"The Daleks" 10/10 Yep that's them.

"The Dalek Invasion of Earth" 8/10 Just a little marked down because the story isn't about the Invasion per se. That already happened. "The Dalek Occupation of Earth" would be more precise.

"The Chase" 9/10 It is about that but that is also a game show.

"The Daleks' Master Plan" 7/10 They're doing a bunch of stuff in this. The title implies only one plan. Need more clarification.

"Power of the Daleks" 10/10 great double meaning

"The Evil of the Daleks" 7/10 not wrong but also any Dalek story could be called this.

"Day of the Daleks" 5/10 There are at least two different days in play in this story.

"Planet of the Daleks" 3/10 That would be Skaro actually, whereas this takes place on Spiridon

"Death to the Daleks" 6/10 I like the imperative voice here but the story fails to deliver on this intention.

"Genesis of the Daleks" 10/10 That is exactly what happens.

"Destiny of the Daleks" 2/10 bears very little relation to anything going on here. Fundamentally a backward-looking story, and these sleepy ramshackle Daleks don't seem destined for much of anything, frankly.

"Resurrection of the Daleks" 2/10 Really misses the mark. There is a resurrection in this story but it's pretty unambiguously not of the Daleks. "Resurrection of Davros" would be a more accurate title. Or even better "The Resurrection of Davros by the Coward Eric Saward"

"Revelation of the Daleks" 2/10 Once again the verb in the title is fulfilled by Davros, not the Daleks! Sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!

"Remembrance of the Daleks" 4/10 Not much better I'm afraid. It is a nostalgic story so Remembrance is at least vaguely relevant, but it's not really the Daleks either being remembered or doing the remembering.

"Dalek" 10/10. Clean, simple, right on the money. That's a Dalek alright.

"Bad Wolf". 3/10 And we whiff it again. While the phrase "Bad Wolf" is indeed central to the cliffhanger reveal, it's not related to the Daleks, or to anything at all. It's a self-fulfilling tautology. The actual words are irrelevant. Could have been anything.

"The Parting of the Ways" 9/10 now this is more like it. Not only are there multiple partings of ways between multiple characters, every atom in every Dalek parts ways from every other! That's so much parting!

"Doomsday" 6/10 Again points off for vagueness. This could be about anything.

"Daleks in Manhattan" 10/10 There they are!

"Evolution of the Daleks" 8/10 doesn't succeed but that is what they're going for

"The Stolen Earth" 9/10 Yep that happens!

"Journey's End" 4/10 Come on. Literally the only person whose "Journey" Ends is Donna and that of course gets reversed. Vague and inaccurate.

"Victory of the Daleks" 5/10 sure they achieve their stayed goal in this one episode but thats pretty well undermined by the fact that nobody likes these Daleks and they get retconned out of existence within a couple years

"Asylum of the Daleks" 9/10 Straightforward. Only knocking a point off because there doesn't seem to be much mental health care going on here

"Into the Dalek" 10/10 that is what happens!

The Magician's Apprentice 4/10 We're stretching here. Name based on a one-time gag and not related to the Daleks anyway

The Witch's Familiar 6/10 this one is set up better but still isn't about Daleks

"Resolution" 7/10 A New Year's Resolution is made! But it's something the Doctor would have done anyway

"Revolution of the Daleks" 0/10 This is complete nonsense. The Daleks are cops and then the other Daleks come in to be cops to the cop Daleks. Nothing is revolutionary about this. Nothing

"Eve of the Daleks" 9/10 Yeah this one works. It's New Year's Eve and there's Daleks.

2-YEAR CHEDDAR

from GRAFTON VILLAGE

I usually try to review cheeses virginally - that is, ones that I’ve never had before. In this case, this is a cheddar I’ve had many times before. But I couldn’t leave it off the blog, what with its obvious appeal to leather and rubber fetishists.

As far as cheddars go, Grafton’s 2-year aged isn’t going to shock you. It’s mild, light on the salt, with a slightly sweet and grassy flavour. It’s got a nice texture. It’s dense, more moist than I expected, and smooth.

So what is the deal with the gummi suit on this cheese anyway? Well, cheese has obviously been around a lot longer than fridges. Fresh cheeses like mozzarella are too moist to last very long outside of a cold place (bacteria and fungi do so love damp places), though I don’t think anyone was too mad about eating that stuff quickly. But cheeses that have been aged (and dried) more have some more preservation options, which is where cheese wax comes in. The wax is a physical barrier, stopping fungal spores from landing, and also blocks moisture and air, making the cheese a pretty unfriendly place to grow. Even drier cheeses can be bandaged in cheesecloth and then slathered in lard to preserve them while allowing some ventilation.

A policeman recognizes that a serial killer is recreating Botticelli's Primavera with the corpses because he remembers this lady's exposed left breast. But in the real painting, her arm covers her boobs, and the diaphanous dress kinda does too. The left boob is just not particularly distinguishable (sorry).

One of the chapters begins with a quote from The Squire's Tale (she who sups with the devil needs a long spoon), but the book attributes that quote to The Merchant's Tale.

The policeman are playing Super Mario Bros on Hannibal's computer, but you can't play Nintendo games on PC. (They might be playing a fan port from that era called Mario Forever.)

There might be more mistakes; I haven't been looking for them. There are a ton of references and details in this book, and I don't look them all up.

Wellll sorry to disappoint you there Doctor, but:
