Lux

15.2.2 Lux

I had this pegged as a Pantheon episode right away.

A Scottish actor recorded in New York as the voice of a Hollywood cartoon playing in Miami which is actually Wales.

Belinda continuing to be reasonably annoyed but running with it partially because she has to and partially because she’s a good person.

A light touch for the issues of the time.

A quick sketch of fans rather than a full portrait like Love And Monsters, but still showing them love. And a lovely little grace note - look at the credits.

(Does this mean the Doctor and Belinda just made our universe real? Er...)

Next week, Planet Of The Vampires?

The Robot Revolution

And here we go.

15.2.1: The Robot Revolution

Funny stompy robots are a bit less funny when they kill a cat and then a bunch of sympathetic characters.

Wondering if the bitten guy was gong to be plot, or might be later, or just a passing emergency-rooms-are-horrible reference.

Who gave the Doctor Belinda’s name?

People who saw Superman III at an impressionable age just flinched up and down the country, and I don’t believe for a second that wasn’t intentional.

Proper horrible looking cyborg for Saturday teatime.
