I don't know about you, guy and gals, but I've always preferred the low-budget Slyther-tastic Dalek Invasion to the big bold Technicolor one that hit the cinemas during the summer of 1966. Sure, the effects were alright, and it had the brilliant Bernard Cribbins in it, but are you trying to tell me our great-great-great-grandchildren will be eating Sugar Puffs for their breakfast? Yeah right, any fool knows all food of the future will be in pill form... and we'll all be living on Mars anyway...

The earliest episodes of Doctor Who, featuring good old William Hartnell, were showing late on Friday nights... so late in fact, that sometime during the fifth episode I fell asleep! It'd been a long day, I was up early for school! Anyway, this proved to be a good thing in hindsight, as I ended up taping the last two 'ad breaks', which gives us a couple of unique trailers featuring Red Dwarf IV, Only Fools And Horses and Men Behaving Badly to view...
That's it for now, thanks for watching! During July 2011, WhoGold will be taking a closer look at how UK Gold promoted their Doctor Who repeats during the 1990s, which means lots of trailers! If you have any you would like to include, get in touch! See you 29th May for more WhoGold.
