Battle of the Daleks
Daibhid Ceanaideach
The two Special Space Security agents looked over the hill at the Dalek
outpost.
"Did you call for back up?" asked Vyon.
"Yes." Cory replied. "I asked for the agent you mentioned by name." He
looked up. "That must be him now."
A SSS shuttle landed near them. The hatch opened and out came a small,
cylindrical robot, that looked vaguely like one in an 20th century
science-fiction film Vyon had seen once.
In a voice reminiscent of the *other* robot from the film, he said "Oh,
dear! I'm not designed for fieldwork. When I was with G-Force I just
stayed in the control room..."
"You fool, Cory!" Vyon said angrily. "I asked you to request top robot
agent *Mark* Seven!"

fading bad memory... ;-P But someone HAD to remind me, didn't they?? <thwap>
(BTW- is it just me who sees Eric Roberts' performance in the TVM and thinks
of Berg Katse?? ;-P)
Besides, the Xmas special seemed to be channeling Mazinger Z, so we have a
precendent!!
It does, as Brad will know, also work the other way... Space Pirate Captain
Harlock (1978) contains something that can only be described as a green
sontaran... and Cyberman analogues seem to be rife in 70's anime for some
reason...<g> Bluetits and milk-bottle tops...

I apologise. I was reading the DWM article about Nation's plans for
turning The Dalek Outer Space Book into a TV series, and I suddenly
thought "What does the name Mark Seven remind me of?" And once I
realised, I *had* to write a story about it...
