It’s
somewhat telling that Underground Toys released an action figure of
the Hoix monster from the beginning of Love
& Monsters
but not the main alien, the Abzorbaloff.
The
Abzorbaloff was designed by nine-year-old William Grantham by way of
a Blue
Peter
contest. I’m sure Mr. Grantham – now seventeen if my math is
right – is well into regretting this particular victory.
Things
I love about this story – Marc Warren as Elton, Peter Kay as
pre-transformation Mr. Kennedy (Kennedy),
the interaction and companionship of L.I.N.D.A., E.L.O., and the
continuation of the theme of the collateral damage the Doctor leaves
in his wake.
Things
I do not love about this story – everything having to do with the
post-transformation Abzorbaloff, the fact that most of L.I.N.D.A.
dies, the horror of the Ursula Tile, and the fact that there wasn’t
more E.L.O.
Join
me, Director Faber, Mike Gordon, Jennifer Hartshorn, and our special
guest Mary Ogle as we take a look at this story from David Tennant’s
first season as the Doctor:
