One of my own favourites of the Baker era, especially those little dialogues between Tom and Lalla - although, on location in Burnham Beeches Reserve, Lalla said that Tom was annoyed and wouldn't look at her directly. Their dialogues themselves in studio were sweet. Emrys James is suitably chilling as Aukon and, although some effects with the bats are somewhat transparently dangling on wires, the atmosphere and the music and the story and acting more than make up for it. The original story, entitled The Witch lords - later The Vampire Mutations - was pulled a few seasons earlier because there wasn't wanted a clash with the BBC production of Dracula and was replaced with the classic Horror of Fang Rock.

Thank you for another great reaction! I wondered how long it was going to take you to suspect the Lords of being Vampires - and the answer came back as 'Quicker than I did!' - I completely missed the no windows in the Tower line! I agree with your point about K-9 being safer in The Tardis but then question just how safe the Tardis is given on the rare occasions we've had stories taking place entirely inside the Tardis and fuc*ery still manages to occur! Really glad you're enjoying this one. See you next time!

Just as a thought, perhaps Lalla is reluctant to face the vampires not merely because they are nasty, horrific bloodthirsty things, but because she is having flashbacks to her first starring role in the film Vampire Circus - Hammer Films - released in 1972.

I love Hammer Horror, I want to try & get the whole collection. I saw Vampire Circus relatively late into my foray into Hammer & recognised Lalla instantly! I think there's a certain link between Hammer Horror & Classic Who in that some of the writers / actors wrote /acted in for both.

Oh, I wouldn’t doubt that there’s definitely a certain link between/overlap of Classic Who and Hammer Horror. This greatly pleases me as I love the Hammer Horror films ever since I first discovered the films and started watching them seventeen years ago, a year after I started diving into the Universal Horror films. Great stuff. In terms of the Hammer Horror films, Horror of Dracula’s my favorite, though there is a massive soft spot for The Devil Rides Out. And it’s not a horror film, but I also love Hammer’s Cash on Demand.

Well, Patrick Troughton was in a few Hammer Horrors. Scars Of Dracula for one. Perhaps we should gently persuade Jess to react to one or two? 🧛🦇

I love all the Dracula series with Christopher Lee - absolute classics! I got into Hammer Horror when I was around 13-14 in the early 80's after a friend showed me a book of Horror films, which covered many of them. I couldn't get enough of them once I'd seen a few! I've by no means seen them all. The Wikipedia page Hammer Filmography lists all the films they did. 50 of them are considered Horror (they also did a huge range of other types of films). I haven't seen To the Devil A Daughter (or any of the newer ones), but I definately want to check that out (sounds very Carrie/The Omen). Funnily enough they have classed that one as Horror, but I guess it may just lack that supernatural element. Loved Scars of Dracula - Patrick Troughton was hilarious in it & a real surprise to see him! Well, if Jess posts a suggestions page, I will definitely put some of them on the list!

I wonder how Jess will respond seeing her dear lovely Number Two in a horror film? Mind you, Patrick was in such a wide range of roles during his career. Comedies, adventure, historical dramas, thrillers, detective stories. As with his Doctor, you never knew what Patrick would get up to next, even a sketch in The Two Ronnies and a mad scientist in The Goodies.
