Tachyon TV Investigates: When Pee Turns Green

1800greenpeTime was when a fear of typecasting was the only thing to plague veteran Sci-Fi actors. But a new problem has surfaced amongst the alumnus from various 70's and 80's cheap BBC futuristic series.

Nothing, according to the props and set design departments of the 70's, said "futuristic" more than fancy coloured green beverages. One poor soul, let's call him 'V' to protect his identity (we've also blurred his features to render him unrecognisable), didn't realise until it was too late what sort of cumulative damage 4 years of drinking this green dye would have.

Soon after completing shooting on the series his pee turned the same luminous shade of green and hasn't yet returned to normal. Concern has led him to create a support group to help those similarly afflicted after drinking their way through take after take consuming vast amounts of garish coloured liquid, be it Bo Juice, Synthahol or Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.

Chav Long considered a family show aimed at children, Doctor Who faces an altogether new breed of teenager. We asked the crucial 12 to 16 year old  demographic, why didn't YOU tune into the new series?

  1. Show came highly recommended by the same bastard who grounded me.
  2. Can never find TV remote while on smack high.
  3. Old news. Downloaded the first episode off Kazzaa weeks ago. Some black and white shit with an old guy in a junk yard?
  4. Too busy shagging on the sofa to hide behind it.
  5. Couldn't make bail.
  6. I never miss Merry and Pippin on ITV.
  7. Too busy parkouring off the television to actually watch it.

Now that the first episode of the new Doctor Who series has aired, spoiler-wary fans across the country are emerging from their self-imposed isolation to avoid all possible spoilers. Tachyon TV asked the hard core fans, what did YOU do to avoid those pesky spoilers?

  1. Avoided all set reports, cast interviews and episode guides by browsing AICN exclusively.
  2. Tore modem from wall, chopped down telegraph pole outside house.
  3. Spent four weeks off work hiding in shed with eyes tightly closed and fingers in ears screaming "la la la, I am not listening."
  4. Perfected amnesia ray. Sorry, what was the question again?
  5. Watched and taped every nanosecond of advance coverage, then pretended really hard that I hadn't.
  6. Joined collaborative web blog and waxed nostalgic.
  7. Moved to USA. No fucking chance of seeing any of it there.
