I watched Ghost Light again last night, and I had forgotten how good it is. From the comments on my Bluesky feed it seems plenty agree. I will watch your vid at the weekend, Mr Chimp😁

I was thinking that. But as the character evolves I take to him more. It’s a v tricky role to carry off, and he feel genuinely all powerful and immense at points.

The whole story is even better than I remember it. It’s absolutely mental and a piece of genius. So audacious and confident!

The cream of Scotland Yard! 🤣
Outrageous

Chilling horrible #DoctorWho

Pritchard family story is really horrible, always given me the creeps. Two great performances and nobody ever talks about them!

The Doctor says he could forgive Gwendoline if she hasn’t enjoyed it so much, and I’ve always thought it’s arrogant of the Doctor that he has the right of forgiveness

That’s a great way of putting it

he Crowned Sade Coburg. “If I see it, I shall shoot it”.

Every two minutes there’s something ingenious or hilarious, or a new character, or inanimate objects coming to life. It’s pretty outrageous, and everyone involved is giving 110%. After so long, nobody is saying “that’ll do”.

Ladylike!
Oh this is really great.

By sheer coincidence I started the audiobook of the Target novelisation today

People seem to be queuing up to say that tonight! It’s so long since I’ve seen it that I’ve forgotten how great it is. Each scene has a new moment of genius

They’re just Josiah’s toys.
A really horrible moment

Ian Hogg is brilliant as Josiah gets more unhinged

The music is a bit loud sometimes too. Ghost Light is difficult to see and difficult to hear! What with its abstruse subject matter, it’s not very user friendly, but it’s totally fab.

I won’t be grieving the AI industry. Its oncoming onslaught could mean the end of us all.

Top five of all time?
Def top five 80s for me. I can’t think why it’s so long since I last saw it.

“Warming, pulsing, racing blood! Ratkin!”

Haven’t seen this in years and I had forgotten how good it is. There’s no other #DoctorWho like it. Ideas, dialogue, casting, performances, design, A1. The ingenious lighting of anything makes it a bit too dark in places, which is pretty unique.
