    • Quotes
      [on the mix of darkness and humour in Docteur Who (1963)] I think it's my favourite kind of storytelling as far as Docteur Who (1963) is concerned. It's certainly what makes Docteur Who (1963) richer and more watchable than some of its historical rivals. Terror of the Autons: Episode One (1971) has killer gonks and a brilliantly nasty visual gag about a dead body inside a lunchbox. Alerte dans l'espace (1970) has people in collarless shirts and suits standing glumly in white rooms. I know which I'd rather watch with my kids.
