10 Embarrassingly Shoddy Doctor Who Monsters

2. The Taran Wood Beast 'The Androids of Tara'

This one is inexcusable. This is where the money clearly ran out. As soon as this thing bursts out of the woods, the first thing you think is, €˜you must be joking€™. But nope, they€™re dead serious. Fortunately the creature only appears on screen for a couple of minutes. But you see it in its full glory. Consisting of a gorilla suit hurriedly hired from the nearest fancy dress for a tenner, with a paper mache mask that must have been made overnight. The Taran Wood Beast is actually laughable rather than terrifying. I hope it was just a native of Tara having a joke. That would have made much more sense. Thank goodness it€™s sent packing by Count Grendel. Then we can get on with a decent story.

My speciality seems to be Doctor Who, years of accumulated knowledge and passion appear to be paying off creatively this being one outlet channel. So thanks for sharing in that with me and offering your support by reading my articles.
