Lily Allen wants to become Doctor Who's assistant

Lily Allen thinks she'd be ideal to assume the role when Matt Smith takes on the role of the Doctor in the eponymous BBC drama next year. Lily said she thinks she can bring an "edge" to the part and would be a perfect fit as at 24, Matt is only two years older than her. Lily told Britain's New Magazine: "Oh yeah, I have my eye on that project. I'm a massive fan of 'Doctor Who', and me and Matt are in the same age bracket, so it would look far better if they had someone like me."

The Optera

The Optera resembled humanoid woodlice, with a heavy carapace and six arms. They moved by hopping. They had large eyes, sensitive to the light and ring of tendrils around their head.

The Optera were a primitive culture, with no advanced technology. They feared the Animus, who they called Pwodarauk, as well as anything from the surface world and light. They worshipped the Monoptera as gods and painted their images on the walls.

Much of their language was metaphorical or poetic in basis. For example, the walls were "silent walls", to dig was to "open mouths" and acid was the "water that killed"

When the Animus came to Vortis, most of the Menoptera left the planet, but some stayed behind. They moved underground, eventually losing their wings and gaining the characteristics necessary for subterranean life.

Many years after this, Ian and Vrestin were being chased by the Zarbi when they fell into a cave. They were captured by the Optera, who planned to kill them, but when they realized that Vrestin was a Monoptera, they agreed to help them. Hetra, leader of the Optera, led them to the centre of the Carsinome, though Nemini gave her life to block an acid flow. When the Animus were defeated, the Optera joined the Menoptera on the surface, hoping to regain their wings.

Success!
