"Your colleague is aiming the Hyperion III into the eye of the Black Hole of Tartarus!", The Doctor, "Terror of the Vervoids" This is a perfectly servicable Classic Who story. It reminds me of the style and design of some of the 70s stories - I always think back to "The Robots of Death". "Satiable curtiosity, like the Elephant's Child.", "Never mind the 'Just So' stories.", The Doctor and Mel, "Terror of the Vervoids" A Rudyard Kipling reference - and some kids would have got it! I like Mel too - but what a scream she has! "We must not make animal-kind aware of our existence. They still outnumber us. If we are to kill them all, we must hunt them down secretly.", Vervoid, "Terror of the Vervoids" We have to talk about the Vervoid design - but I won't. Er, ... maybe, perhaps if they had altered a color here or there and changed ... - no, no, I'm not talking about it. There's a story that one of the Doctor Who magazines put out an issue with a Vervoid on the cover - only to get a frantic call saying that the cover was unsuitable for a children's magazine. "See if Janet has got the tape. But Mel, be careful.", The Doctor, "Terror of the Vervoids" According to Jane Baker, they hadn't revealed who was the culprit to the production team with the first scripts - and learned later that there were bets about who it was - Janet, the stewardess, was a prime suspect, as she had the best access around the ship. But, lots of people actually are culpable - if it hadn't been for various people's individual particular bits of skulduggery (replace with sesskasays's favorite equivalent) much of this wouldn't have happened. "Article seven permits no exceptions. The Doctor has destroyed a complete species. The charge must now be genocide.", The Valeyard, "Terror of the Vervoids"
