The Pier 1 Imports ad at the very end of every Sylvester McCoy Dr Who episode is a wierd idea, though.
I really loved how they managed to make the "death bubble" interact with the environment. Not hard to do these days, but in 1988 on a Doctor Who budget? Nice. I always got the idea that it wasn't the budget that went up, as the effects got cheaper to produce.
I was never the hugest fan of Sylvester's outfit, but once they gave him the dark brown coat, it was perfect. Wish he'd had it on Day 1.
He keeps the show's script in his pocket. 🙂
Poor poor Kate O'Mara.
Apparently she specifically asked Bonnie Langford to go through the scenes as Mel, then mimicked her performance. She's got the chops, though, to go from really evil to bubbly happy literally seconds apart.
The season's writing is still rather wonky, given (1) how last minute it all came together and (2) how short the season was. Sylvester really plays up the clown aspect of the Doctor, which leads to a weak season. But occasionally the more powerfuly Doctor we would see in Season 25 (And sinister in 26) shows through here and there.
Told you "Terror of the Vervoids" was the last time you'd see Mel in anything remotely normal.
Season 24 has got some serious sophistication in it, production wise. The alien makeups are pretty solid and the wardrobe becomes fairly complex. The effects compositing is way nicer than just "bluescreen it in" (including some nice interactive model work), and the music has moved away from computerized sounding FM Synthesis to nice samples (which started last season). They're still filming in quarries, though.
