Not as cool as a bona fide Who connection, but fairly cool anyway ;)SAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654559289732417538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1148099909774325672006-05-19T21:38:00.000-07:002006-05-19T21:38:00.000-07:00To a nine-year-old, "Fury" looked terrific and rem...To a nine-year-old, "Fury" looked terrific and remains my favourite "Doctor Who" story, not least because it boasts no less than three exceptionally strong cliffhangers! The visual atmosphere is as vivid as the audio suggests and my one niggle, at the time, was the ease at which they were able to return to the TARDIS mid-story, when you consider where it was parked!<BR/><BR/>"Inferno", good as it is, covered similar territory, namely the depletion of the Earth's natural resources without regard to its replenishment, but weakened the concept with the parallel universe element.<BR/><BR/>Years later, I had the surprise of my life when I discovered "Fury" had been directed by my Dad's grammar school maths teacher. Hugh David (David Hughes as he was then) married the English teacher and she went on to guest in "The Ark in Space". It's a small universe!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1147883422105026052006-05-17T09:30:00.000-07:002006-05-17T09:30:00.000-07:00Lol, yes, I cheated and skipped I don't know how m...Lol, yes, I cheated and skipped I don't know how many EDAs. I like to think I just picked out the good ones, but it didn't always work out ;)<BR/><BR/>Silurians and Ambassadors were really such a close tie, so I wouldn't like to say whether one was actually better than the other. I just plumped for the one in the end, mainly out of an irrational fondness based on that first childhood Who memory. At the end of the day it won't matter a jot when I have all of Season Seven in my DVD collection anyway, so no biggie ;)<BR/><BR/>And that fondness for the best seventies female companions is set to stay, so we'd best just accept that and salute our shared good taste with a toast :)<BR/><BR/>Clink.SAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654559289732417538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1147881249364015962006-05-17T08:54:00.000-07:002006-05-17T08:54:00.000-07:00Oh, and write your Doctor Who novel in your own t...Oh, and write your Doctor Who novel in your own time and then put it on your website as a reward for the loyal fans who have always spoken very highly of 'Shell Shock' and 'Drift' (Still have about 80 EDAs before I..sorry, they reach 'Em Chem' :)Stuart Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232782649771676547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11095653.post-1147878711361038302006-05-17T08:11:00.000-07:002006-05-17T08:11:00.000-07:00Good choices all, with the possible sole exception...Good choices all, with the possible sole exception of Ambassadors which, I'm ashamed to say, I've never seen. But even allowing you to ignore the wonderful Inferno, is it better than Doctor Who and the Silurians? Actually I hope so since I'll be trawling the net to find a copy to download this evening :)<BR/><BR/>Two out of a top ten in common isn't bad going, really, given the huge amount of Who out there - and I had Heritage at 11 and swithered between 'Ark in Space' and 'Talons' for quite a while.<BR/><BR/>But you are a man of infinitely refined taste, as your fondness for the best seventies female companions amply demonstrates :)Stuart Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232782649771676547noreply@blogger.com
