I've seen one or two more than that.

er yeh right
And you're argument that; I know more because I read more books that would bore a mortal into a coma.
Is the same argument every religious fundamentalist has ever used.
It's what Mitt Romney would say if he liked the Twilight books.
Any way I just found out Walker Texas Ranger has AIDS, can he wheel kick the Grim Reaper?
Iplayer says that the robots were voiced by "Noel Byrne" and "Richard Garaghty"
Surely this is a mistake?
I'd love to see the Zygons come back. Unfortunately, they'd probably be wearing shades these days...

I've never seen that episode. I've only seen the episode where the Doctor and Leela are trapped in a Victorian lighthouse watching everyone around them die.
We should let Zygons be Zygons.

Leela, Teela, whatever, the stupid bint wasn't even in her leather bikini for that one, so I couldn't even have a quick choke of my Ood when watching it.

All bow down to the BCG Classic Who expert. Now there's a boast that's made me wet.

Quote: Godot Taxis @ September 10 2012, 6:30 PM BSTDinosaurs on a Spaceship is more-or-less a rehash of a classic who story and none of you has even noticed.
I thought you said you didn't watch it?

Well I said that prop and production design was something I knew about. I know this is the internet where eleven year olds tell professors to f**k off but I do have a design background and my own design business.
'Yeh right' answers don't tell anyone why the design is not good. Whether you think it or not John Friedlander is highly respected and his work for Doctor Who was exceptional.

You were wet already. And you sort of made my point by calling Leela Teela.

I meant it in the sense of 'All Irishmen are drunks' - which means MOST Irishmen are drunks rather than 100% of Irishmen are drunks. Please feel free to exclude yourself.
The point is that I was arguing with Sooty that so called 'classic' Who was worse than Star Trek or Quatermass or whatever and no-one noticed that Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is essentially 'Carnival of Monsters' one of the very best known 'classic' stories.
SPOILERS
In Carnival the Doctor and Jo land on a ship in the Indian ocean, meet a 1920s couple and are then anachronistically attacked by a Plesiosaurus. One of the characters on the ship alludes to a hunting past and even says 'what a beast, wouldn't mind having a head like that on the club house wall'.
The Doctor and Jo find a metal panel on the wooden part of the ship that also breaks the illusion of where they are, much like the one that Rory and his Dad discover under the beach. Subsequently they discover they are in a machine called the miniscope and are chased through it by Drashigs - dinosaur like creatures.
Of course there are other, original plot elements in Dinosaurs but essentially it would seem to have been suggested (presumably unconsciously) by watching this story. ironically it held together quite well and would have made a much better opener than the Dalek debacle, last week.
Carnival of Monsters is an excellent yarn. I've only watched it once for some reason, so must dig it out again. In the Target novelisation there's a Zygon which nicely ties Godot's points together.
