DOCTOR WHO: SPAWN OF THE GUPPIES

Our friend told us about her fish.

She has about six - guppies and fantails and the like. They're all named after characters from Doctor Who.

There's the Cyberman, Sarah Jane, Luke and more. Sarah Jane and the Cyberman bred and spawned but the other fish ate all the fertilised eggs! They must have been hungry daleks!

Most interesting is the Tardis ornament resting on the gravel floor. 

What do you reckon those fish do when they go in that Tardis?

Have you got goldfish? Have you named anything after a Sci-Fi show?

  1. Luke ?
    There's no Luke in Dr Who that I know of.

    1. I think our friend said Luke was in the Sarah Jane spin-off. A home-made boy?

    I do not have any gold fish, but I do have a few aquarium ornaments (though not a Tardis). Cast in heavy resin and pre-painted, these are good for dioramas or as photographic backgrounds. Apart from sunken galleons and treasure chests, there are castles, ancient ruins, crashed aircraft, and rocky outcrops.

    1. Yes. I can see how they could be useful Paul.

  3. Ah, so Luke was in The Sarah Jane Adventures. I didn't know.
    OK, so he's in canon, but not actually in Dr Who ?

    1. Apparently Mish, yes the SJ Adventures. I'm not a WHO follower anymore so what's in or out I wouldn't know. I suppose our friend has taken what she wants from the main show and the spin-off.

  4. Luke is the one who ends up with K9. Sarah Jane Smith gives it to him when he goes off to university!

  5. K9 was designed by a BBC Visual Effects Designer called Tony Harding, I believe.
    I think it was built by him and Mat Irvine, another Designer in that department.
