Warriors of the Deep

He has two

season openers, Ark of Infinity and Warriors of the Deep.

Hmm.

Well,

And I think that's where it falls down.

And when we get to Warriors of the Deep...

I was going to say, given the design of the Sea Devils in Warriors of the Deep, that's very interesting, and with Japan's historical attitude to outsiders at that point.

That's very

nice.

that's where the nuance disappears, isn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

And because of that, to segue into Warriors of the Deep, we can come back if anybody's got more points on the Sea Devils, but that's the problem with Warriors of the Deep, isn't it? Malcolm Hulk's told two stories about two separate factions, about two separate, I don't know, hibernation facilities that have woken up.

Uh, Season 21, again, it ...

Two in a row for the opening story immediately disqualifying it from being a season with no bad episodes, Warriors of the Deep.

Um-

Yes

... it's only because people are reappraising what was originally there.

Yeah.

But Warriors of the Deep Redux I think has a very, very good chance of being- The one re-edit of a Doctor Who story that has actually improved it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Uh, um, also the 2nd of April, uh, the death of Johnny Byrne, who, at age of 72, he is obviously the writer of The Keeper of Traken, Ark of Infinity, and Warriors of the Deep from classic Doctor Who.

Um, and also on the 5th of April, which is the day this episode aired, we lost Charlton Heston.

Do you know who Charlton Heston is? Please say yes.
