Brisbane Joke on Dr Who
Owing to family, I have a remote connection to Janet Mahoney, a distinguished Shakespearean actor who also played the role of Tegan as the Doctor's assistant in the early days of the show.
In any case, she was responsible for the only known Queensland joke in the history of Doctor Who.
One of the Doctor's sidekicks has had an unfortunate encounter with a Dalek and is laid out on a slab in the Tardis.
Doctor Who: "We need to get him to a neutral environment."
Tegan (looking at the Doctor with a quizzical expression): "What? Brisbane?"
