Finally worked my way up to season 2 of RTD2. Whatever level of drunk is required to enjoy this I have never achieved. It remains season 24 level of bad.

Spearhead from Space - 9/10
Somehow never seen this one to the end before, which is strange, so much to recommend. Robert Holmes script, making something everyday truly terrifying. All on location and the only complete serial in HD for 40years. Not my favourite era but so well done.

Still, credit for making house cats the enemy of a serial.

Survival - 6/10
To hear Cartmel talk this was the pinnacle of the season. Like so many of the stories he loves it fails to construct a story that works on face value so I can’t credit the subtext. Still it’s better produced than others with good music. And so ends classic who.

Russia is attacking civilian targets in retaliation for Ukraine's attack on legitimate military targets which were fuelled and armed to attack civilians in Ukraine. Putin told Trump he was going to do it - and Trump didn't push back, didn't warn him not - he posted on truth social that Putin had to.

Curse of Fenric - 10/10
My favourite classic episode.
Time paradoxes, a companion story woven into events, and time travel based family revelations. This episode always served to show how much more the show could be. Better production values than 2005, amazing cast. Just wonderful

Ghost Light - 9/10
Kind of regret giving Battlefield an 8 as this is so much better on the production front and just the ideas driving it. Direction, music, it’s all perfect. Sadly battlefield (a little too long) stole an episode from this one, which is a little short but not over explaining suit it

I had allowed myself to get a little optimistic as there were rumours more episodes would be guest written. 5 off 8 are RTD again, one wrote Kerblam (I hate it less than most, but ain’t good) and the other two I’m not aware of. If the show is ending would have loved a Whithouse or Matthieson.

“me and my best mate, we dossed around together… then they burnt out Manisha's flat. White kids firebombed it.”
That line now would send the anti woke brigade nuts (never mind the black female Brigadier the episode before).
I miss the days when I wasn’t thinking “that line is angering some incel”

And why would I miss a chance to share that speech. Sure it was creaky - but on the budget they’d been reduced to by this time it was amazing.

Battlefield - 8/10
Blimey, tempting to make it a 9 for the speech which had no equal in Doctor Who until the Zygon inversion. Direction falters a little, Destroyer is amazing, plot holds together better than I remembered. Wouldn’t have been out of place in the Hinchcliffe era.

Greatest Show in the Galaxy - 7/10

Like most episodes in these two seasons the not so subtle subtext took centre stage, but it’s fun, great soundtrack, good casting and far better direction than the preceding two.

When your country is too Nazi for Russia - you’ve hit maximum Nazi. All the US can hope for now is an overflow error
Meanwhile in Russia: not everyone is excited about Moscow's potential alliance with America. Zakhar Prilepin described the Trump administration as modern day Nazis and urged the Kremlin not to humiliate Russia by forging an alliance with Trump's regime.

Silver Nemesis - 2/10
Time travelling through potion drinking. This really was the kitchen sink episode. Ace elevates everything but errr… can’t say anything nice about the script

The Happiness Patrol - 4/10
Still waiting for the black and white special edition which I think is the one thing that could elevate it. Verity Lambert called out this episode as devoid of merit, and for me it is. I give no points for subtext if the story doesn’t work on a basic level

Rememberance of the Daleks - 10/10
So weird to have a nearly perfect serial in the middle of the worst period. Especially with the updated visuals. Played up the Nazi angle and called out some of the UKs racist past, would be denounced as woke these days. World is mad.

Hand of Fear - 8/10
Similarly great look in the early episodes (Eldrad is what the Cryons should have looked like), fairly unsatisfying ending, but one of the best send offs for any companion

Masque of Mandragora - 8/10. Looks great, high quality cast, atmospheric. Weak sauce ending

Trump to ease sanctions on Russia as it attacks Europe, and to apply Tariffs on its allies.
Please, boycott all American products, do not put a penny into their economy - they've chosen to be the enemy of democratic nations, we must choose not to fund them.
March 4, 2025 at 4:08 AM
Damn America to hell. Damn every single American who isn’t protesting right now. In 6 months you’ll be in the same situation as the Russians where protesting or contradicting state propaganda results in jail time. You’ve all betrayed yourself and the real free world.

"We are bullish on the future of American innovation"

It speaks to the mindset of the people at the top of Apple if they're looking at what is happening in the US and going "this is fantastic, lets get behind this".
I'm finally making the switch to Samsung next upgrade, Apple products suck lately.

He knows Trump can’t read
WSJ has also been somewhat critical lately. Seems like Murdoch is only willing to criticize Trump in print, not on Fox.
