    Review Land Of The Giants (1968)

    Far and away the best Irwin Allen show IMO. Though like his others it deteriorated towards the end of its run. The first season was very good. No magic FX , but amazing sets, giant tables and telephones and doors and of course safety pins to get the illusion of the little people lost in this...

    Review Vincent Price

    Theatre of Blood is a favourite of mine. Follows the Phibes formula of grandiose revenge killings carried out by Price's character in various disguises.

    Review Magnum.P.I (1980)

    Oh dear! More potential misconceived reboots, can't they come up with something original?

    Review Kill the Moon (2014)

    This episode would struggle to pass as an episode of Lost In Space. It would be on par with The Great Vegetable Rebellion as the worst one. It certainly doesn't belong in a serious show Dr Smith " oh my god this planet is an egg ,Will Robinson we're doomed" Robot " Never fear Dr Smith just get a...

    News Mark E Smith R.I.P.

    Review Earth 2

    The skeletal beings were Terrians. Which does seem a Earth-centric name to give them. I think the colonists called them that but I'm not sure if they used it themselves as the Terrians didn't speak. By the way, there's discussions on a group watch of Blakes7 on the twin peaks thread...

    Review The Outer Limits (1963)

    I've just ordered the series on DVD, look forward to getting it soon. Don't know a lot about it. Any good episodes I should watch first? I stumbled on this in an unusual way. Heard of it of course but never tried it. However in my cd collection for twenty years has been the Cabaret Voltaire...

    Review CI5: The New Professionals (1998)

    Nor did many others. It was a Sky production and never made it onto terrestrial tv.

    Not about Dr Who , but in this episode of Only Connect, the quiz for the super intelligent , a team of Who fans, The Gallifreyans, do pretty well.

    Review Shada (1979)

    Of course yes, I can't think of a reason why they didn't do that. Did that with others, Power of the Daleks for example. Even so still excellently done. It's not easy to detach yourself from the joy of having the story restored and just critically examine the story itself. However it's an okay...

    Review Shada (1979)

    Watched Shada at Xmas.Very good, the soundtrack of the animation is perfectly integrated to the '79 material. I've got the answer to what did they do about voicing Chronotis in light of Denis Carey's passing. Very clever, what they did was;

    Review Blake's 7 (1978)

    Just gone onto the Twin Peaks thread, "By The Numbers", and suggested to the group who has just finished a group watch of that show ,that Blakes7 would be fun to do as a group. Anyone care to add their voice to mine and post something on their thread?
