          Here, just a cotton pickin’ minute – there wasn’t a winner announced for competition #2. I demand a recount.

          Oh, and caption here:
          (Dalek to robothingy): Psst. Who’s your friend? She looks a bit of a dog.

          OR

          (Heidi to others): That Bugblatter Beast was tasty. Who’s next?

          It’s not the winning, Brian, it’s the taking part.

          Do we have to think of a caption for each picture, or a joint caption for both pictures?

          Er … um… I had thought of the pictures as a kind of two-part cartoon strip. But really, whatever takes your fancy. I do hope you’re not taking this seriously, Maxine.

          Is that a faux-bot in your pocket, or are you just happy to T. Rex me?

          Actually, Brian, I think you won it. You were certainly in the lead by a short whisker when Bad Taste Light Stopped Play.

          At my Cambridge College the popular response to canteen food was ‘Because 9 out of ten students preferred their cats’. Don’t tell Bob.

          Happy Birthday, Penny.

          You look simply divine in that outfit Henry’s going to buy you.

          Is that a caption? And how did you know I’d bought Penny a Dalek costume? Shame on you for shaking the box.

          Don’t give him ideas Richard! I am amassing a collection of daleks, no costume as yet though. Thank you for the birthday greeting. It is glorious up here in Cromer today.

          Oooh, a caption competition! Can anyone join in while they wait for simulations to finish?
          As part of the 2 picture sequence:

          “Tony Hart was particularly pleased with this week’s Gallery entry from Henry, aged 5, from Norfolk. Then a ferocious hairy beast devoured him, leaving Morph to finish the programme.”

          That’s probably only funny if you’ve been living in Britain during the 70’s and 80’s though. Or perhaps not even funny then.
