Survival for me is a story which improves with multiple viewings. Not sure why it just does. Same with Ghostlight.

I hope you're not disappointed when you come to view it.

Went to see my fellow local DW nut. Since my last visit he has acquired nearly all of the Classic series (the 4 left en route etc). Lawdy. They do look bonny aw together . As he had 'watched all the Pertwee' ... I borrowed The Time Monster (I've had the novel for years ... never seen it though) and Terror Of The Autons.

PS The Pertwee book is the Bernard Bale one from 2000. So I still have to get his own tome ... Who Am I? isn't it???

Loving The Time Monster btw.

Yes ... Atlantis is somewhat cheaper looking than the one in my imagination ... so what?? The Beeb would rather spend money on pederasts at the time ... so there is that. These were shown once (repeated later on Gold etc but still ...) so modern nitpickers can get stuffed imo. Another sixer that doesn't really drag ... Benton's largest part ... Delgado SOLD.

Myths & Legends set next tis then!!
