Daleks In Manhattan (Not Taken By Muppets)

Nothing really happened today. We watched the "Daleks In Manhattan" episode from the series 3 box set of Doctor Who and "The Dark Crystal", which is a cheesy but enjoyable nonetheless film made in 1982 by Jim Henson and featuring muppets (though none from "The Muppet Show", of course).

The voice talent in this film includes actors such as Billie Whitelaw (recently seen as the hotelier in "Hot Fuzz") and Michael Kilgarriff (who is familiar to Doctor Who anoraks, like myself, as the Cyber Controller in "Tomb Of The Cybermen" and "Attack Of The Cybermen" as well as Experimental Prototype Robot K1 aka "The Robot" in "Robot") in addition to the vocal & puppetry performances of Jim Henson and many of his fellow veteran muppeteers including Frank Oz (who co-directed the film with Henson) and Jerry Nelson.

Following a few hours in front of our computers, with dinner we watched "Evolution Of The Daleks" from the Doctor Who series 3 box set which was the 2nd part of "The Daleks In Manhattan" story.

Apart from that, most of my time was spent in front of the computer.
