I think I may know where the Doctor Who writers got the idea for the Adipose....

I saw them earlier - aren't they darling?! They are, I think, John's favourite creatures, with the possible exception of the orangutan.

I wonder if Dr. Who is on YouTube? - I've never yet managed to find him on TV, but YouTube I haven't even looked into. Now there's an idea!!

I'd always assumed the inspiration for the Adipose was the Pillsbury Dough Man.

Dr Who can be found (sometimes) via the BBC website

You could well be right - I just saw the whale pictures and they reminded me very much of the adipose, the dear little chubby things :-)

Unfortunately, as [profile] edith_jones is in Canadadadadia she probably won't be able to access it that way - it's UK only I think :-(

Those whales look more like overchubby dolphins. Cute, aren't they :)

Is there no way of fooling iPlayer into believing that a Canadiadiadian computer's in the UK? It must be possible, I'd have thought...

I'd be surprised if there wasn't. I have no clue how you'd go about it though. Go to London, Ontario maybe? :-)

It seems possible doesn't it? Although they seem to be cracking down quite hard on copyrighted content just now.

I had a quick look and didn't find any actual episodes, but I did finf this rather good video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYFe8IiGvl0) set to one of my favourite songs )"Run With Us" bu Melody and Mezzo).

I had a feeling you might like those :-) Can't think why :-)

Hmmm, I wonder. It's not as though this icon would give that away AT ALL...

*cough* :)

They are oddly sweet as monsters go, aren't they :)

My sister bought me an Adipose plushie for Christmas and I absolutely adore him :)
