   Yea, I saw just one episode that a friend of mine had on tape.  One of 
the scenes in the movie, if memory serves, had some "wild" cave-dwelling 
savages, or something like that, jumping around and howling, and one of 
the robots said, "People try to put us d-d-down...."  I nearly fell off 
the couch laughing.  So I'll bet one of the writers is a Who fan!
