I beg to differ, but as convention goers know, we can get jelly babies here in the US now. They run from $1.50 to $3.00 a box, depending on the dealer and/or how many boxes you buy. They are all under a freshness seal, with a "Not to be sold after:" date on the box (I think I saw that, anyway). I particularly enjoy the red ones, the orange ones, and the yellow ones. I do NOT like the black or purple ones, however. So, find your nearest convention, and buy out a few dealers' stocks. Also, the first time that Tom Baker's Doctor brought out jelly babies was during his first show, "Robot". I don't know if he pulled them out before the ending, but I think that in spite of a somewhat blah script, it was a classic for Tom Baker, and set then scene for his character. Any other times the Sonic Screwdriver failed? I know there are more, I just don't know the story titles. Rick Greene ...!ihnp4!psuvax1!vu-vlsi!excalibur!188622462 Reply to postings! Send mail!
