Cutting away from the Dalek Supreme, the Fourth Doctor's advice to Earthlings to enjoy their Weetabix "while stocks last" is played over the interruption of a human boy's breakfast by nearing cries of "Exterminate!".

Background & Invalidity[]
This short was broadcast in 1977. It featured a Dalek prop from Terry Nation's own collection, the red-domed "Supreme" also seen in Planet of the Daleks, though it is far from certain that this is the same Dalek in-universe. The Supreme was here performed and voiced by legendary Dalek operator John Scott Martin.
On the Tardis Data Core, the short is considered invalid due to its somewhat fourth-wall-breaking nature and to the fact that commercials in general are not considered valid sources.
