Zoe! W3! Servo robot! Dave and @sandmanjazz.bsky.social land on the abandoned Silver Carrier. What will they make of cyber eggs, pets in the future and what happened to Chang?

Haha done that, its weird how some days your mind just goes blank, even though you may have been using the same password for the last 4 weeks or whatever.

Politics, adventure, a McCoy love in, sinister robots, terrorism, love...this one has it all! @doctorwhoprophunt.bsky.social steps into the Ham Fam and discusses a much undervalued episode...

The recreation of this is fabulously faithful, albeit a bit too dark in places. The sets, the costumes and the props are spot on. And some of the performances have the essence of the original - Yorkshire Malpha needs to be heard to be believed though! 😂 a sterling effect from all involved.

It is the best Torchwood, definitely.

Possibly the longest Kettle episode ever! I brought a lot of notes to this one. 😄

A genuine favourite of mine. It’s so miserable! And it has one of my favourite soundtracks.

Absolutely! We have the audios, telesnaps, clips. We are v lucky considering!

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 4d

Ridiculous and shocking behaviour. Unfortunately, as you say, some 'fans' are just idiots

Congrats Jason on 100!! 🎉

Spellbinding. Briggs brings this landmark tale (considering what it discusses) to life beautifully. The old warrior in the rain, the exhibit, two titans of the wars talking about life and death. I was transfixed and the ending is very powerful. One of the best ever short trips. #MiniKettle

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 4d

Great film with 2 classy actresses

Dave Rennie @haemovoresrus.bsky.social · 5d

The Telly & the Target are great. Both underrated gems. The Vanir are fucking metal!

Nyssa is Heisenberg before Heisenberg. Complete with cooking in their underwear.

Davo is great in it, full of energy. Destroy the Doggies control unit is a great moment.

I want to be in a vent with Tegan.

Better than it's cracked up to be. The story isn't bad but it's hampered by production. The clattering vanir 'armour', the jazzy space pirates, "we're all going to diiiiiiiiie!!!", Nyssa removing her skirt for no reason, and the lack of anything for Tegan and Turlough to do. All mask a decent story.

It’s so much better than people say it is. Hampered by production issues and actors being mean about the director years later. There’s a nice atmosphere to it. Yeah, I like Terminus!

It's a good script but some of the production works against it. It should be loud and full of blustering big performances. Still what we get is interesting and has a lot to say. I like it a lot but I don't love it. Wish the music was better, that would help it!

Some good sci-fi ideas and Sarah Sutton gets a good finale. The space pirates aren't necessary and Liza Goddard is no Nerys Hughes! But the Vanir are well characterised and no-one dies. The music is awful, though. Much better than its reputation

Hugely underrated piece of sci-fi, second best of the season only let down by some odd design decisions and the skirt (which is explained in the novel).
