his name on his convention badge, but still she'd given him an unpleasant
shock. At least, taking his cue from some of the badges he'd noticed, he wasn't
displaying his surname. 'Afraid so,' he said as unwelcomingly as he could.
'Mine too. I'm Beer,' she said, pointing one fat finger at the
badge on her overstuffed T-shirt. 'Do you watch anything besides Star Trek?'
'Good God, yes.'
'So do I. Blake's Seven and Space 1999 and Doctor
Who and The Prisoner, of course, Do you know, I was talking to
someone this morning who never watches anything except Star Trek. You don't
expect people to be narrow-minded here, do you? I mean, sci-fi is about
broadening your mind.'

It had a name at last.
Between the screen and the top of the case large odd-looking letters in dark
winegum purple spelt out: VURFING THE GWRX
Brian giggled. "Whosing the What? How'd you say that, goo-erks or
what?"
"Oh, go ask a Dalek -"
from Vurfing the Gwrx by Mike Scott Rohan (1982), in Peter
Davison's Book of Alien Monsters (Sparrow Books, 1982)

Whose Line is it Anyway?, an improvisational TV game show, broadcast
on NZ TV on Friday 4 September 1993 had a game of 'props' where two contestants
team up, are given a prop and have to improvise a short scene using that prop.
Tony Slatterly and Ryan Stiles were teamed up and given a rubber flipper. In
their first scene, Tony holds the flipper to his chest and says 'It is a cheap
episode of Doctor Who, and I am one of the flipper people,' then waves the
flipper.
