Have you ever done something, realised how stupid or embarrassing it was and then looked about to see if anyone watching? Did you get away with it?

I was pretty much a goody-two shoes child but one time I lived life on the edge once by combining my love of Doctor Who with my love of explosives. A schoolfriend had come back from France with loads of those small red bangers and donated me a set.
Just detonating them on their own seemed a bit of a missed opportunity so I looked around for something I could explode. My tiny plastic model Daleks and Cybermen (the Citadel ones) seemed ideal so I snuck out into the garden, stuffed a banger into a Dalek and lit the fuse. It exploded into a very satisfying number of pieces and so I went through the rest of the pack of bangers, alternating between blowing up Daleks and Cybermen.
The last one to go was a Cyberman so I tucked the banger between its legs and watched intently as I set the fuse off, only to witness the top half of its body fly straight at my right eye. Fortunately (in just this one particular instance) I was a speccy twat so it just bounced off, leaving a gash right in the middle of the lens, thus sparing me the world's lamest "How did you lose your eye?" story. Other than the shattered corpses of the former resident of Mondas and Skaro, there were no witnesses and this is the first time I've told the tale. So unless my mother is a B3tan, I think I've gotten away with it.

Telos, not Skaro, is the home planet of the Cybermen. Your word play is factually flawed.

Actually, Mondas was the home planet of the Cybermen (Earth's long lost twin), they just conquered and hibernated on Telos.
Worst. Pedantry. Ever.

... You naughty boy. You are SO grounded.
And no Doctor Who for a month!
