They say when you have a question, go to the experts. . .

  Q:  Just what IS a jelly-baby, anyway?

A jelly-baby is British for a jelly-bean.  Best line in Dr. Who
regarding jelly-babies -

" Drop your weapons, or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly-baby"

-- From the "Face of Evil" ?

If you were in the Bay Area, I could tell you were to go to buy jelly
babies.  But...

A jelly baby is something like a gummy bear, only larger and softer
and shaped like a baby.

It is not.  A jelly-bean (not surprisingly) is shaped like a bean.
A jelly-baby is shaped like a baby.  Also jelly-beans are usually harder
than jelly-babies.

Jelly is what you Americans call jello.

	Also from "The Hand of Fear":

	Doctor:	"Here...have a Jelly Baby..."

	Lela:	"So it's true what they say...the evil one eats babies!"
