It's the plunger.
I'm sorry if I've offended your Classic Doctor Who sensibilities, but it is indeed the plunger.
For the record, I also find the cyberconverter ridonkulous with it's spinning blades and probing and sticking devices.
Despite my protestations the Daleks are back for series five for sure, not sure about the Cybermen.
It just reeks of old Who. There was a reason I didn't watch old Who, I know it existed (it ran after Monty Python on public TV when I was young) but it looked like something someone made in their backyard with plumbing supplies and Halloween costumes.
Hey, maybe Steve Moffat can find a way to make each of them more relevant. Maybe the recent auction of Who props cleared out all the old Dalek guard and they're creating new ones, maybe without a plunger.
No, I'm not banking on that happening. Too many legacy fans would erupt in protest.
More on the aforementioned auction at this link and video at this link featuring John Barrowman from the BBC's The One Show. He also backtracks on previous Torchwood statements but says he wants to do a US version if it's made.
