sometimes they had a claw instead of an egg whisk, remember that? as eddie izzard once said, "what was that for? 'yes, we will exterminate, but first we shall gather nuts...'"3
Oooo, the claw ones were the worst. But what really freaked me out was the brain in the fish tank.4
brain in a fish tank? you have some interesting ornaments on your telly!5
Otherwise known as 'The Brain of Morbius' http://www.pressenter.com/~stevenma/TheBrainofMorbius.html -- though Morbius doesn't look at all as I remember him. Kind of reminds me of the Smash aliens, with added hairy bits (this will be incomprehensible to non-British readers). At some point before Morbius gets a body of sorts to put his brain in, it resides in green gloop in a fish tank. This episode has been parodied several times in Futurama (along with just about every other Sci-Fi film. -----

lovely pics, as usual, although the pitcher plant also resurfaced deeply repressed memories of hiding behind the sofa when 'day of the triffids' was on tv.----- Thanks! I get the same feeling when I see dustbins: I spent a lot of my childhood peering out at the daleks from behind the sofa. They still scare me... Not the plunger and the egg whisk...
