I do like the heartbeat that we hear when the seaweed shows up. I think that works well - the thumping sound. Thing is I'm unclear why the seaweed (creature?) is doing what is pic.twitter.com/1k87kkm7qS

Halfway through Fury and I hit episode 200 in the project here. Doesn't feel like 200 days since I started this, but here we are. The Doctor does some experimentation on the pic.twitter.com/p3e4765xFb

They're spending time setting up Victoria's exit from the series in a couple of episodes. Not every companion gets that - some are like "Bye!" The lower areas of the base look pic.twitter.com/bOP11kh58Q

departure than most companions do. A fun fact about this story: Fury from the Deep is the only Patrick Troughton story whose official title did not start with the word "The".? pic.twitter.com/D6VVKQt5j8
