‘“He doesn’t like scientists.” This is a sentiment one only gets in Doctor Who. Real people do not have views on scientists’

Also, bizarrely, Fay’s makeup/look at the tail end, plus the weird tonal shift brought to mind a more sci-fi take on Ken Russell’s Lair Of The White Worm.

Funnily enough I watched this yesterday - we had a folk horror/hauntology themed Doctor Who marathon at home. It went

The Daemons

The Awakening

The Image Of Fendahl

Hide

The Stones of Blood

Anyway, we liked this one (that lack of recap in episode two is jarring though!). And The Doctor is horrible to poor K9. But of them all I came to the thinking that Fendahl, for it’s faults is the best shot story of the classic era. It’s stunning in places.
