Best for:Solo: Midnight nostalgia binge with zero expectations.·Friends: Drunken roast night — the practical effects alone.·Rewatch: Spotting which beach this was clearly filmed at.

Trivia

This was part of 'The Stranger' direct-to-video series, essentially Colin Baker's post-Who gig—imagine if your ex kept making mixtapes about your relationship.

Cultural

Shot during the UK sci-fi direct-to-video boom when fans would literally buy anything with a former Doctor on the cover. The 1990s were a wilderness.
