The Peter Cushing movies - Doctor Who and the Daleks and Daleks Invasion of Earth 2150AD - are the best things in the history of the universe. Ever. Ever! His character is actually called Doctor Who. (It's hard to explain why this revelation necessitated me pausing the DVD because I was laughing too much to follow the dialogue). And he exists in a brilliant, cracktastic fanfic AU where the Doctor is a mad human inventor living with his two granddaughters, Susan (8-year-old uber genius) and Barbara (dating Ian Chesterton, who's there only to make pratfalls and break things) and his niece Louise, who like Barbara is made of boobies. They encounter Daleks, all in glorious technicolour. And they save the day with magnets. And one of them stars Bernard Cribbins who was in all the Carry On movies. And at one point a Dalek's cunning plan is to get Susan to write their enemies a nice note to lure them in - "ADD AT THE BOT-TOM: WE ON-LY WANT TO BE FRIENDS".

Between that and the Fifth Doctor book I'm reading where he seems to spend a lot of time angsting over whether his feelings for his new 19-year-old companion Peri are entirely platonic, I'm a happy bee today.
