Great video - where did you buy the top solar powered light from ??

Excellent question! I think I ultimately found it in either a Homebase or a B&M, after scouring the Earth for an affordable one. I may be mistaken about that, but it's worth looking around places like that if you're in the market for one. Sadly, I had to build a new roof for my TARDIS after "Storm Chiara" and the lantern broke as I installed it-and I have still not found a suitable replacement...

At this point in the series, I'm really tired of the term genocide being misused whenever the showrunner wants to remind the audience about the time war. It's one family of aliens. Sure, they might be the last of their kind, but genocide is the extermination of a people _because_ of their race, religion, or other circumstances of their birth. Fish mommy and her kin are mass murdering Venetians, and the Doctor should have no qualms with treating them accordingly.

I remember losing my mind at all the fanservice back when I saw it for the first time. But in the years since, it definitely hasn't aged well. I think fandoms in general have become a lot less tolerant of fanservice over substance, and there's not a lot of substance here. There were a lot of mysterious allusions to the Shadow Proclamation before this episode, but how it was portrayed really destroyed the mythos for me. And the sheer amount of hamhanded references and returning characters kept the plot from moving forward. 2.2/5

I can't believe you guys didn't call attention to the massive plot hole. The Doctor sets the atmosphere on fire, which is all well and good. But how is that supposed to stop the cars producing the gas?

My hottest take about Classic Who is that Terry Nation isn't a good writer. Yes he came up with the Daleks and that was a stroke of brilliance, but after their original serial, they feel very directionless and their actions don't make much sense. I don't find Terry Nation's worldbuilding to be very compelling at all. It's old-school sci-fi in all the worst ways.

I have a theory that Vicki is such a nonentity in her first few serials because they were actually written for Susan. Carol Ann Ford left rather abruptly, and it feels like Vicki's character is a few tweaks around the edges away from Susan. She follows the Doctor around everywhere, and she's so useless. Take away her sociopathic nonchalance, and she'd be Susan 2.0

Hey there, fellow TARDIS Builder! Yep, same here. In 2020, “Storm Ciara” opened her up like a pez dispenser, so I’ve since built a replacement roof and amended the signs. Somehow I managed to break the lantern in the process. I mostly found that I hadn’t waterproofed the original roof properly. Otherwise she’s still going strong. What kind of repair work did yours need?

Hey there, you'll be pleased to hear we caught up a couple of weeks ago and have now reviewed all of TV Doctor Who there is, including series 6! It only took us 10 years... 🙂 You can find all of it on iTunes, Spotify, etc. And on whobackwhen.com, of course. We're in the process of winding down the show now, and are looking into adding all our episodes somewhere else as well, possibly here on KZbin in fact, so they're available for free forever.

This was made because they had a two week gap before they were ready to film Marco Polo and they had gone over budget on The Daleks so they had to cut back that’s why everything takes place in the Tardis.

Why is it that arseholes like you two always believe that you’re funny and worth listening to? One of life’s mysteries, that. The fact that you had to use click bait to get an audience should’ve told you that it’s time to give up and go home.
@whobackwhen3 жыл бұрын
Oh, dear. It sounds like you’re going through a difficult time, oddhominem, calling strangers names and berating content that you either fairly chose not to partake in and therefore perhaps ought not comment on, or that you chose to consume in full, begging the obvious question. In case you’re compensating for trouble in the home, please know that things can get better. As you called this “clickbait”, we recognise that you may have assumed that this was in fact the film itself, in which case the word “review” in the title must not have been enough of a clue. We’ll reassess our signposting. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! In any case, we hope you feel better. Don’t worry; there’s someone out there for you.
