I Dreamed a Dream

Oh good lord, this series. I took Monday off because I was buried in work. I took yesterday off because it was my birthday, and my present to myself was to not watch K9. Today I was back at it. You want to take any guesses at what I thought of today's two stories?

Dream-Eaters

(TARDIS Data Core recap)

Something has come through the spacetime portal.

Curse of Anubis

(TARDIS Data Core recap)

K9 might be evil (but he's not).

Seriously, the lack of originality in this show is just breathtaking.

Good point. Perhaps, after I finish Blake's 7 and Sapphire & Steele, I should start a grand re-watch and dig back into the b&w era.

Regards the first year weight loss, could the science be that early Doctor Who was more conducive to weight loss than when it went color??? Could color TV be the problem?
