Fury From the Deep

“The Weeds of Death”, “The Seas of Doom”, “Life’s a Beach”

“The One with the Halitosis” (USA), “Docteur Qui et le Foam de Mort” (Holland)

Doctor Who stops a sea weed monster which manifests itself as detergent foam. As you do.

*** - I imagine the foam sequences looked rather like a DWAS meeting would look if news reached them that an episode had been discovered in a basement.

Debbie: "Look at that film of the TARDIS going down into a vast ocean."

Frazer: "That reminds me, thanks for last night."

"It's down there. In the pants. Waiting"

Three pounds and six shillings were spent on suds.

Mr Oak and Mr Quill were based on popular 1920s music hall act Stanley Oat and Oliver Quilt

An Italian called Roberto Cappuccino was watching this story with a mug of coffee and the froth gave him an idea which would make him a millionaire.

Debbie “Soggymeadow” Waterfield-Watling accidentally breathed in during one of her screams and swallowed a cubic yard of foam. To this day she produces bubbles when she belches.

Ms Watling decided to leave Dr Who at the end of this serial to give her more time to prepare for the “Barnacled Baby” as well as any other acting opportunities which might arise in the future.

The Letchworth Leopard’s TV page called this “Compulsory viewing in modern households” but their horoscope page warned “Bad fortune will come in the form of beach debris with a mind of its own.”

"A few months ago I found myself, as I regularly do of an evening, enjoying a small glass of sherry at the Elk and Bush. I evidently hadn't been in on the third Thursday of a month with a J in it as never before had I found myself sipping sherry while surrounded by freaks, weirdoes and h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l-s having a disgusting time at 'Rubber and Fetish Night'. I tried to ignore them and concentrate on the small pile of nuts that I'd secreted in my pocket while the landlord was measuring out my drink when I overheard a man who appeared to be dressed as a Voord discussing something with a colleague. "I tell you, Philip, there is nothing as exhilarating as getting weed on." I naturally assumed they were discussing Story RR and felt myself honour bound to correct their misunderstanding. "Don't be pathetically stupid" I quipped, my nuts roll onto the floor in my excitement, "there is nothing exhilarating in having your mind possessed by a demonic sea parasite. It is typical of you subnormals to fail to grasp even the simplest details when watching a television programme." The public house went quiet as I realised I had gone too far. "Erm... I mean listen to a television programme as obviously Story RR does not exist on video cassette tape" I added. But they were so enraged by my blunder that I was bundled out of the Elk and Bush and beaten several dozen times by a group of women carrying rubber truncheons. Oh well, I bear them no ill will. Live and let live - that's my motto and I said as much to the police when I telephoned them and told them that the Elk and Bush was being used for immoral purposes."
