The BBC has a news story online about a prankster group calling itself the “Guardians of the Planet Earth”, which has managed to steal a Dalek prop on display in a Somerset, England tourist attraction called the Wookey Hole Caves.
The Dalek comes from the long-running British science fiction series Doctor Who, which explains why the ransom note demands further instructions from the show’s main character, the Doctor.
Along with the ransom note, the Dalek’s “plunger arm”, referred to in the letter as it’s “destructive mechanism”, was left at the scene of the theft.
Colin Baker, who played the 6th Doctor from 1984 to 1986, is currently in contact with the attraction’s officials and may be used to send a message to the so-called kidnappers.
