Leamington Spa Lifeboat Museum - Gather round, my friends! Now, what is wrong with this nice little DW tie-in website?
Could these very deliberate mistakes lead to a big spoiler, or was someone just having a larf?

1. Why would Leamington Spa, a town in the centre of the UK, near Birmingham, away from any moderately large body of water, need a lifeboat service?

2. Take a look at the first crew. Note that Albert Symonds appears to be from a completely different era from the other two, with his inflatable life jacket, whereas the others have old-stylie cork vests.

3. They all drowned saving two nuns and a priest. Now, come on! That has to be a joke!

4. In 88 years, the 'brave' lifeboat crew saved the amazing number of twelve people. And this is with two lifeboats. They must get pretty big puddles in Leamington Spa.

5. Sir Lancelot?

6. The 1930s crew was killed by a mad wolf. Go figure. (Yes, Queen Vic wasn't alive then, but still... The 'mad wolves' must be an ongoing problem.)

I don't really want to get started on Millingdales Ice Cream, but the flavours seem to be little references to various episodes. God help us when we get to Peas, Peas, Peas...

I skimmed through both sites a while back, but I couldn't fathom how on Earth they related to Doctor Who (unlike the previous UNIT and British Rocket Group spoof sites). I contented myself with playing that silly game on the Leamington Spa website (for those who haven't seen it before, click on 'Old Rope'), though I quicky got annoyed listening to Mickey's 'helpful' advice.

Thanks for pointing out those details, Neko-cat. I wonder what it all means... confused

I think they've been made up by the bbc to confuse us x.x

Edit: Have any of you guys been exploring on these sites? x.x

Yeah, the websites can be fun. I'm amazed the BBC puts so much effort into these things. Has anybody read through the list of messages left at Clive's website? Some funny ones include:

Sarah Jane Smith: I am a reporter doing a story on the Doctor. I am looking for an exclusive interview. I would appreciate if anyone could contact me immediately at the Daily Mail, if they see him in London.

Mr. Yates: I think it might be in your best interest to not concern yourself with the Doctor or his doings. He is not the man you think he is and he is not involved in the manner you think he is. I should know, he changed my life completely. The Doctor is protected by friends in high places.
(I wonder if he still hangs out with Benton?)

Arthur Dent: This rather odd man was lying down in front of a bulldozer in front of my home.

Peri Brown: He walked into my life one day, and right out of it. Interested in getting back in touch. Any information?
(How'd she return to Earth? And... can we send her back?)

There are quite a few of those websites floating round, like UNIT and GEOCOMTEX.
