Episode Discussion: Lux

I should be the showrunner & also star in it. I would be the best Mr. Who ever, my catchphrase would be “chillax dude” & I would have a monocle & backwards baseball cap with 2 words written on it, ‘Pobodies Nerfect’.

It’s set in Sweden but filmed on location at a quarry in Swindon. The Stockholm skyline is built from cardboard and bubble wrap and inserted into the background via CSO!

With a Norwegian playing Tian!

Definitely. You’re appearing as the mysterious figure known as “Sweet Al” Belle, who everyone thinks is a power-hungry internet moderator until it’s revealed that it’s not “Sweet Al” but “Sweet Al” and you’re actually an AI construct who looks and sounds like Brian Blessed.

RTD, hire me, please!

I finally put up my Lux review!

Lux is a tour de force of ambition, style, and emotional depth. Its inspired blend of retro horror, animated fantasy, and metafictional reflection delivers one of the boldest and most inventive Doctor Who episodes in years. A few pacing stumbles aside, this is a dazzling showcase of what the series can achieve when it dares to colour outside the lines. Mr Ring-a-Ding is an instant classic, the visuals are groundbreaking, and the themes resonate long after the lights come up.

You’re welcome to read my full review below (spoiler alert!):

No no no. I am gonna convince the BBC to pay for some authentic location shooting, so I can get a free holiday just like JNT did with Arc of Infinity.

Well, there are worse places to spend a holiday in than Sweden. Just make sure you do it in the summer :joy:

My coworker who I talk Doccy Who with at lunch has really liked season 41 so far, and loved Lux! Even if they did like that fan scene… But I can forgive this slight.

If you can forgive them that, I suppose I can forgive you using the phrase ‘Doccy Who’… :wink:

I’m sorry you lost your sense of joy and whimsy!

That coworker sounds a lot like me. Maybe we share the same workplace without knowing about it!

And yet you are the one who dislike the scene with the fans? :thinking:
The math ain’t mathing… :wink:

I may be a slight hypocrite when it comes to Doccy Who…
