Dicky Howett and Tim Quinn were two individuals whose usual occupation was to work a huge bellows in the deep recesses of the Doctor's TARDIS so as to produce the "Vworp! Vworp!" sound whenever it took off or landed.
An Alien Extermination Kit was, at some point, developed and sold on Earth] by Howett and Quinn for "only £150 plus VAT". To promote it, Quinn and Howett published a "quiz" to allow children to divine whether their Dad was an evil alien in disguise. (GAME: Is Your Dad An Evil Alien?
