What a weird episode.

It was like Doctor Who made by people who'd been told about the show but had never actually seen it.

I have just watched Part Two.

It was all conducted at an almost laughably leisurely pace and then a gunfight broke out and then it went back to being leisurely.

And it's also a blatant rip-off of Quatermass.

Which one?

The one with Wembley Stadium? Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 27, 2021 8:38 pm

The one with the astronaut who comes back to Earth and turns into a bubbling mass of gloopy horror.

Pit?

Oh, no, the before that one.

I'm about to watch Part 3. dontpanic

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:52 pm

That was the best episode, so far.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:52 pm

Of the serial.

Not in the show's entire history.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Mar 01, 2021 4:29 pm

I have now watched Part 6.

I'm sure they could have done it as a 4-parter.

I watched The Ribos Operation while sitting on the legs spinning machine, it's a bit daft isn't it?

Almost like it's a kids show or something.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Mar 01, 2021 5:03 pm

Leg spinning machine? scared

by Guest Mon Mar 01, 2021 5:22 pm

Is that the one that goes on for about 5 hours and breaks the law of conservation of mass?

oh no

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Mar 01, 2021 6:20 pm

I don't remember him breaking it but then I don't know what that is.

This is the one where he's trapped alone in a castle that's constantly re-setting itself.

by Guest Mon Mar 01, 2021 7:27 pm

I only watched 3 Capbadi episodes, the train one with Frank Skinner, this one and his last one.

Apparently the first 2 were his best ones. Craddock

The last one was offensively bad. yes
