This opens well. Tegan clashing with Turlough is nicely written and performed and that skull design is very scary. Also, we get a cool little robot. Actually, is it cool? Or terrible? I’m honestly not sure. But space pirates sound cool so let’s meet them! Oh. They are shit. Olvir in particular is woeful but at least Kari has good chemistry with the Doc. To be fair Davison has good chemistry with practically everyone – a perfect leading man.
The 4 actors playing the Vanir all bring something different to their roles but it’s such a shame their costumes are so noisy – you can hear those dudes rattling away from a miles away. Not sure what to say about the massive dog bear thing!
