| - Terror of the Vervoids is an episode of the Sixth Doctor of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It is the third part of Trial of a Time lord and the only episode ever to feature the Vervoids as an enemy.
- Terror of the Vervoids was a hasty-replacement story than ran third in the surprisingly not-yet cancelled 23rd Season of that rotten old British children’s programme Doctor Who, and was first broadcast in four weak parts during the dim, grim November of 1986. The final episode was broadcast on the - holy shit! - twenty-third anniversary of the assassination of President John F Kennedy. That’s a lot of “twenty-three”s, a number which brings out the conspiracy-minded twats like Doctor Who draws Phil Sandiflour or a trash bin draws flies, so this story must be pretty damn important, right? Not so much.

| - Terror of the Vervoids is an episode of the Sixth Doctor of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It is the third part of Trial of a Time lord and the only episode ever to feature the Vervoids as an enemy.
- Terror of the Vervoids was a hasty-replacement story than ran third in the surprisingly not-yet cancelled 23rd Season of that rotten old British children’s programme Doctor Who, and was first broadcast in four weak parts during the dim, grim November of 1986. The final episode was broadcast on the - holy shit! - twenty-third anniversary of the assassination of President John F Kennedy. That’s a lot of “twenty-three”s, a number which brings out the conspiracy-minded twats like Doctor Who draws Phil Sandiflour or a trash bin draws flies, so this story must be pretty damn important, right? Not so much. This story was part of the season-long story arc ‘Shall We Cancel This Time Lord Or What?” that resulted in Colin Bunyan getting the sack and nearly ruined Doctor Who forever. Its other crimes include inflicting on viewers the unfortunate first appearance of Bonnie Lungforrow as the Doctor’s screamingest companion Melody Pond. Pardon me, I mean Bush. So vile and devious is it that only those partners in crime Pwip and Jar-Jar Beggar could have committed such unholy words to paper and the airwaves; known for previous work so unmentionable that it required the worst impulses of two people to devise. Is there a vague sense of leaden dread forming in the pit of your stomach yet? The only thin ray of pale sunshine to be found beneath these dark clouds is that this marks the last story Ian Levine would have any influence over (for now), and might even include a good ol “fuck off” in appearing to retroactively rename a spaceship the Hyperion II. Only someone like Levine would even care or know what I’m going on about, so it is the sickest of burns.
