Poor Six; his stories were not the best. (I like Vengeance on Varos, Mark of the Rani is probably the most traditional, and Revelation is probably the best, although it's yet another dark Eric Saward script.) The audios are lovely, though - and he met the Brigadier in Spectre of Lanyon Moor. (Which I think I sent to you; I don't know if you had any luck with them? If you wished to try again, I could re-upload that one for you?)

Also, John Nathan-Turner had his faults (costuming, primarily, :lol:, although I like Six's coat. Why the hell should the Doctor's outfit be normal or tasteful?) but there was an amazing amount of rubbish happening behind the scenes with DW in the 1980s, and he did some great stuff when he was working with a script editor he got on with. (Not that I mean you should mutter against Eric Saward, unless you wish. Although, maybe you should a bit. *cough* It sounds more like one of those things all round, really.) But the thing is, he's dead now, earlier than he should have been, and he gave up his career to keep Doctor Who alive, and never got to see it come back in triumph, which I'm sure he would have loved. If he'd walked away from DW in the mid 80s, there wouldn't have been a better producer, hurrah, there'd have been no more show, because nobody else was willing to do it. They tried to find someone else, and they couldn't. A number of the powers that be wanted it dead from well before Colin Baker even started. (Sorry. Just, you know. Mutter kindly, okay? Enough people have heaped more than enough hate on his head.) It's hard to believe anyone managed to make Trial of a Time Lord under the circumstances they were working in. (Sorry. I am so sick of 1980s Who-bashing.)

No, no, no, the Master (any of them) has an Evil Plot that makes No Sense is always okay. Originality is OOC for him. :lol:

I found, watching S&S, that the basic idea of the stories was something I'm always sort of writing - and with S&S you don't even need to explain it too hard. ♥ And all my aliens are always psychic, and the first time I make up a OC, she's a displaced Victorian housemaid. What can I say? I'm just dying to get my hands on it properly, writing-wise, although I'm still trying to get my head around Elements, which makes it even more fascinating. Plus, I have all this time and nothing better to do, heh.
