Time for Boris to go a-defunding.

Its episode 8, and it's the Mary Shelley one

"The Doctor and her gang arrive at the Villa Diodati at Lake Geneva in 1816 on the night that inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

The plan is to spend the evening soaking up the atmos in the presence of some literary greats, but the ghosts are all too real, and the Doctor is forced into a decision of earth-shattering proportions."

Tbh does it really matter who writes the stories as long as their decent.

I rewatched The Ambassadors Of Death as I hadn't Pertweed in a while. Thrilling stuff as unsavoury types do dastardly deeds a gogo. Great sparing use of the erstwhile "villains" as well.
Rewatch!

Mind Of Evil next methinks!!

That's where the problem lies, as most of them are crap.

Why bother with good writers such as Joe Hill when you can have hard leftists who are far preferable in the BBC's eyes.

Not unlike say, Malcolm Hulke cough.
Indeed, considering the Marxist propaganda that masqueraded as DW during my childhood, it's a wonder I didn't grow up trying to destablise the government by fair means or foul

C'mon D.

I'm sure you must admit there are subtle differences from how Hulke worked his messages into stories to the lecturing we get nowadays.
