Oh Dodo! I wish you would make up your mind what your accent is!

I don't think this story is quite the disaster that a lot of people seem to think.

The splitting it into two halves is a great idea.

The appearance of the Monoids is a cheeky idea, poorly executed. But I still like them as a species.

The Security Kitchen is so charmingly low budget that you cannot help but smile.

Am glad that this one avoided the BBC magnet and still exists for us to watch.

Oh Dodo! I wish you would make up your mind what your accent is!

I seem to recall hearing that she was planned to have a cockney accent, and began filming that way, before the idea was nixed by the higher-ups at the BBC, who were horrified at the idea of anything so low class appearing on educational TV.
