The Author's Blog

My Doctor Who obsession - as you would expect - involves watching the old episodes (pre 2005) as well as the new. Inevitably, this also involves investing in DVD's of the "Classic" series (as it's now called) to watch them.

One of such investments is a box set called "Mannequin Mania" and that comprises of two Jon Pertwee (Third Doctor) episodes: "Spearhead From Space" and "Terror of the Autons" - both stories concerned with an alien entity called the Nestenes. [Incidentally, the Nestenes and Autons were the very first story of "New" Who in 2005.]

The protaganist's servants are called Autons - mannequins made of plastic - that are controlled by the Nestene conciousness. [Hence the title of the boxset!]

This story - when originally aired - led to my second only fright from Doctor Who...

Not blogged in a while. Three months almost - which is about the same time period between the last ones. How odd.

So - a new tag (TV - Film) mainly because I've just watched a film! This, not being a remarkable thing, as I watch many films, but this one was a bit of a different experience.

The film in question is the title of the blog - "Lesbian Vampire Killers". It's a UK-made film about...er...lesbian vampire killers! Killers of lesbian vampires, that is and not killers that are lesbian vampires. Well, it could be. Anyway.

I bought the film (on Blu-Ray, incidentally) for two reasons. 1) Amazon (Gawd luvvem) recommended it to me, 2) it was on offer and 3) It has a Doctor Who link.

Alright, that's three reasons, but a Doctor Who link? Eh?
