I just caught your appearance on the Reactorverse podcast, where you talk about how much you appreciate when people discuss your personal comments rather than the shows themselves, which made me feel pretty guilty about how little I've been doing that so I'll be working to fix that from now on. All your reactions to "Michael Myers" (my mind went more toward a Mike Flanagan ghost, but that definitely works too) were a lot of fun, and the way we still have absolutely no idea what the hell his deal is halfway through the story certainly adds a lot to the creepiness. The difficulty getting a grasp on Tegan right away is quite understandable given that it takes such an unusually long time to see her actually meet the Doctor and get a sense of their dynamic, though you at least do have the advantage of knowing her from Power of the Doctor. Also very understandable is the surprise at seeing Nyssa again, since she actually wasn't intended to last past Keeper of Traken while it was being made. But the crew was impressed enough with the actress during production that they decided to keep her on, and I'm very glad as it would have felt wrong to last see her calling for her father. Speaking of, Anthony Ainley's laugh as the Master is especially beloved by old school fans, so it's very fitting that it's his only presence in this story for so long. You might recall that when the Master first returned in the new series, we got a montage of audio clips of the previous actors, and that laugh was considered iconic enough to be used as Ainley's contribution all on its own.

A Mike Flanagan ghost in Doctor Who would be quite lovely. Anthony Ainley did have a good evil laugh.

"I have a feeling I'm overlooking the obvious again.", The Doctor, "Logopolis" Another Master episode? So soon? Wonderful. It reminds me of those heady days of early Pertwee when the Master would just keep popping up. And the recursive TARDIS strongly recalls the issue Jo and the Doctor had in "The Time Monster". "Never guess. Unless you have to. There's enough uncertainty in the universe as it is.", The Doctor, "Logopolis" The production crew was unable to use the house that the director had intended to use for Aunt Vanessa's. However, they just moved up the street and used the home of Andrew McCulloch, who had recently co-written "Meglos". As you said, it's nice to get a mention of Romana and K9. When we looked into Romana's room we saw the school uniform outfit which she wore in Paris ("City of Death") - not that I'm obsessed with it. Nope. And then it's a bit sad when Doctor has to jettison the room. "Are you ready?", "If you are.", "What? Well, I'd feel more confident if you had just said 'yes'.", The Doctor and Adric, "Logopolis" There happened to be a real police box on the Barnet Bypass and they originally planned to use it in the story. Unfortunately, it was vandalised before the filming so an earlier TARDIS prop was refurbished and they used that instead. I was just commenting to another New Who reactor that the sound of the TARDIS cloister bell doesn't have the same impact to New Who viewers as to the Classic Who viewers who have seen these episodes. Whenever *I* hear those bells chiming in New Who, I know the TARDIS is "complaining" about something and it's something bad and we should start worrying. "I demand to see whoever's in charge of this ship!", Tegan, "Logopolis"
