The Happiness Patrol Episode Six: The End Of Time, Part 1 Review















The End is NEAR! Or, to put in in a more precise way, The End Of Time is near! We here at The Happiness Patrol could not be more thrilled! So, on this episode, Dale, Lela, Lewis, Tara and K-9 review the first half of Russell T. Davies' two part epic that will put a period (or exclamation mark) on one of the most beloved eras of the history of Doctor Who.
Sit back and enjoy our musings on what it all means...our reactions to favorite characters, plot twists, and general gut feelings about the first half of The End Of Time.
PLUS, we take a listener challenge and act out a scene from the upcoming David Tennant pilot for NBC, "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" featuring K-9 and Lewis B.
Special props go out to The Guardians of Gallifrey Fan Club for letting The Happiness Patrol crash their annual Christmas Party!
Onward and upward!
Lewis B.

Charity Auction for Doctor Who Scarf!

Actual Scarf up for Auction




The Happiness Patrol is very proud to announce that our very own Tara Wheeler is helping out a friend, BritGeekGrrl, who recently lost her husband. Tara, as you may know, is an authority on Doctor Who scarves and is donating one for this honorable cause. Tara makes the best, most accurate replicas of the Tom Baker scarf that you can find...she's done TONS of research and has a color matching system that is so amazing it makes other scarves look like, well, toys.

If you'd like to bid on this scarf and help out a fellow Doctor Who fan in time of need...check out the Live Journal page.

Help BritGeekGrrl

Thanks and have a Happy Holiday Season!
