Not forgetting the Fireball storylines of this period mostly written by Fennell

Not here

I get the feeling Alan has been called away and now the ship is starting to steady itself again..

The new Agent 21 story further circumstantial evidence Alan now has more time on his hands..
November 9, 2025 at 11:55 PM
It’s a weak period for TV21 also ..

Long plotted Stingray aside

Which makes me think Alan was tied up with rewrites on Thunderbirds, his S2 script .. and other stuff

His assistant thrown in deep end.

Next week sees TV21 regain some swagger as approaches second year relaunch and debut of Lady P

Ah.. got you 👍🏼

Personally don’t believe reads like an Alan Fennell penned story either .. which also ties into idea was this storyline first intended to be used elsewhere..

I still say this is the episode where Thunderbirds got it wrong

Brilliantly so, mind

If too young to understand the plot

The peril is identifiable and real

I’ll sort some files next week and post a link
November 9, 2025 at 9:33 PM
I can put slightly sharper, hi res, in a file share

The uploads to Bsky lose a little

A fun gimmick for the library or on a card booklet in bedrooms

The locations all real after all .. 🤷‍♀️

If I didn’t know better I’d swear Hannah was being mischievous in her pairings with that one

It’s been cut to pieces for DVD..

Apologies for not cropping 🤦‍♀️
November 9, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Only just cottoned on 🤦‍♀️

RTD riffed this for The Sound of Drums..

So far as “comedy” goes it’s the school of sledgehammer

Hannah must watch - I’m dying to see her reaction ..

Oh.. Colin Baker

🤐

This is an edit of the uncut version .. very mean girls

Who was DT drawn against?

Pleased for Pat as the series everyone can recognise - starts with him
November 9, 2025 at 6:33 PM
I still expected that to be slightly more offset by the older fans “respecting” the original

Looks like that vote is going to Pat for creating “everything that came after”

The Michael French “one and done” series Crime Traveller

Thank Newman for that

He scrubbed out “the future” from the draft

Competition 🤦‍♀️
November 9, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Ah.. but since Peter the only one to introduce himself on screen as Dr Who*..

He wins a completion of one

*Pat Troughton did too - but in German, so doesn’t count
