Is there a Doctor in the house?

So I took my nephew to see the BBC National Orchestra of Wales last night. They performed a "Halloween Spooktacular", a concert of light classics and film score bits with a seasonal slant. A screen over the stage had an owl in flight during the Harry Potter segment, a clip from Pirates of the Caribbean, and they played some incidental music from Doctor Who with the scene showing above them (my personal favourite). It was a great concert, well performed, and introduced by some children's TV person. And my nephew loved it - especially when Dracula gave hime a goody bag in the interval full of BBC NOW bits and pieces (thank you Byron!)

Clearly, here in the photo, after the show, all was mayhem, with ray guns and monsters prowling around. Some poor kid tried to make it to the safety of the TARDIS but was mercilessly gunned down by a Dalek. Enlarge the picture and you'll see his skeleton in that special x-ray light that Dalek weapons provide. Somehow I lived to tell the tale.

At least in the current climate I'm not a Spurs fan.

That's low.

However, you do look a little frightened in the pic. Either frightened or as if you're undergoing some kind of mind-control...
