Quotes
-
Leela : Doctor, what is the Peking...
Doctor Who : Homunculus.
Leela : Homunculus.
Doctor Who : It was made in Peking for the Commissioner of the Icelandic Alliance. It was in the ice age about the year 5000.
Professor Litefoot : Preposterous.
Leela : Shh. Go on, Doctor.
Doctor Who : Peking Homunculus was a... was a toy. A plaything for the Commissioner's children. It contained a series of magnetic fields operating on a printed circuit and a small computer. It had one organic component - the cerebral cortex of a pig. Anyway, something went wrong. It almost caused World War Six.
Professor Litefoot : What?
Doctor Who : Yeah. Somehow the pig part took over. So Weng-Chiang has brought the Peking Homunculus back through time. He could have done. Disappeared completely. It was never found.
