Robots Of Death

[fangrrl_squees]

honorarydoctor and I have been talking about re-creating the Voc robots from Robots of Death. With that in mind, I found a bargain-priced copy of the DVD at Fry's and I'm watching it at the moment.

Holy cow! Forget the robots, I want to re-create the miners' gear!

I've not seen the story in at least 20 years, so I'm not surprised that I'd forgotten about the sheer fabulousness of the design. Even the little things, like the makeup on the humans mimicking the painted pattern on the robots' faces (or vice versa). Utterly awesome.

The story's great, of course. I'm going to re-read Corpse Marker tomorrow. Re-listening to the Kaldor City audios is, of course, inevitable.

I was really quite taken by it - more so than I expected, even though I was already pre-disposed to liking it, regardless.

Today, I'm going to try to convince my husband to watch it with me. He's not nearly as keen on Who as I am, but I think he'd really like "Robots of Death"

And, okay, I want to watch it again. :)

I can't wait to see what the restoration team does with it, although I hear that I have at least a year to wait, alas!
