THE BEN JACKSON GUIDE TO LIFE!!! 

(Thanks to Daniel Callahan)

HEAR BEN SPEAK!!!! 

Down-to-Earth Able Seaman Ben Jackson had a no-nonsense view on things. And during his run on Doctor Who, he gave his companions and the viewing audience these little pearls of wisdom. Thanks to Daniel Callahan for compiling them for me. 

Ben Jackson's advice on: 

POLITICS -"Guv'ners are all the same!" 

UNDERAGE DRINKING-"When I was kid we lived alongside a brewery. You could take a walk and get tipsy all in one go." 

GENDER ROLES IN COMBAT-"This is men's work!" 

WOMEN'S LIBERATION-"I think Polly's gone all snooty on us!" 

PROBLEM SOLVING-"Come on, it's time we sorted this out." 

RESPONSIBILITY-"Oh come off it, we haven't done a thing!" 

STAYING OUT LATE-"I have to get back to barracks!" 

TIME TRAVEL-"It's a bit difficult to explain, sir!" 

WHAT TO DO WHEN FACED WITH ALIEN INVASION-"All we have to do is wait!" 

TELEPATHIC ALIENS-"Oh shut up!" 

DISCOVERING INFINITE VOLUME INSIDE AN ORDINARY POLICE BOX-"Blimey, where did all this come from?" 

UNPLEASANT SURPRISES-"Blimey!"
