Evil robot up for grabs on ebay

Auctionate!

A BLOKE IS flogging a robot called Steven on eBay which has an unfortunate likeness to a Dalek. Of course it is not a Dalek. If it were, the BBC would send the boys around to exterminate him for copyright theft. In some parallel universes, the Beeb copyright division has destroyed whole galaxies for such offences.

According to the auction the-not-really-a-Dalek-honest-guv looks like the evil twin of the ones on Dr Who. You can sit inside it and wheel yourself around with your feet. Steven comes with a voice modulator so that you can shout 'exterminate' at the neighbour's cat and declare yourself, against all the odds, to be a superior being. There's also plenty of room for upgrades. Steven could have, for example, a fire extinguisher fitted to his gun making him and his pilot excellent candidates for gimmicky fireman.

Steven has apparently done some acting work on YouTube staring in a Dr Who parody, but has found himself a little typecast and a bit limited in the roles he can take.
