UNIT are back and facing a deadly new threat - The Shreek!
This is a bit of the usual media package fluff that talks more about how lovely everybody else was on set, avoiding any substantial plot reveals. But we do get insights into the background of Ruby’s boyfriend, and the dynamics at UNIT. And of course the name of this week’s monster, “the Shreek”.
For the writer and director’s part, there seem to be some deliberate callbacks to classic Who stories “The five Doctors” and “The dæmons”, so that’s promising!
This being the rote standard interview form, everybody is asked where they’d go in the TARDIS given the chance. Speaking of classic episodes, I rather like writer Pete McTighe’s response:
I would park myself on a comfy sofa in cold November 1963, and spend the next six years watching (and recording, to share with you guys) all the missing episodes of Doctor Who!
Yes please! Just beam “Marco Polo” into my living room already 🙂
There’s also a non-spoilery image gallery from the episode at Media Mole. Just a couple of samples here:
That lapel trimming’s gotta be a deep wardrobe cut to the fifth Doctor’s coat, right?
Oh shit, there’s a Yellowjacket on the set. Hide all sharp objects and crack out the drug tests!
