I'm watching Doctor Who - Victory of the Daleks on the computer (with my headphones in), and the bit where they turn on the London lights, I just heard an older style air plane going over outside.

Was he in the Victory of the Daleks?:eek:
Sorry couldn't resist it:o
What do you mean with older style air plane? Something that is correct for the 1930's/1940's or something that is not. I must watch it again and listen out for it.
I think that Rossby41 was watching the episode and an old-fashioned plane coincidentally flew overhead.
Much like that time when you were watching Dixon of Dock Green and the rozzers appeared at the door to arrest you for causing an affray.
You Sir are ruining my reputation.:mad:
Obviously I need the idiot explanation to understand it <doh>:o. Sorry OP, I had a blond moment, and I'm not even blond:eek:.
My sincerest apologies.
You were doing a perfectly good job on your own.
**reports outside for not contributing to the thread, because she doesn't know what else to say**
Anyway, my reputation is rock solid:p
To the OP: I wonder if anyone has a story like that to contribute.
To be fair Lach, there is very little left anyway!:o:D
*gets coat and edges slowly backwards toward the door*
Soz, couldn't resist!:p
**spontaneously combasts**
Ah, who am I kidding:D. Who needs a reputation when you can have......
Or that time I was fired for skipping work to watch Boys from the Blackstuff? That time I suffered a serious psychosis while watching Takin' Over the Asylum? That time I became addicted to heroin while watching Requiem for a Dream? That time I slipped into a dangerous, comical fantasy world of my own creation while watching Dogtanian?
Oh I can totally relate, man!:D
Propellers? They're not a old-style technology - it's only the large airliners that use big ol' jet engines. Most smaller planes are still prop-driven.
Not only that, airlines are replacing 70-100 seat commuter jets with 100-130 seat turbo-prop ones because of the fuel savings.
"I remember, I was returning with a colleague from Blackpool on a Saturday afternoon and I wanted to see the episode being shown that day. So we stopped at a television shop and asked if we could watch the programme.
"The assistant said she was just closing, but we could go to her house nearby and see it. When we got there we found her two children glued to the programme which had just started. I sat down quietly.
"Suddenly one of the children looked across at me. The he looked back at the set. The he looked back at me again. He couldn't believe his eyes!"
I've always loved that story, and don't we all wish it had been us!
Being Tom though, I think we have to take much of it with a huge pinch of salt!:D
You never know - you might get home, switch on the Iplayer, sit down to watch it, and there's Tom Baker standing in the corner of your room staring at you... Not doing anything else, just... staring.
And then you remember you have a life-size cardboard cut-out of him as the Doctor!:D
