A couple of weeks ago,a live-action recreation of Mission to the Unknown (approved by the BBC) was officially released on YouTube. Because it didn't feature any of the TARDIS crew (it was a one-off 25 minute story,designed to allow the regular cast to have a week's holiday) the recreation was able to use modern actors - but everything about it is intended to look exactly the same as the original. Would you consider doing an 'extra' reaction to it? How are you feeling as you rapidly approach the end of Hartnell's era?

If you're still willing to answer the questions of mine you held over from last month, I think you tackled most of it in your video on the missing stories. But I'd still be interested to know what you made of the last bit, about the idea of Vicki staying on for a few episodes and it being her in that air lock instead of Katarina...

Fear the Walking Dead: First of all, I just wanna preface by saying that I didn't hate 5B like most of the fanbase seems to haha. 1) In my opinion it seemed like, from the denim factory to the planes to the cowboys etc, that the overall story could seem a bit disjointed in the long run and that there wasn't much clear direction. Do you think that the show spreads itself too thin between its vast characters, locations, and ideas? Or do you think the show does well in showing its themes and giving a clear story? Orrr maybe a bit of both? Basically, looking back on it now that it's ended, what do you think about this season's story as a whole? 2) What do you think about the way the show handles its big cast, with its containted episodes and 5B's character-of-the-week type structure? Like I love most of the characters, including a lot of the newer ones too, and I definitely love the talented cast as well -- but I wonder do you think the show might be losing some overall group chemistry, or lacking in developing some specific characters/relationships? Or would you say it all worked pretty well this season? 3) What did you think about the reveal that Grace is pregnant? And what do you think about her budding relationship with Morgan, and the idea of Morgan having a new love interest after Jenny in general? 4) Thoughts on how they left us on that cliffhanger of Morgan getting injured? Where do you think they're planning on taking the story from that happening. And what are your thoughts on the theories of it either leading into Morgan maybe being found by the helicopter crew and possibly being tied into in the Rick films, or the theory that Sherry might find and help him? Or do you think they would/could really just kill the character off in the premiere of S6? I find Morgan to be a really integral part of the TWD universe because we started the journey with him, so I feel like we'd lose something special if he died, but you never know I guess 5) Is there anything in particular you would you like to see from the sixth season? And do you think the show should wrap up and end with season 6 being the final season, or should the show just keep on going the same way the main show is? The Walking Dead: 1) How do you feel about the way Carol and Ezekiel are handling things currently, both with the grieving of Henry and also the way they are with each other at the moment? 2) Any strong feelings on all the Daryl and Connie stuff going on? Do you think Daryl should have a romantic interest at all in the show? I know Norman has said that he's read Daryl as asexual before 3) Do you have any further thoughts on the bond between Alpha and Beta after seeing a bit more of their backstory in episode 2? And what do you think about Gamma, and Alpha's new favoritism of her? 4) How do you feel about the way Negan is being treated this season - seems like (obviously prior to the accidental murder and subsequent escape) that the Alexandrians were getting more comfortable with him being out and about town 5) What do you think about the Alpha vs Carol face-off going on, do you think they're setting up for something big going down between those two? And would you want to see that happen? 6) What do you think about the relationship developing between Negan and Lydia? Vikings 1) Any thoughts on Hvitserk apparently getting a bit of a backbone against Ivar finally? I really like the character so it's good to see he might be standing out a bit more 2) Oh, Magnus. So obviously he's not actually Ragnar's son, but I wonder if he intentionally lying and is trying to play Bjorn/anyone because he has an agenda, OR I wonder if he's genuinely convinced himself that he is Ragnar's son since I assume he had to tell a lot of people that after he left Wessex, like Aethelwulf told him to. 3) What do you make of Heahmund's death, and what do you think of his character overall? What did you make of his relationship with Lagertha, and her reaction (of leaving) after having witnessed his death? 4) What kind of a mother IS Judith? What do you make of her whole decision to murder her son? Do you think her murder of her own son is a bit of Ecbert having rubbed off too much on her, or do you reckon Ecbert would frown on her actions if he were still alive. It's a shame since he was technically the last known of Ecbert's/Aethelwulf's lineage -- and do you think it was necessary too, that there was reason to be concerned about him betraying Alfred, or do you think Aethelred would've been a good big brother and that Judith just overreacted? 5) What should Floki even do now? Like his whole plan to have a nice little settlement seems to have really blown up in his face. Do you think he should leave Iceland, or stay and try and rehabilitate the rest of the unruly settlers, or maybe even just stay by himself, like he was at the beginning of the season. 6) What do you make of the blossoming romance between Bjorn and Gunnhild. Personally, I haven't thought Bjorn has truly loved, or at least cared deeply, for someone since Porunn left him. After that, he seemed to lose interest in Siggy, and then from what we saw he never seemed like he would win any father or husband of the year awards when he was with Torvi. But he does seem to have a chemistry with Gunnhild, I feel like you agree? Though what do you think it is that's different about her than any of his past relationships/flings? Torchwood: 1) What do you think about the state of Gwen and Rhys' relationship? Do you think him learning about her real job has helped or hurt their relationship? 2) What did you make of all the characters' backstories The Boys: 1) What do you make of this interpretation of the superhero concept, where it's more of a celebrity game that's all based on approval ratings and % points. Do you think these heroes care at all about protecting the public or is it more of a status game for the most part? 2) Hey what's up with Black Noir lmao

So, only 22 questions from me.. 1) I'm finding The Boys hugely enjoyable and great fun, but also very political in way that surprised me. Some of that says more about current politics than the show, but this seems to be a somewhat more evident in recent years on American TV - are you seeing this too? And do you think this has much to do with the rise of streaming TV services that aren't as closely bound to advertisers or more with a generic shift and a reaction to current events?

Doctor Who: I need to ask, THAT song, is it out of your head yet, have you recovered, or are you having nightmarish flashbacks? Do you think it was a good idea that went wrong, or just a bad idea?
