Wouldn't adventures in time, NUMBA 6 have been ironic? Let me explain a little.
Once upon a time there is a tv show called 'The Prisoner', in this said show there is a secret agent man who quits his job- he is then kidnapped and put into a 'perfect' place called 'the village'. Everyone here has no name, but a number and his is number 6. Any time he tries to escape he is stopped by various means, one of them being a enigmatic bubble called 'Rover' *points up* That thingy. It roars...no, really, go ask your parents.
"Doctor-" "Sh! ....Be very still."
I don't own Doctor Who nor do I own The Prisoner. References used: Doctor: [link] Village: [link]
