"It also drove Programme Controller for ABC, Brian Tesler, bonkers as he hated science fiction."

It drives me crazy too when Emma insists there are "areas of vegetation" on the moon!

She's supposed to be a scientist FFS.

Agreed! And see the pain on her face when she delivers the line! Why wasn't it cut?

April updates, I'm taking advantage of the ANZAC day holiday to post an update.

Two’s a Crowd is revised in the new format, with quotations and footnotes added along with extra trivia and production information. An enjoyable comedic episode with the regulation over the top performance from Warren Mitchell and a great ensemble cast. It looks like Patrick Macnee wanted to get into Maria Machado's ensemble, he can't keep his eyes off her!

Silent Dust is a quirky cautionary tale of environmental destruction and personal greed which also takes a dig at the evil of blood sports along the way. It's now revised in the new format, with quotations and footnotes added along with extra trivia and production information.

I never realised the Two's A Crowd script-writing was so turbulent. It does have an odd tone, as if caught between two different styles of plotting and presentation. Not as wacky as a series 5 story, or as flamboyant; but not as intense as the normal series 4 style. People usually blame Warren Mitchell or Brodny as a "sub par" character, too broad, etc, but I don't think it's his fault!

I have a new-found love for many of these episodes I'm revising, there's so many layers to them.
