I beg to differ, but as convention goers know, we can get jelly babies
here in the US now. They run from $1.50 to $3.00 a box, depending on the
dealer and/or how many boxes you buy. They are all under a freshness seal,
with a "Not to be sold after:" date on the box (I think I saw that, anyway).
I particularly enjoy the red ones, the orange ones, and the yellow ones. I
do NOT like the black or purple ones, however. So, find your nearest
convention, and buy out a few dealers' stocks.

Also, the first time that Tom Baker's Doctor brought out jelly babies was
during his first show, "Robot". I don't know if he pulled them out before
the ending, but I think that in spite of a somewhat blah script, it was
a classic for Tom Baker, and set then scene for his character.

Any other times the Sonic Screwdriver failed? I know there are more, I just
don't know the story titles.
