Well, we can go with colour-coded boiler suits and hardhats instead, if you'd prefer. It's not a deal-breaker. ;D Very well then, consider yourself promoted to head of special projects; if any of the white-coated serfs ask what they're doing, tell them it has something to do with chickens. And eggs. But mainly chickens... Hey, I have degreee to be both an engineer and scientist, can I be one of your labcoat guys/girls... perhaps your extra specialist? I'm quite good particularly concerning biological, environmental, and genetic experiments. If you are aiming any of your evil plays that direction, JJ *practices evil laugh* Mwahh... *cough*.... sorry... let me try that again....

With credentials like that, you can be my chief of biological weapons research, which will no doubt come in handy when I make the world bow to my will persuade those BBC execs to preserve the Two episodes. Yes. The only thing is, if you want to be one of the whitecoats, you'll have to be able to do the accent. Read after me: "Fools! Nozzink in der vorld can schtop me now!!!"

I have to admit my German is weak, but I can say it in Spanish: Tontos! Nada en el mundo may puede para ahora!!!!! I'll be your Salamander! ;D Except... you are completely in charge, of course.

Alas, but I am just a highly trained ditch digger. What purpose might I have in an episode of Who?
I suppose that I am fairly good at lurching and making odd groaning sounds if you want an oh-noes-don't-too-fast-it-might-get-you rubber monster on site at any point?

Oh, CP. *huggles* I'm sure, JJ can find a suitable position for you too.

Alas, but I am just a highly trained ditch digger. What purpose might I have in an episode of Who? Clocket, when you know that there's always a place for the ill-fated archaeologist who digs up the alien artefact! (I thought of another one - Professor Marcus Scarman in Pyramids). Or you can be the helpful archaeologist, like Prf. Rumford, Prf. Colby and Benny herself. Your choices are more varied than me looking for short librarians. And, JJ, thank you very much. I shall clutch my clipboard and stride about with my nose in the air sounding sarcastic and superior so no one ever suspects that I really have a humanities degree. I can manage that and do the admin and be bossy, oh yes. *thinks* Drat, what if I have to wear an unfeasibly short skirt and high heels? In which case, I shall stay at my desk and type loudly, while looking over my glasses at other folk. I still refuse to be a henchman, though. I don't feel it's my calling. As to a virtual episode, I was thinking, especially as there are other writers here, this forum is exactly the sort of place that could use a ridiculous virtual party to mark the passing of the seasons. In grand tradition, I'll explain later!!

Did some say something about henchmen? I expect you have to be above a certain height to even be considered. I don't think I'd be tall enough, not that that is necessarily much of a bad thing.

I'll be your Salamander! ;D Except... you are completely in charge, of course. Of course! (note to self: watch that one; she has designs on the Big Swivelly Leather Chair of Power...) I suppose that I am fairly good at lurching and making odd groaning sounds if you want an oh-noes-don't-too-fast-it-might-get-you rubber monster on site at any point? I think you may be a bit overqualified for that position; I do, however, need somebody to feed to the piranhas and clean out their tank... Alternatively, I do still have an opening for a henchperson-in-chief. You'll have to learn how to use a variety of throwing knives/pistols/rayguns/flamethrowers/razor-edged bowler hats, and probably get one of those scary hairdos like Liz Shaw has in Inferno, but on the plus side, you do get to have a big fight with the hero just before he chucks you in the piranha tank and jokes about it afterwards loses. Drat, what if I have to wear an unfeasibly short skirt and high heels? Funny you should say that, actually... Did some say something about henchmen? I expect you have to be above a certain height to even be considered. I don't think I'd be tall enough, not that that is necessarily much of a bad thing. Oh no, Project: Dominate is, I think you'll find, very much an equal opportunities employer, with competitive pay and working conditions and an attractive package of employee benefits; we'll provide the colorful overalls, hardhat and machine-gun. Just fill in a form, and we'll get back to you. Some experience in crime and/or violence would be useful, but not essential. Of course, as mentioned above, there is a negligible risk that some heroic individual will end up killing you in some horrendous fashion and then making a witty quip about it afterwards, but that's just the modern workplace for you, isn't it?

Machine gun? Sounds good. Not too sure about the recoil, though. And the James Bondian quip. Could do worse, I suppose. *ponders*

Master er, JJ you may not be able to hire enough people with the skillset you need to accomplish your goal of universal domination. Keep me in mind if you find that you need to create a good henchperson training program. I can design and develop the program, teach it, and even measure its effectiveness.

*just stands there* *blinks a few times* Right. This just screams disaster. Call me when Clocket out fools JJ and does not get eaten by piranhas, LL secretly brainwashes the new recruits to following her commons with her training program and Abby gets a hold of the files, which reviles all the secrets of all of us, to then stomp on both of yah (JJ and LL) and take over the world.
I'm going to other stuff. Have fun!

Tsk, Tsk. Always the pessimist. Newton.

But what am I, JJ? Seaweed? Oh no, Maggadin; I have a special role in mind for you. As seems inevitable in this sort of endeavour, there will no doubt, regrettably, be certain individuals who will prove...obstructive to my plan to force the world to submit to my total domination stop the BBC from burninating Evil of the Daleks. In the normal course of things, of course, such individuals can be bribed and/or blackmailed persuaded to withdraw their objections. Some people, however, may prove more stubborn, and in those cases, more...drastic action may be required. The word "assassin" is so outdated, and with so many negative connotations; I prefer the term "executive problem solver". Basically, if you can do backflips and know how to break men's necks with your ankles, the job's yours. The leather catsuit is purely optional. Master er, JJ you may not be able to hire enough people with the skillset you need to accomplish your goal of universal domination. Keep me in mind if you find that you need to create a good henchperson training program. I can design and develop the program, teach it, and even measure its effectiveness. You're hired! Obviously, we can discuss details later, but I like some of your ideas already. Personally, I always envisaged a training programme something like this: Let me know what you think. JJ OBVIOUSLY has my safety at heart; it's not his fault these so-called-heroes will murder and quip. Well, precisely, Clocket, precisely; I can hardly be held responsible for the deplorable standards of behavour demonstrated by modern day government employees, can I? And it isn't as if we don't supply generous insurance packages for all of our henchpeople to guard against just such unpleasant eventualities. Having said that, Newton seems to have the inside track on quite a few potential problems facing the project; perhaps we need to discuss some things, Newton??

Funny you should say that, actually... Okay, how about those 70's platform boots with short skirt and tights? I might still be able to walk. *contemplates whether my role would be similar to that of say, ooh, Krau Timmin...*

I can't do backflips. Oh. *does Tom Baker-style "thinking face"* What about throwing knives, then? We can make that work. Funny you should say that, actually... *contemplates whether my role would be similar to that of say, ooh, Krau Timmin...* I think you'll have to fight Abby for the role of untrustworthy would-be power behind the throne; she seems to have designs on that one herself... ;D (and while you two fight, my position remains unchallenged...) Silver 70s platform boots? And matching tinfoil-looking dress?

Can't I do something that doesn't require athleticity?
