh, it’s Doctor Who!

I played an episode for the students and it was received with great interest. Students even stayed after class to watch it. Possibly because it had Korean sub-titles, and perhaps it was new and exciting. Okay so it was just the Slitheen, which I find boring, but the episode which really caught their interest was one featuring a Dalek. 40 years on, they, and the Doctor still have the ability to accure interest.

I was amazed and happy that they were interested. Yay for Doctor Who!
