Mm, still, the core concept of Davros trying to use humans as stock for a new bunch of Daleks more loyal to him is a viable one.

This episode is awesome! Yes, it's flawed... really flawed, but still this episode is realy entertaining. By the way, we have seen a lot of DW spin-off shows over the years, so WHY COULDN'T ORCINI GET HIS OWN SHOW???

Hilarious review, but I was distracted by something: The DJ's fake American accent made him sound just like the robot from Sewer Shark.
I need some alcohol.

Ok I think I have now seen what a Dalek would look like on crack cocaine. Can't wait to see your next review Nash. Voyage of the Damned to me is not a bad episode but your view may change that fact.

Honestly I feel bad for Colin Baker. He got royally screwed over by everybody.

It's mostly a combination of bad costume design and TERRIBLE script writing, neither of which were really Collins fault. It's too bad he was canned so quickly. It's the BBCs fault for not realizing it was the direction the show was going, not Collins performance, that was driving viewers away in droves.

What IS Perry's accent?
(no annoying isn't an answer, true but not a region)
Is it a Brit playing American or an American that's been over there so long that its gotten indistinguishably soupy.

It's the first one. Peri's actress Nicola Bryant is British and she's trying to play an American. Not doing a good job here as you can tell.
On the bright side, her accent got a lot less shaky in the Big Finish audio dramas.

Awesome review, as always, Nash. I also think this is really interesting story.
I wondering which episode will you watching next time)

I love Orsino. I was in a Doctor Who RPG as one of his former students
-
02.27.2012 - 06:04 | TimekeeperI understand about Phantasm and Elvis, but what William Shakespeare has to do with all of this?

What do you knpw. Nash reviewing actually decent classic Doctor Who episode.
-
Yexp, gonna be that guy. Sorry Nash, but the weapon that Orcini was using for his gun is called a Skorpion. It's a Czech made SMG that's been around since the 1960's. Considering the release date and clip, my guess is the model in this series was either. Vz. 61 or the civilian CZ-91.
So...I wonder...are you going to review the only Doctor Who series where the Doctor has a scene butt-ass naked? Or cross-dressing? I DARE YOU!

Oh hey, you beat me to the pedantry.
-
02.29.2012 - 19:48 | Gift of the MagiAh but I left you the opening for your own IF you can find the two episodes I hinted at. Hint 2: They involve the same actor/Doctor.
-
02.27.2012 - 06:15 | raven111Yay, the plushie Dalek makes its first appearance!
-
02.27.2012 - 06:22 | bentleymlDalek death by Rock and Roll! However, Batman would not approve. ;)

Awesome retroreview as usual Nash!
Making Daleks out of dead humans...isn't that what the Emperor Dalek alluded to in Parting of the Ways? Or did they only start with live ones?
-
02.27.2012 - 07:30 | menny in the libraryLove the story and was pleased with Nash's fair take on this. There are problems but there's also thought behind its themes, and it's one of the best-directed stories in Classic Who.
That DJ is like a split personality TGWTG reviewer in some of his scenes.
Voyage of the Damned was the first New Who I really hated, so looking forward to the kicking that one's going to get.
-
02.27.2012 - 07:59 | Gift of the MagiReally? So you liked Love and Monsters?
-
02.27.2012 - 08:17 | Zachary Amaranth
Hey, a Mission of Burma reference!
-
So he was going to say Blackpool, but I live in Blackpool. Could have been interesting too as we had the main Doctor Who Exhibition here for years.

EPIC +1000 for almost human by voltaire, also +1000 from the wife for the same reason
-
02.27.2012 - 09:07 | ThaluikhainArgh, beaten to the Skorpion.
I would say that harvesting the bodies for food sorta makes sense if you are already harvesting them for dalek bits and are just using the left overs. Or maybe the flower growers have a better union than the grave robbers.
Oh, Voyage of the Damned next? Was that cause it has the guy who plays the murderer undertaker in the silly wig as the guy who plays the tour guide?
-

To Nash, I cannot wait for Voyage of the Damned. Also, do you have any other Big Finish Audio Dramas to recommend?
-
02.27.2012 - 09:27 | menny in the library@Magi - I'm one of those who thinks Love & Monsters uses an unreliable narrator. So yes, I like it.
-
02.27.2012 - 18:51 | Gift of the MagiMy personal opinion/hatred aside, to each their own.
-
02.27.2012 - 10:29 | EWilson
Davros couldn't open a stuck jar of pickles without finding some way to involve a hideous genetic monstrosity offensive to God and Man. Oh, silly Davros. Never change.

*Squeeing* OMG A DALEK PLUSHY!
It is soo so so cute!
Geeze, the way Nash describes the DJ's role in talking to the zombies in suspended animation you almost feel sorry for the frozen undead.

02.27.2012 - 10:59 | The_Awesometeer
oh dr who
-
02.27.2012 - 11:13 | VoiceThe acting and the weird sound in this episode ruined it for me, but otherwise Nash is spot on, good review and OH FUCK ME VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED YOU CANNOT BE FUCKING HARSH ENOUGH SERIOUSLY KILL IT WITH KNIVES.
-
02.27.2012 - 11:21 | bethhigdon
Hmmm..... I wonder if the "Blackpool" episode is included in Big Finish's Lost Stories series
-
02.27.2012 - 11:41 | Cassave
Alexei Sayle??

02.27.2012 - 12:48 | ManWithGoodTaste
Whoever made these episode was trolling the fanbase.

Nash, I bow down to your great Dalek imitation.

also some sort of homeless powered Rickshaw would be a way to beat the rising gas price. You could get them to go by dangling food, and alcohol in front of them.
Yes I'm terrible.
