What about the rather dire Robot of Sherwood. Mel Brooks of would've had a field day with this episode. Robin Hood: Men in Tights eat your heart out!

I was waiting for the song and dance routine to kick in.

Oy! Leave it alone.

I switched the TV off after 20 mins. Then came the egg laying......

Once seen.

Never forgotten.

Even though I've tried to do the same as you. Block the episode out.

It's something of a stretch to even contemplate Dem. Peter Harness must of wondered at times how on earth he was going to write such a story without consuming plenty of alcohol and seriously thinking about this story killing off his writing career in TV. The word shocking doesn't even come close to describing this story. The only + point was the wonderful location work that doubled for the moon landscape. That was exceptionally well done.

True. I think every story has at least one plus point even if the whole ends up a horrible mess. I can't think of any plus points for Eaters of Light though.

Anyway i'm away now. Goodnight hivemind.

I knew to stay away from the story, after reading the advance reviews. All that from a returning Doctor Who writer.

Cheers Dem.

Just try not to dream about the egg thing. It's enough to make you want to put a brick through the TV. I came pretty close.

Nite!
