What the ever loving strawberry float

Aunty Pat is brutally murdered by having her throat ripped out ("on camera"), and is then replaced by her Zygon lover for the rest of time, not telling anyone including Lucie?

Not just that but it was "Lucie" that did it. I'd forgotten just how funny some of that story is. Some of the sound effects to

Simm is going to be in Missy's head isn't he? Trying to tempt her back to old ways...

Or they'll present it like that for the entire episode (likely in scenes just between Missy/Simm) but then the shock ending is he's really been there!

Up to end of season 3 TWA. They're not very subtly taking on Scientology are they?

Only just got to the Zygon one. Its not easy trying to invade the world one fridge at a time. All I really remember of the end of 3 was theMetebelis Spiders being involved. What did you think of Hothouse and Wirrn Dawn btw? They have two of my most wanted monsters I want to see come back in the tv series.

Thought on upcoming ep

Could be. That would make some sense. The flirting with him/herself would fit that. But the ep is set on a ship stuck next to a black hole. So he could come back from wherever he went after The End of Time via the black hole.

Reckon the Cybermen part is going to be that in the part of the ship where time is different the crew have to become Cybermen to survive. Perhaps the ship was originally from Mondas. So its going to be an additional origin story. Please Hexx. Take a break from the 8th Doctor stories now you are inbetween seasons 3 and 4 to give Spare Parts a listen.

I didn't recall either of the enemies from before.

Hothouse - was ok. Bit on the nose satire. They never really explained why the germination event would be immediately game over, but it didn't overly matter. A lot of "audio issues" with people exlpaining what they saw in each lab.

Wirrn - was ok. A nice story that the doctor can't (won't?) solve everything and save everyone. Bit obvious with "The Admiral is injured" and "The Wirrn lay eggs their prey. Just thought you might want to know" and they teased it a bit too long. One of the more interesting looks at 8 with the ending and him being ok with the "natural" ending, even with deaths. He didn't even try to save the Admiral, and didn't seem overly sad she'd died - this was just the way it needed to be.

Yeah those Spiders have turned up - still got about 15 minutes left, no idea how it's going to wrap up.

Already got season 4 loaded up and will need some in the car later and in pub waiting for board games - so no. Will likely be through them quickly though, and will do Spare Parts before Dark Eyes.

Or do you want it done before the weekend? What's in it for me?

Ridley Scott was working at the BBC when Ark In Space was made. A few years later he made Alien. GO FIGURE.

As for Spare Parts. Doesn't matter either way just its brilliant. Everyone really should hear it. I'd say its the Genesis of the Daleks for the Cybermen but you probably haven't seen that either.




I'm going to give it a relisten before Sat.

I'm sorry. Its hot and I just want people to see that Doctor Who is more then just the last 10 years or so on tv. One thing you need to track down as its not part of the series is this- https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/an-earthly-child-442 Listen before ep 7 "Relative Dimensions"

I thought they said light makes the creature stronger, only they used it to force the creature back in the gate.

The tools they used "poisoned" the light.

I loved that episode. Really fun! Next episode is going to be great.

Death in Blackpool was lovely little story - liking they're more willing to do smaller intimate stories. Only 2 people were ever in much danger here not "THE WORLD IS IN DANGER...

Which brings is to AEC. "Oh wait a nice play on the title...wait a minute...are they? ARE THEY!?!?!
