Doctorin The Tardis was by The Timelords - an alias for Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond and a precursor for The KLF, which under this alias they had a bunch of hits and supposedly burnt £1M cash from the profits of those sales.

I've always wondered what kind of people actually went out and bought these things.

I'm not into novelty stuff, but clearly it's a very British thing.

Maybe I take music a bit too seriously, I don't know.

It was the middle finger aimed at the record industry to show how easy it was to make pop songs.
