@wolfweed — I’ve always loved that picture of the Voord with the watches. (The true reason for the invasion of Marinus? To set up a budget jewellery concession?)

To be honest, I’ve found these episodes a bit of a slog, so I’ll probably just remain an interested observer for the Aztecs….

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

@bluesqueakpip, @craig,

In spite of the fact that life still seems to get in the way (but reflections on The Keys of Marinus will hopefully follow soon) I can guarantee you that the attack of the mace will have have pin-point accuracy and deadly consequences!

So… bring on The Aztecs!

Continuing with last week’s mysteries being solved by culprits blurting their own guilt, this continues with the gaff about Susan giving the game away.

Pyrrho gets a name drop – Nice!

Yartek: ‘I shall order my creatures to kill her!’

@BlueSqueakPip  Voord in a hoodie is faintly ridiculous. Why don’t we ever see a ‘nude’ Voord? They’re only…[Read more]

Although I thought Arbitan would emerge from under the mask in a “ah ha! My fiendish plan to get all my keys back!” didn’t materialise, I got all the clues in this one – and that never happens!

Ah well. I still think Barbara emerges as the most sensible person in these episodes (no Ian,…[Read more]

Yes, I hadn’t watched this before, either, apart from episode 2. I have no idea why I saw episode 2 but not the rest. I really enjoyed it – for a ‘filler’, emergency story it was a really good one.

The ending felt like Terry Nation had realised he couldn’t do his detective story in one episode, so had to take over half of part 6 -…[Read more]

@Thane 15 Very well stated. I agree with you and many years ago I would not have.  I still have some values that would be labeled conservative but as you said, lables are a problem. That is an understatement with politics and race topping that as a problem. We have been raised in a propaganda culture where pride in country is blind to the…[Read more]

Hi from Italy guys, i’m back for another round.
After the experience of Class(series that i loved) i finally started the season 10.
For the final year originally i want twelve alone without a companion, i think that he might add a original taste <u>and</u> change to the show and a challenge for Capaldi but…..i like this new companion, there is a…[Read more]

Mum and I (and also Dad) are pretty much leftists: although that’s how ‘right wingers’ would ‘label’ us.

Labels are annoying. Look how librarian went!

I kid! 🙂

I don’t like labels but I do know this: a flat tax is hopelessly regressive. One excellent thing about our country -and I know that some Americans talk about “god…[Read more]

I cheated this week. I watched half of this episode on Friday and finished it today so I am finally up to date. I really enjoyed the series. I was surprised to realise that I had not seen it before. I agree that the ending does seem rather rushed. The story arc proved less interesting than the components but that is so often the case. Returning…[Read more]
