Unf. Big Finish. Also, Nightmare of Eden.
Feb. 1st, 2013 05:16 pmSo, I haven't properly seen Nightmare of Eden for years and years (my vhs copy was damaged, so there were always lines across the video, but I would still watch it because I love it and probably shipped Della/Romana without realizing it. I was young then. DELLA IS HOT, OK.) But I watched it last night, and it is STILL AMAZING in its ridiculousness. (I love the IDEAS behind it, the concept of the two ships caught together, and Stott's stupid machine)
Also, Doctor Who says DON'T DO DRUGS, KIDDIES. Hah. Excellent.
However, however. Can we talk about Romana's hideous dress and schoolgirl tights? Because they were awful. Seriously. It's hard to make a flat-chested woman look even more flat, but they succeeded. (was this the sort of thing where she wasn't allowed to have breasts? Because Della did, even if they were covered up)
The mandrils, otoh, give me the urge to make costumes of them. Or at least the bottoms. They would be bell-bottomed pants of some sort, really. With scales.
(I had forgotten how much I love rubber monsters as opposed to CGI--I usually find the latter utterly rubbish in either case, but CGI mandrils would be hideous)
I've been listening to various Big Finish products (when is the Charley stuff arriving, BF, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeen. sigh), and have discerned that Pam Ferris and Raquel Cassidy need to do all the audio plays. Because they are entertaining (and good). Also, I might have a thing for Raquel's voice (and possibly this explains that Jo/Neve femslash I once wrote--she was hot in Red Cap, too)
( Onto Big Finish Doctor Who episodes )
