[Thread] The Andor Season 2 (April 22) fest
I had made a huge production thread about Andor on Twitter, several hundred posts over several years.
Because the people who make Andor (and showrunner Tony Gulroy in particular) often have interesting things to say. So I'm picking up the thread here. 🤟

Belated Happy Publication Day to @johnhiggs.bsky.social - if you’ve not read his books on Blake, Beatles, Bond, KLF et al, you have a thrilling reading list ahead. No surprise he’s turned his attention to DW. As one of our best cultural commentators, expect insights you won’t get anywhere else.

That's a good point. We have a Holmesian villain and a Holmesian double-act, but no Holmesian wit (outside of the philosophical discussion between the Doctor and the guard).

accurate assessment of this story i reckon. An attempt to make a story by copying Robert Holmes bits and assuming that will magically make "story", but of course it just becomes "events"

Specifically, there’s a bit in episode 2 where the Doctor gets into a philosophical discussion with a guard, and I gave @paulscoones.bsky.social some of the background on the what and the who being discussed!

#Dragonfire is a weird story, in that it has all the pieces of a narrative, as well as interesting characters, but it fails to coalesce into tale. It more… congeals on screen #DoctorWho

Being deeply uncool in the 90s (90s Whovian here - not kidding, DEEPLY) couldn't even kill off Doctor Who entirely, I promise you, certain sections of the audience who are inexplicably still watching (even though "I can't stand it"), can survive The Doctor being played by a fabulous queer black man.

Manchester Mill deserves enormous credit for pursuing this story, not least because of the legal threats from Lord. The Arts Council wants more than £400,000 back - money we'll likely never see again.
