In 2. Thought it was one of two stories, the correct one or The Eaters of Light for some reason. I chose the wrong one first.

Got it in five. I’ll fully admit I don’t remember these two stories very well…

Got it in three.

Summary

After the second image I knew which seasons it was. I then guessed twice within those and got it.

Two for me. This is one of those very rare stories that I just do not like. Trouble is, whilst there are elements I like, some good ideas just like we’d expect from Mathieson, other elements are just so bad that I can’t overlook them. In particular (and for a professional biodiversity researcher, this is egregious indeed) YOU DON’T GET ELECTRIC EELS IN EUROPE! And, no, European eels can’t produce electricity like that). i don’t mind Doctor Who being silly, but I can’t abide it being stupid! (Looking at you, too, “In the Forest of the Night”). Wish I could enjoy this story more than I do, but I’ve tried.

Apologies. Not like me to be so negative… but this story just gets my goat. I’ll move on so I can be happier!

In three, though actually it was the first picture that clicked as Vikings in my head a couple of guesses later

It took me all five. I was either being inattentive or I really didn’t recognise it.

Three. Went for The Eaters of Light then Listen. I mostly like this story, there’s a few weak elements, but I think Capaldi’s performance more than makes up for those.

Took me all five, I also guessed Eaters of Light, it has similar vibes I think. But yeah this is a story I don’t rewatch much. I remember where I was when I first saw it (in a caravan lol) because I remember it being a rare time when my other half paid full attention and I was so disappointed that it was pretty bad, it probably scared him off from watching it for the next decade :weary:

All 5 - thought we were being thrown a 'we’ve had that one before’ because I thought the carving was from Legend of the Sea Devils - so ended up all over the place as a consequence.

Actually, it’s good to read this. I thought it was a generally well regarded episode and have always felt bad that this one irks me so. Seems I am not alone in my dissatisfaction.

Blimey this sounds like you were proper slumming it.
