    A few years ago, I went to Blackpool with my daughter, She was maybe 4, I was 35.

    In the Blackpool tower aquarium building there was, as part of an exhibition, a moving Dalek and a Cyberman.

    My Daughter loved them, but.. It wasn't the Dalek, but the Cyberman. Somewhere deep in my chest was something screaming, "GET AWAY... RUUUUUUN!" Of course had to be manly on the outside, "Come away darling, we've got loads more to see...." :D

    Mind you Doctor who paled into insignificance in the terror stakes alongside.... The Stone Tape.

    Now that WAS scary. A Nigel Kneal masterpiece. I saw it again a couple of years ago, and it was almost laughably dated. Typical 70's cheap TV, where shouting replaced acting, but still, what a story. If anything is due a remake with modern production and effects it is that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wixCpfngyG4

    There is actually a semi/pseudo scientific theory named after the story, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Tape
