Favourite #WorldBookDay moment ...
Asked a hall full of children if any of them knew what a Dalek was ... girl RAN up to the stage and announced ... it's a small onion but strong. Cut it and you'll cry.

Doomwatch - Tomorrow, The Rat (2nd March 1970). If you can disregard the scene with the prop rats affixed to Toby's trousers, then there's still plenty in this episode that's creepily effective.

I found what once might have rested on a floppy;
And the file, from those obscure ranges,
Contained none of my most recent changes.

It fell to my disc, somewhere locally;
For 3 bells chime and I must dash,
How often does a hard disc crash?

For, so swiftly it was saved, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight...
