Brilliant publicity stunt - no doubt in my mind.

However, the Wookey Hole caves thing is very perculiar.

I was there a few years ago - amazing caves, wondrous grandeur, awesome timescales, humbling nature etc...

Then you come out into some naff visitor centre with a Madame Tussauds left-overs such as Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy waxworks exhibition.

Kinda surreal and totally destroyed the atmosphere.

Must have been a temporary exhibit; I've never seen those.

Maybe they all got nicked and held to ransom?

It was a few years ago - maybe they got rid of it as I and many others had written our displeasure in the visitor's book.

Wookey Hole was (is?) owned by Tussauds Group.

Y'know, it strikes me that it would be cool to take advantage of the Smart's removable panels and small wheelbase to make a road-going Dalek...
