I've just watched Waris Hussein Remembers. Excellent. I saw him at the 50th Dr Who event at Excel. I took to him there and again tonight. This time his voice reminded me so much of someone else. It took me a while but it was the former Dr Who script editor and Vinyl Detective author Andrew Cartmel.@brian s - I just noticed this on BBC4 this evening from 10pm ...

Auction of the Daleks ...
BBC Doctor Who Daleks for auction in Gloucestershire
One of the villains for sale is thought to have been used on-screen in the Doctor Who revival in 2005 and both are fully 'drivable'www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk
The 'bronze' one doesn't really appear to be a genuine new Who Dalek, imo .
The fully working human-sized models, one red and one gold, will be sold at an John Rolfe Auctions in Tetbury, with a guide price of £500-£800.
"We rely on nerds," said auctioneer John Rolfe, who depended on Doctor Who fans for an idea of the estimate.
Speaking to BBC Gloucestershire, he said: "I can't pretend I know everything, no auctioneer does.
"It's the first time I've handled such a creature".
In Doctor Who, the Doctor first encountered the tank-like aliens from the planet Skaro in 1963.
"We've had lots of Doctor Who buffs, who I love," said Mr Rolfe.
"They get in touch and give me different pieces of information and I try and come up with something, but it's near enough impossible," he said.
The red Dalek may have formed part of a long-running Doctor Who exhibition at Longleat House, Wiltshire, which ran for nearly 30 years from 1974.
It is thought the gold version, equipped with a seat and controls for its weapons, may have appeared in the relaunched Doctor Who series in the early 2000s.
Mr Rolfe was unaware the Daleks were being brought in for sale until they were unloaded at his auction house from the back of a van.
"Quite an eccentric gentleman was having a clear-out.
"He had been storing the Daleks in his mother's living room and she was sick of the sight of them.
"She said they had to be gone," he added.
A jacket similar to the one worn by Colin Baker and a long scarf like the one worn by Tom Baker are also included in the collectors' sale on Sunday.

He reflects on his journey from a Glasgow tenement block, how he owes his career to a lot of luck and why early failures have made him a better actor.
