“Did you bake the pie yourself?” “Sure. I used a constant ratio to calculate the diameter. Yes it’s a pi pie. Oh and the circumference. So it’s a pi pi American pie”

I wonder if there will be any over the shoulder shots in this film? Grin

Humour by typo. I told my boss. She said"typical"

‘Clangers’ was a kids’ show, of course, not a documentary about OSP’s social skills

Peter Graves, brother of James Arness by the way, did a lot of these films in the early days. He's best known as Mr. Phelps from Mission Impossible. The mission, if you choose to accept it....

“Paul Nelson here. Any news on the mission? Impossible! Now THERE's an idea...”

Don't know about conical graduations, but I once taught some 4-year olds about conic sections using a torch and a carrot. Does that count?

Russ Bender to the rus-cue. That’s him in the military cap. Serious actor. i.e. seriously atrocious
 
Cygnus Bazza
You could cut the atmosphere in Tom’s house with a kitchen utensil Tom has no idea how to use
 
Paula
Oh, those two tier side tables- we had a pair of those when I was a kid.

Tom’s talking to Baby Clanger

Who's Exidor????? Do you mean exit door?
 
Paula
You know it's a genuine scientific lab because they have white coats on and some cheap 8x10 photos pinned to the wall.

“Tom, you’ve forgotten to take your medication again…”

Which soldier is Bender?

Eff me. How wooden is Russ? You could build two and a half arks out of him.
 
Paula
All the lab's monitors show the beginning of The Outer Limits.

Peaked cap. The General. General Paddick. Though General Panic would be better

Tom’s bonded with the alien but how does he know it’s a ‘him’? Maybe they’ve got a shared abhorrence of household chores.
 
Paula
Why is someone playing the xylophone? Is that supposed to sound alien to us??

Tom’s now talking to Major Clanger. Which is appropriate.

Why did the aircraft explode if its engines had shut down???

Oh, dear! We get a look at the monster. Please, stop, I'm crying with laughing.
