Day 22: Favourite audio play
Day 22: Best and worst fusion with another genre

The best has to be the western saloon scenes with Travis, Docholli, and Chenie in Gambit even though there's a Mardi Gras going on in the background.

The whole Picture of Dorian Gray thing was too blatant. If they'd named him something else, then it would be a nice horror fusion, but they went the unsubtle route, even the grey clothes he stockpiled for everyone but Avon.

The worst was Paul Darrow hovering a hand over his guns as if he's fanning six-shooters from the old west. Seriously?

All the original questions are on Tumblr.

Good choices! And another great substitute question! (thinks: can I apply it to my 4 fandoms? Probably not)

As you know, I kind of like the Terminator-esque Headhunter episode with the gang trying everything to escape from an unstoppable android coming after them. Surely the writer of the Terminator watched this episode. I think I'm a bit obsessed with the Terminator 😅 Or generally with plots where people are running away from someone/something and they get more and more pushed into a corner or extreme measures as the pursuer will not stop, ever. I suppose the genre is action thriller rather than sci fi?

I also like the heist episode, was it Gold? With everyone pretending to be different characters. I think it was that one. A heist/crime drama is another genre isn't it?

Yes, heists appear a few times, given Avon and Vila. No lasers to avoid or Vila suspended from a pulley - pity! ;)
