The spider in This Sporting Life is more realistic and scary than anything in Doctor Who ever.

I'm afraid to say yes, but yes.

The This Sporting Life Spider is one of the most unsettling things ever committed to screen.

It's a kind of pre-Alien Xenomorph manifesting completely unexpectedly at the feverish cl*max of a monochrome Rugby League-themed '60s overwrought kitchen sink melodrama set in Sheffield.

I mean, who even knew spiders could survive in a climate so testing.


And with such steep hills.
