Daleks Jones

Radio Host at Clom FM

**Daleks Jones** is a DJ and host on local radio station **Clom FM**, presenting the popular Dalekstravaganza show. She is known to be one of TCoS' biggest proponents in the media world, enjoying an extremely cordial rapport with the band.

## Life and Career

Originally coming from Androzani Major, despite what her name might suggest, Daleks Jones in not a dalek, and as such is not related to either Dalekcheese or Dalek Rabe. “Daleks” is in fact a very popular name on Androzani, being derived from the traditional Androzanian name “D'Leksa”. Extremely scientifically adept, Jones attended university on Telos, where she got a masters degree in nuclear cryogenics. After narrowly escaping conversion while on placement in the cyber tombs, Jones moved to Clom, taking a position on the governing board for making sure new nuclear power stations on the planet were not shoddy ones being installed by Raxicoricofalipatorians for nefarious purposes.

Shortly after her move to the planet of Clom, Daleks Jones got a job hosting at the local radio station, Clom FM. With a strong finger on the pulse of both popular music and the more underground indie scene, her Dalekstravaganza show on Thursday evenings rapidly became one of the most listened to anywhere on Clom.

Since October 2023, Daleks Jones has been notable for travelling in what has been dubbed "the worst car in the music industry", after making the questionable decision to purchase a new vehicle under the effects of PCP, she ended up leaving the showroom with what TCoS lead singer Deborah J described as "A really horrendous mistake of a car", a bright green 1995 Suzuki X-90, dubbed "The Long Pea", Jones has admitted that she didn't quite realise how ugly the vehicle was while purchasing it, hallucinating something closer to Deborah's jaunty yellow Ford Capri, she also explained that she was convinced the car was "the size of a piece of paper, and the engine screamed."

## TCoS Connection

Daleks Jones' affiliation with TCoS began when she encountered Deborah J at a seminar held by The Society for People Who Like to Make Noises With Their Mouths. Daleks and Deborah, a radio host on the rise and an aspiring pop star respectively at the time, both hoped to further their careers from attending the event. The two quickly became friends, something which proved mutually beneficial as Deborah ended up the frontwoman of “Britain's Biggest Band” and Daleks' show became one of the most prestigious two hours of broadcast in the world of music. TCoS would frequently make guest appearances on the radio show, for interviews and to give an advance preview of new music, with the show being the first place anywhere to play such hits as Typo Central, (Time) Crash, and Merlin Was Wrong, and even the popular album track Skaro Calling.

The band, on the whole, prefer the more positive spin that Daleks puts on both their work and behind the scenes activities, in contrast to the more scathing view that newspapers such as The Daily Vortex take. In exchange for this exclusive access to TCoS material, Daleks often plays some of the band's tracks that are less in demand, with What's New Cybermat hitting the charts soley from being played on loop 80 times during an extended Dalekstravaganza show. To date, the only TCoS related music Jones has refused to play was Deborah J's solo single Fancy Pizza; Deborah had bribed her friend with chips to play the song “Rosemary Fries”, but since Deborah did not also bring pizza, Fancy Pizza remained unplayed, a decision she later admitted to regretting, after eventually purchasing a copy of the song.

Daleks Jones is one of only three known owners of an original pressing of TCoS' demo album Binro. She was arguably the only major figure in the world of TCoS to be absent from the cover of Sgt Skaro's Lonely Tracks Club Cult, as she was in bed unwell on the day of the photoshoot, having recently been possessed by the foot of Eldrad.
