Episode 147 - The Haunting Of Thomas Brewster / Perfect World
It's Halloween so that means it's time for our now-annual spooky episode! That means we're covering The Haunting Of Thomas Brewster, which introduces Mr Brewster, and Perfect World, which sends him on his way. How does Brewster work as a character and short-term companion for the Doctor? Do the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa work in a Dickensian setting? And does Perfect World give a satisfying send-off to Brewster's brief tenure aboard the TARDIS? Plus there's our recommendations this week, one covering a very short animated show and one covering a very long live-action show. And there's a somewhat rambling conversation around the changing modes of television production and what it means for TV shows these days.
