Hot #DouglasAdams take of the afternoon: mildly tragically misunderstood as a #comedy writer working in an #sf mode when he was really an sf writer working in a comedic mode. Close reading of #ThePiratePlanet and #CityofDeath make this crystal clear.
#DoctorWho #ThePiratePlanet just isn't very good. It's weird, I remember quite enjoying it when I first saw it on #UKGold in 1994. Though I suppose that could just be misty eyed nostalgia. 📺

After that, finished watching #ThePiratePlanet. This is #DoctorWho of the popular memory: cheap and shoddy, almost off-putting to watch, but with ideas and a sense of humour that are so beguiling if you can look past the actual production.
#FeastOfWho has reached 1st episodes by #DouglasAdams #ThePiratePlanet.
"You mean whole planets have died to make us rich?" says lame, rebellious teenage malcontent.
Definitely a distinctive voice, dialogue the actors can properly play with. Good one liners.
A cybernetic pirate captain with one eye covered with what might be a screen, with a robot parrot on his shoulder, as a curly haired man leans over his shoulder. The man is Mr. Fibuli, and this is a screenshot from the Doctor Who serial "The Pirate Planet".
