The Curse of Peladon parts 1 - 4
Last Classic Who Story you watched
- Thread starter Pindar
- Start date
Though it didn't start that way and is mentioned in the Fang Rock commentary. Things were pretty rocky between them at the start until she blew her top at him during production and everything changed for the better.
The robots of death, and still amazing how they were able to make a guy in a mask so sinister with some simple chroma key effects and a calm voice.
It mystifies me that that serial is such a fave. Its basically alright, but several other serials of his are better, including his own very first one.
Guess Pertwee must have been on holiday for that week.
I just watched The Daemons a few days ago. It's first Pertwee I remember seeing (in 1985) and I've always liked it. It's got a nice mix of UNIT family stuff with early '70s folk horror atmosphere. It's cozy and fun.
The Sea Devils parts one and two.
The Sea Devils parts three and four
It's difficult to understand what the point of the JN-T book is, as the life it illuminates really doesn't bear having this kind of light shone upon it. The abiding sadness of the book is seeing the promise of youth shrivel into adulthood. JN-T seems to have been an effective and respected AFM and production assistant, and you almost want the story to end there.
And at the other end of the book, Christopher Guard talks about how great it was that JN-T was one of those characters who lived life for moment and how amazing this was, which feels wholly inappropriate when talking a man who died desperately young of liver failure. And we learn that one of the songs played at JN-T's funeral - one whose sentiment he apparently embraced - was 'It's Not How You Start, It's How You Finish'.
No. No, really, it isn't.

Huh? That's exactly the context in which people usually do say things like that. It's an attempt to offer comfort that someone made the most of the short time they had, that the quality of their life mattered more than the quantity. It's not necessarily convincing, depending on the listener, but I don't see how it's inappropriate.
I may or may not get to Sea Devils parts 5 and 6 tonight.
A day late, but I got there eventually.
In a way it's almost funny, the master goes through all that, then it takes the doctor 15 seconds to change his mind, it still gives me a chuckle. Lol

Decided to precede Series 13 with Season 13 on Saturday nights, so last night we had Terror Of The Zygons.
