The sequel to Does Anything Eat Wasps?, with again loads of scientific trivia. Though I’m not completely sure I believe what it says about snot.

All this hate for Sylvester McCoy’s era is outrageous. Sure, Time and the Rani, Dragonfire, Silver Nemesis, and Battlefield deserve the places they got, but Paradise Towers, Delta and the Bannermen, and The Happiness Patrol shouldn’t be so low. And Greatest Show in the Galaxy? 119? No, it should be around 40 or 50. Glad Fenric and Remembrance got high ratings.
Other quips include the Sun Makers at 147 (so wrong), The Face of Evil so low (also so wrong), The Curse of Peladon is too low and Vengeance on Varos was fantastic.
The Silurians and The Sea Devils are much too high. I hate those episodes. Silurians was boring and Sea Devils had no plot and ripped off of Silurians. Stupid.
