Apparently we’re going to go cinema now and see Star Trek, Dad is treating us and paying for it all. Bless him.

Awesome. More Ian and Barbara is always welcome!!
This is easily one of our favourite moments as Antodus fails in his attempt to jump safely to the other side. What’s fascinating about it is the way its played as though the motivations of Antodus are unclear. We see him cut the rope to save Ian but throughout the serial Antodus has already given up the fight, so its interesting to look at whether he cut the rope to save the others or simply to end his own suffering, to let himself have the chance to give up and not face the Daleks on the other side.
Perhaps it was a bit of both but the way this scene is shot is rather beautiful and haunting, especially when he falls and Ganatus calls after his brother… and then Ian’s shaky hand pulls up the end of the empty rope and he stares at it in horror. This is a scene that’s always stuck with us, the tense build up, the music, the lighting, the way it makes you watch everyone jump in turn leaving Antodus until last and knowing that someone isn’t going to make it.
Wow, thank you destructo-bot, this is amazing! ‘The Rocket Men’ is a glorious audio and this really captures the feel of it *flails for a bit*. :)

Well Doctor Who Au ‘film noir’ stylie fic is already at 3000 words and we’re only just about to hit a major incident. Think this may be a pretty long story.
