Terry doesn’t have an upper lip. So, when @crgn.bsky.social requested Salvador Dali for #PlasticeneHalloween, we knew we couldn’t just slap a moustache on Terry and call it a costume.

Instead, we created:

I’m tempted to try

So Disappointed @sodisappointed.bsky.social · 2d

Oh yes! That’s lovely.

Calling all #DoctorWho fans! Which Doctor should we dress Terry up as for Hallowe’en?

NB: We’re implementing a strict ‘no woolly scarves’ policy as Tom Baker - who we love, of course - is a bit too obvious. But please feel free to choose any other incarnation!

Coming up next on #PlasticeneHallowe’en

FRIDAY: For @robinparker.bsky.social - Terry dresses up as Bob from Twin Peaks - you don’t want to miss this one!!
SATURDAY: For @crgn.bsky.social - we have a Salvador Dali inspired Terry. Which I’m ridiculously proud of.

3) We hope you’ll share it and more people will get to find our silly/serious podcast.
