This time, it's not the TARDIS that dematerialises in the wrong place for a change, but a star cruiser that comes out of warp and crashes headlong into a scientific venture aboard the ominously named "Hecate". Their distress beacon is what brings our travellers to the rescue, and quickly they are embroiled in some intra-temporal shenanigans that release the "Mandrels" from another dimension onto the ship who begin eating the economy passengers! It's also a bit worrying that there is a drugs smuggling operation going on here too - and, of course, the "Doctor" (Tom Baker) and "Romana" (Lalla Ward) are initially suspects before, well you know the drill by now... I don't recall "K9" ever needing his laser quite so often before, but phew are they glad he is there as this mystery becomes quite (tea time) violent. This isn't really one of the best stories and the cast - especially "Prof. Tryst" (Lewis Flander) with his seriously ropey Eastern European accent and David Daker hamming it up as the captain don't really do much to help pad out what is a really quite thin plot. There are times when I'm sure Baker looks like he's laughing... Not the best, maybe the best of the worst?

  • Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective
    Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective
    2015-03-02
    Inhabit is a feature length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture, economics, governance, and on. The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and it translates the diversity of permaculture into something that can be understood by an equally diverse audience. For those familiar, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what's possible - what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.
