I'd forgotten how annoying the music in The Sea Devils is. #WHOonHorror
'Snakedance' is best thought of as a dull version of Ken Russell's 'Lair of the White Worm', with Martin Clunes in it. #WHOonHorror
Rogin's a f*cking hero. Sacrifices his life to save the Doctor, whilst invoking the Space Technicians' Union. #WhoOnHorror #TUC
It's also good to be reminded that the 4th Doctor could sometimes be *very* callous. #WhoOnHorror
I know it's just green bubble-wrap, but 'Ark in Space' still one of the most visually repellent stories ever - in a good way. #WhoOnHorror
From 'Planet of the Spiders' straight into 'Ark in Space'.
Aww. Everyone hates 'Robot'. #WhoOnHorror
Oh dear. Planet of the Spiders is actually quite good, but MUST it have a magic savant and a white guy playing Chinese? #WHOonHorror
The 'Daleks' (John Scott Martin, Cy Town & Murphy Grunbar) have better names than the characters #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
There's a final episode baddie who is basically a big silver hoover attachment on a string. #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
There's a 'valuable substance' Macguffin that cures loads of diseases. It's called 'perineum'. #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
The 'primitive alien race' have a PA system with really heavy bass #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
The Daleks' lasers don't work, so they replace them with cap guns #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
There's a scene where a Dalek explodes because some aliens hit it with sticks #ReasonsDeathtotheDalekssucks #WhoOnHorror
'Your leader will be angry if you kill me, I'm... I'm a genius.'
Classic Troughton. #SeedsofDeath #whoonhorror
Heehee, #SeedsofDeath introduces the fabulous concept of 'space madness'
#whoonhorror
Fair to say a lot of the character decisions in #SeedsofDeath are insane. Even in 1969 it could be all about spectacle. #whoonhorror
It's easy to laugh at the Ice Warriors, but they killed A LOT of people proprotionate to their screentime. #SeedsofDeath #WhoOnHorror
'Those letters [CCCP], they stand for Russia.'
#SeedsofDeath is not a 'politics' episode. Or a 'geography' one. #WhoOnHorror
Imagine a world totally dependant on one particular technology. Ridiculous, eh? *HE WRITES USING THE INTERNET* #seedsofdeath #WhoOnHorror
Right, #WhoOnHorror fans, Troughton Ice Warrior epic #SeedsofDeath starts tonight. WHO'S EXCITED?!
Keep that up, it's VERY long.
'I'm much too old to be a pioneer - although I was once, among my own people.'
Intriguing... #TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
'That's sheer murder!'
'NO - EXTERMINATION'
So it begins.

'There is no indignity is being afraid to die, but there is a terrible shame in being afraid to live': Alydon.
#TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
'ALL DALEKS IN SECTION 3 ARE INCAPABLE OF WORKING!'
Master-race HR department is ironic and also ironically bad. #TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
#TheDaleks message is basically 'pacifism doesn't work'.
I don't think they'd push that line today. #WhoOnHorror
'Tell me Alydon - how old is this "young girl"?'
Operation Yewtree reaches Skaro. :-/
#TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
Dalek holding a dinner tray. Never not hilarious. #TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
That's probably the most pseud-y thing you'll read about #WhoOnHorror today.
Good = handsome. Ugly = evil. #TheDaleks understands this fallacy, yet also perpetuates it. Peculiar. #WhoOnHorror
'Do you think there's someone inside them?'
Daleks amusingly sassed by programme that invented them. #TheDaleks #WhoOnHorror
