    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 4 "News from D Street"

    An excellent episode this week. As a general rule, don't let the powerful and dangerous boss know you are quitting, and have information he wants, before saying he will only get it over your dead body. Just disappear one day, or at least if you have to tell him do it from a long distance. I...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE TELLING BONE - Episode 07

    So no time travel yet but Catweazle can teleport himself, without any control on his destination, but it is another possible avenue for future adventures. Carrot does seem a little lost without his new friend. I do wonder what it might be like if Catweazle ever gets back home. Other than Sam we...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 3 "Alien Jane"

    I was quite a fan of Blossom when I was younger. I think there is something about the fast talking kid who always has the answer that appeals at a certain age. Once you get pass that age you stop rooting for Bueller and start sympathising with Rooney. Once the setup for the episode became clear...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE MAGIC FACE - Episode 06

    So we hit our first 2 parter, maybe. I was hoping the show might do this as the limited run time would prevent them from doing stories with a bit more depth. In terms of the show as a whole. I didn't know what to expect going in, the concept sounded interesting and of course the name. I did have...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE EYE OF TIME - Episode 05

    I've said a few times that the length of these episodes really helps. It makes them feel breezy and fun without overstaying their welcome. This is the first week where it felt like the episode ended a bit too soon. Maybe that was it. The plot built up around the betting, with first Sam and...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 2 "Our Lady of the Machine"

    A tight little mystery this week and an excellent lead character. I really liked Angel's approach to the situation, he was methodical and didn't jump to conclusions to lightly. His arc in terms of his beliefs was well handled. In the end it really didn't whether it was just a hologram or...

    Review Welcome to Paradox (1998) - episode 1 "The Girl Who Was Plugged In"

    Realised at the very end of the episode that this show is called Welcome to Paradox not Welcome to the Paradox, strange how I added a definite article. A really strong concept to start off the series. Creating connections between the human mind and a remote avatar be it organic or synthetic...

    Information Welcome to Paradox (1998)

    Is it possible to post the DVD order as the order on TVDb does differ as it shows the aired order.. It doesn't make any difference really as you say it's an anthology series and we get told each week what is the next episode, I was just curious. This is the order on TVDb: 1 - Our Lady of the...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE WITCHING HOUR - Episode 04

    I must admit I miss Mad-Pac's intro with the cast and character list, it is very useful to check who's who.

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: THE WITCHING HOUR - Episode 04

    I remember last week watching the intro and thinking are Catweazle's eyes really as blue as the cartoon and they are, quite striking once you notice. Carrot is wearing Converse Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops, those shoes have been around forever and always look good, total lack of grip though. It's nice...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: CURSE OF RAPKYN - Episode 03

    Right gonna have to be a brief one this week as I'm falling behind again. Not a bad episode. I did wonder how much the show would embrace magic and the fantastical. Often shows have one magical or unbelievable element and then the rest of the show is fairly grounded. A show similar in basic...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: "CASTLE SABURAC" - Episode 02

    Nice to see this episode picks up the next day. I did wonder how cold it would get in the little hen house but it looks like nice weather. Some odd scenes in this episode like Carrot bathing a naked Catweazle. It's nice of him to do that but from the look of the bath afterwards I think he is...

    Review The Omega Factor

    I was wondering if any of you have given the Big Finish Omega Factor stuff a go. I just finished the audiobook "Spider's Web" which was excellent. It is read by Louise Jameson and tells the story of an investigation Tom and Anne undertook. It gets really creepy at time. The first audiobook...

    Review DISCUSSION- CATWEAZLE: "THE SUN IN A BOTTLE" - Episode 01

    Ok some interesting posts so far. I had never heard of Catweazle until it started appearing as a nomination so I don't have any nostalgic link to this show. Most of the shows I remember most fondly from my childhood are cartoons like He-Man, Thundercats and I tried watching He-Man a few years...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: SEEK, LOCATE, DESTROY - Episode 06

    It seems the Liberator wardrobe room comes with coloured jackets for all the crew. Blake grey, Vila red, Avon blue, Gan brown and Cally green. I wonder if Jenna gets yellow or pink? I like the infiltration mission that begins the episode. It's nice to see the team planning and executing a...

    Review BLAKE'S 7: THE WEB - Episode 05

    Yikes it's been nearly a month. Well I've managed to square away Star Cops so I think 1 or 2 Blakes a day should get me right up to date, as the saying goes. Opening scenes were very creepy, looked like a few Rovers from The Prisoner hanging around and then a creepy head in a jar, good start...

    Review STAR COPS: LITTLE GREEN MEN AND OTHER MARTIANS - Episode 09

    So Star Cops is definitively the greatest show ever made, very interesting. :emoji_grin:
