Saw the new animation of Fury from the Deep last night, a story that, aside from reading the novelisation as a kid, I've really little familiarity with, obviously because the whole thing is missing. I was actually planning to watch just the first 3 eps and watch the rest tonight, but ended up watching the whole thing! Considering that I somewhat struggled to get through The Faceless Ones, even the second time, that's probably a good indication that I absolutely loved this! I was really surprised by how much fun this one was. It took me a little while to get used to the animation but once the story got going I was all in, and it kept me gripped throughout all 6 episodes, which went by surprisingly fast, I thought. For a character I'm not that much of a fan of, Victoria's departure was surprisingly emotional and well set up and played - she doesn't really want to leave the Doctor and Jamie, but she just can't hack being scared out of her wits every five minutes everywhere they go. Can't really blame her! This was great and Fury definitely joins the ranks of my fave 2nd Doctor stories. Roll on Evil of the Daleks and The Abominable Snowmen (hopefully!).
