Crikey, Si. What would that guy who used to slag it off in DWB think?!

I think he'd be very disappointed, though it's still not as great as Delta and the Bannermen, obviously. In context, after watching Planet of Wretched Evil, it's so good. It's fun, there's a shine to the dialogue and Tom and Lis are great, as is Paddy Russell's direction.
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

That'll teach you to watch the wrong story!
I'm watching The Claws Of Axos, on and off. That'll teach me to watch the wrong story!

I've been watching The Caves of Androzani. Yes, I know.

About Delta.. do you think that, if it was a new series story, with modern child labour laws they'd actually be able to use a real baby under heavy green makeup, as they did in 1987?

These days they'd have to ask a passing alien family, ask to borrow their child, cheer the fact they'd saved on the make-up budget and hope that on the aliens' home planet their child labour and Equity laws weren't as strict. You know what Equity's like!

The Sontaran Stratagem. Ha! Nice to have Wilf back - though the mother is quite annoying. I'm glad they had Donna & Martha's reaction to each other quite warm, not catty like Rose's reaction to her successors.

Mmm, I thought it was a shame they only did a few episodes together, they were getting on so well.

I love how in Frontier in Space, Pertwee leaves the political prisoners on the Moon to rot! Hulke corrected that in the novelisation...

So earlier in the week The Celestial Toymaker proved to be a something of a disaster with Ken losing interest during the first episode so I skipped eps 2 & 3 and just watched The Final Test.
Last night saw us watch The Empty Child/ The Doctor Dances which, whatever one thinks about what Moffat has subsequently written, stands up well as one of best stories of 21st Century Who.

Yes, Toymaker is a bit hard going isn't it!!

Unfortunately, I should've realised from the reaction to last week's classic offering that attempting to watch The Gunfighters with a fan of Westerns who's been to the real OK Corral was never going to end well. To be fair there is some atrocious acting in it and the least said about Lynda Baron's singing the better.
At least we're still enjoying our rewatch of the 2005 series so Boom Town got a much better reception last night.Last edited by Richard Brinck-Johnsen; 21st Feb 2017 at 9:44 PM.

The Poison Sky. Bernard Cribbins really does steal every scene doesn't he? Damn shame The Brig was in Peru ☹️

there's a possible sequel to both Castrovalva and The Twin Dilemma - the Master kidnaps Romulus and Remus to start a new Castrovalva...

Are you sure that's wise? The twins are now thirty years older, forty times wetter and are working for Trump. Need I say more?
But then the Master was always up for mad plans...

The Invisible Enemy. Bad on almost every level. I found very little to enjoy in this story and was half asleep during part four.
Bob Baker and Dave Martin really tried to kill the production team yet again. Maybe they could have managed the trip inside the Doctor's head if they hadn't had to cope with two space bases with radically different designs, loads of model work, a robot dog, gun fights and more besides. They do very well with the model work and K-9 of course, but there are some horrendous misfires. I'm mainly thinking of the Nucleus of The Swarm. Why does it look completely different when it grows to giant size? I'm grateful really because the bin bag thing in the Doctor's head is simply appalling. The gun / laser battles are painfully unconvincing too, they really suck the drama out of the proceedings.
Ah well, they can't all be winners.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Going through the original script for Claws Of Axos, well you all know how much Barry and Terrance had to alter for that! - "Enough for an entire series here!"

Cor that was a good run!
We just got through The Android Invasion Pt 4 which was better than I remembered this time. They could really have expanded on the Androids on Earth I thought - lots of fun with fake Doctors and Sarahs.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank.

TENTH DOCTOR: You forgot? Four hundred years, is that all it takes?
ELEVENTH DOCTOR: I moved on.
TENTH DOCTOR: Where? Where can you be now that you can forget something like that?
It's where he would have been if he had NOT been able to forget that should have worried the tenth Doctor.
