John tries, but misunderstands
Also Klieg, Toberman, and Kaftan are a throuple, and Klieg gets off on watching the other two enjoy themselves. It was logical.

The War Machines and The Faceless Ones are actually overcomplicated Dalek plots to kidnap Doctor Who. When they both fail, the Daleks simply decide to steal the TARDIS. I can scent it.

Can I send you a DM?

Very interested in Turlough and K9 and Company - is this something you can help with please?

The final artefact we found was this. Even our most experienced researchers could not identify for certain what chocolate this was. The colours suggest Cadbury's as does the wording; 'Silk Cut', but we found no evidence of such a bar existing.

What could it be? Perhaps you can help...

There is hardly any record of this bar I'm the archive. Clearly unpopular, it must have been quickly discontinued.

However, once again, it shows how willing our ancestors were to try new things, no matter how unappetising the proposition.

Even more mysterious was this. Another Cadbury, but none of us recognised the wrapper. Following some deep research we can reveal that this a Cadbury's Silk -'5 blended milk and plain chocolates with tangy strawberry mousse centres'

That this is a Cadbury's wrapper is not in doubt. But what was the bar? It's too faded to make out.

Then we saw the wording: "2 Twists of Milk Chocolate". This matches the description of the legendary Spira that our ancestors spoke so fondly of - could this be proof of its actual existence? Yes.

Next is Terry's Of York Chocolate Orange bar c 1991 - a spinoff from the classic Chocolate Orange. Note the branding, easily the worst Chocolate Orange livery of all time. I don't know how our ancestors coped.

We will now reveal our la that our ancestors enjoyed sweet as well as savoury snacks.

The first piece of evidence is this, a Milky Way wrapper. Note the white logo on the blue background

Previous findings of Seabrook packets contain the legend "PLEASE STRONG AVOID LIGHT" written across the top. Although faded, you can still make out the words STRONG LIGHT on this new find.

This phrase must have meant something important to our ancestors, however its meaning has been lost in time.

This is not the most significant thing about the item, however. On the back of the packet is a best before date 28 September 1991, allowing us to pinpoint an exact year to our findings, and proved our initial theories of early to mid 1990s correct.

One of our more signicant finds - a Seabrook "Crinkle Cut" potato crisp packet. The flavour is the non standard Worcester Sauce but note the spelling on the packet which reads 'Wuster'. This was a common variable and was perhaps used as an aid to pronunciation.
