"Death, always death..."
Yay, it's cartoon time! I've always loved cartoons.
Yes, of course I'm sorry that the original episodes are missing, but these animated episodes are rather fun and, I suspect, somewhat moodier in appearance than the television versions. Interesting too to see a very different style of animation to 'The Ice Warriors' and again to the sublime 'The Invasion'.
This image on the interweb confused me for a minute...
Until, of course, I remembered the telesnaps from the episode. I've just watched the first five minutes of a telesnap reconstruction and it's very dull and clunky compared to the animation. Still, it's good to see what Keith Anderson, the actor playing a rather haunted Robespierre, actually looked like.
More cartoons next week...
Next episode: A Bargain of Necessity
