I noticed several positive, in-depth YouTube videos and helpful reviews about this episode. Many comments showed useful background story details.
There was an extra comment that the Time Lady Jodie Whittaker would return at the end of Season 2. That led to a mixed reaction yet again.
The lowest viewing figures were reported, and some have commented on YouTube that millions of the show’s previous viewers missed out on a great episode.
Maybe they won’t care what others say about the series.
The 4th of May update is that I saved about £40 because there were fewer bids on the 6 eBay items I won. I paid £36 for these brand-new and unsealed picture prints.
I remember these being sold on the UK Shopping channels about 15 years ago for about £20 and an extra £8 postage each. Inflation since then has increased dramatically, so it’s even more amazing to think I’ve saved £130 than at that time, and even more so today, as if it’s more like £250. The eBay prices vary so much, even for the basic pictures. This purchase is extraordinary.

http://www.picclick.co.uk and http://www.grelly.ukThe 4th episode was scary and not suitable for children. It contained scenes of terror and violence. Even so, it was an important story because it highlights how we must have protectors in a strange universe with aliens popping up uninvited.
The return of the Doctor’s companion Ruby Sunday led to a podcast interview leading to a romance that didn’t turn out to be a loving relationship after all.
We were then led into an information war against UNIT, the defence organisation that works with the Doctor. In today’s world, content is king, so the information war requires live footage shared around the world. Security is then compromised and the monster threat really begins.
This is the proof required that the aliens threat is real. Humanity is under threat every second of every day. That’s why Area 51 exists even if just to test military aircraft now and then.
Considering how the media was used to provide news reports is something else. Twists and turns every minute in this episode and the volume needs adjusting now and then as that increased suddenly and it was annoying more than scary.
So this show wasn’t one for the kiddies and there should have been a warning to let viewers know this before the story becomes violent. Next week’s episode is about a giant spider so that’s another way to put viewers off!

The MSE, MoneySavingExpert email stated there was another British Gas tariff deal. This means I could switch from V30 to V31 starting tomorrow. All it means is paying a few pounds extra a year due to the calculations for my estimated usage per month and year. This 2-year, 24-month deal is easy to switch to, even if it costs a bit more. My tariff would remain at 23 months left, so I updated it based on the calculations.
I will start on tariff V31 to pay £120 a month, even if this decreases in the Spring, Summer and early Autumn months, until later this year, when the temperatures drop and I must pay anything up to £200 a month!
Sometimes, websites aren’t working, but is that for everyone or just me?
This website runs a check to find out if a website is available or not:
https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
Type in the HTTP or HTTPS to find out, and add the w w w part if necessary.
Sometimes HTTPS URLS don’t work, so we try the http option, and sometimes we can use a short or tinyurl way to access long URLS instead.

The third episode is about a mysterious evil that attaches itself to a human who has killed someone. It turns out this is set thousands of years into Man’s future, and the Doctor has to figure out what to do as every clue unravels in the story. So we see different ways to help others in distress. The Doctor tries to overcome the increased aggravations from those he tries to protect. It’s a sad example of humans in distress making decisions they won’t live long enough to regret. The story is claustrophobic, similar to the Alien films and as darkly lit as the X-Files TV stories. So some TVS won’t display such scenes as clearly as we may appreciate.
Even the ending makes us wonder if things went well… or not so much…
I saved about £15 on the Morrisons website once the order was more than £60.
I get the £1.50 delivery for an evening delivery yet there are more daylight hours this month.When I got Amazon Prime for 99p for 7 days, I only used it a few times, so I cancelled it a day before it got renewed. I will get a 99p refund soon.
As a side issue, I got a £5 Prime Video offer and I used that up. I couldn’t record the film using the HDMI to SCART adapter, so I tested elsewhere to find a free version available on the Internet. So I accessed that and downloaded it using downloading and conversion software.
I will use the http://www.morrisons.com website for more card offers rather than the Morrisons Groceries store and its offers sent to my email account.
The http://www.atlasformen.co.uk website deal was 3 for the price of 2, even on Clearance items sold and delivered by Atlas For Men. So I ordered 18 sets of jackets and paid for 12 instead. Instead of £144, I only had to pay about £90 and saved about £50 last week. That’s why I ignored various deals in their emails until this deal came along. This time, I bought items in different colours.
I noticed a discount on the http://www.amazon.co.uk website. The price was about £11.25, with a 5% discount if I bought 4. I checked my other sellers’ deals and got a better one. I tried various promotional discount deals for their codes. When I registered as a new customer, I got an extra discount using a welcome code. So I saved over £90 just by shopping around and applying the savings to a large order.
So the Amazon website isn’t the best every time.
I ordered the 99p a week Amazon Prime and saved £15 on a Morrisons/Amazon £70 order for later in the evening.
Groceries/Morrisons code was SAVE20SHOP1 and is the first of the 3 voucher offers…
22/4/25. This week, check the Amazon Book Sale and perhaps get 5% off when we order 4 books. I switched accounts and found 2 separate Amazon Prime 7-day deals for 99p. So I can start early tomorrow. I recently claimed a £5 Video Rental credit this week.
British Gas Submit Meter Readings, NB phone 0800 07 28 625 and provide the answer for your account number based on your monthly email bill information. It takes a few minutes, yet it’s a free call.
USWITCH sent me an energy tariff email update for British Gas, so I visited the British Gas website to check available tariffs. I have about 15 months remaining on the V51 tariff, and I switched from this to THE LONGER FIX V30 tariff for 24 months starting tomorrow, 23/4/2025. The tariff increase is about £35 a year for my account, or 10 pence extra a day. The charges are the same for day or night electricity, so no concerns about what time the electrical equipment gets used.
