"Agatha Christie... IN OUTER SPAAAAAAAACE!" is a trope that Doctor Who does well, I think. Unsurprisingly, one of my favorite 4th Doctor stories is The Robots of Death. That story does it better, of course, but I still like how it all comes off here, particularly the hints at unseen adventures in which the Doctor has met a few of these characters before.Bill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18013121134005443309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-7779955303258569592013-09-11T21:43:26.303-03:002013-09-11T21:43:26.303-03:00Thank you for being a friend...Thank you for being a friend...Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-53376550545116787632013-09-11T21:36:28.954-03:002013-09-11T21:36:28.954-03:00I think the pic up top there is actually from the ...I think the pic up top there is actually from the Golden Girls.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438253684711321317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-72643938482683322692013-09-11T13:25:51.928-03:002013-09-11T13:25:51.928-03:00Affection may be a big word.

Or at least, with a token throw away timey-wimey excuse.<br /><br />Speaking of Frobisher, I listened to The Holy Terror the other day, and it's both brilliant and uncomfortably dark. Some of the best Who episodes ever are in the audio range. Are you likely to do reviews of them as well?Madeleynoreply@blogger.com
