Added 2022-04-30 14:01:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I recorded this video this morning. Since IĀ“m not 100% yet my voice is a little different today. But IĀ“m back to beeing healthy again and will be in a few weeks.
I had to wait three weeks for this video, so IĀ“m really happy to be able to finally go back to Doctor Who again. :) Enjoy :)

The idea of playing 42 minutes of screen action in "real-time" is interesting as a story concept. I don't have a problem with the story having a sentient star/plasma being, or that it takes over people in order to burn the crew in revenge. But I find the idea that a series of door locks with Pub Quiz questions to be silly. It doesn't make sense to me even for the flimsy security reason. They mention that the crew has changed since the questions were set - so current crew members are bound to get something wrong. And they have to get all the questions right first time. And then one of the questions is a number sequence that none of the crew have ever heard of. It's lucky the Doctor was there. There's a scene in Galaxy Quest where Gwen (Sigourney Weaver) says "What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway". I am oddly reminded of this. BTW the Happy Prime sequence is number 35497 in the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. That mathematical web-page has a note which refers to this Doctor Who episode.
