Doctor Who Fun Day '88

1988...
The Doctor had only 25 series/seasons under his belt - a half a dozen lifetimes ago. Now (s)he's bigger than ever, and the 50th anniversary has already passed on by. Modern audiences on this side of the Atlantic may have only the barest familiarity with the 20th century incarnations of our favorite Time Lord, and the first 8 regenerations. For you folks, just assume anyone you can't place in these cartoons is The Doctor. He's not always so uptight about crossing one's own timeline.

But, our theme for yesterday & today's Fun & Games is The Doctor and The Daleks, with our puzzles coming from the Annuals for both. So let us pause and reflect upon the most famous Daleks of all time...

Now for a word from the opposition...

Yesterday's tease of The Deano* also came from today's playground - the 2nd** in a series of books from Tim Quinn and Dickie Howett, the creators of the Doctor Who? cartoon that ran in Doctor Who Magazine.

*(The Deano is a play on the famous UK magazine, The Beano. The first strip presented on yesterday's feature, Doc The Menace is a take on the Brit incarnation of Dennis The Menace, which was referred to recently in the comments. (see what you miss if you don't read them?))

Tests And Recreational Dilemmas In Sequence

Too physically wiped out to participate in Friday Night Fights, even if i was mentally fit for it. But did manage to crawl out of bed to to post

We get a new Doctor in a few weeks. I'm curious to see how it plays out. Will they explore the question of why both the Master and the Doctor have regenerated in female form at the same time? Is there some over-arching reason for this within the Doctor Who universe? Or will they just leave it lie as an external political function of the story telling?
We'll find out soon enough.

In the meantime, we're here with some other puzzles, conundrums, and games from the Doctor and the Daleks. Let's open with a traditional Spaceword Puzzle to loosen up the ol' grey matter-

And, let's continue to give the brain some warm-up stretches with a couple short quizes-

There we are. Brain humming along now that we've primed it? Good. It's time to practice our cryptology. That'll come in handy if we're going to have to go underground to deal with the Daleks. (A friendly warning. I found number 3 to be a bit tricky on this first set)

If you've mastered the necessaries for communication, then it time to get the frell out of this world of Daleks. So grab a die and let's make our-

As usual, tune in tomorrow for the answers to our puzzles.
