an addiction


i was forced by my library to collect and watch the city of death in the same day since they did the most fabulous job of retrieving it from another location for me. i just could not let them down, honest. this episode was written by douglas adams, yes the douglas adams of hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy fame, under a pseudonym. adams actually script edited all of season 18 of doctor who. i had seen this before, a lifetime ago and it was a trip through paris which was fun.


either david bowie got his dress sense from skagra the baddie in this episode or vice versa. very glam rock, but i guess it was the era for it. this episode wasn't televised at the time, nor completed. pieces of it were used in three doctors (i think) and it's been cobbled together here with tom baker narrating the missing sequences.
