I really wish the writers had further explored that ‘nutriment drink’ that the Inspector and Phil were served in ‘Frown’.

What was it *really* made of? Algae or the former inhabitants of the colony?

It’s good that the programme has progressed from the ‘screaming girl’ Associates

to ones with some gumption of their own.

It was weird to see Phil after she was converted into a Circuit Chap,

but it was absolutely hilarious when you consider everything she said came out in the silly mechanical voice of the early Circuit Chaps.

Despite the fact that her previous appearances established her as a genre-savvy character,

Phil absolutely failed to understand what those human-shaped pods were in ‘Frown’.

Rakhee Thakrar said she wasn’t too disappointed

with only appearing in one series of ‘Inspector Spacetime’.

While the Inspector faces a difficult meeting with the Magma Soldier,

Phil meets a British adventurer in a Regency-era space suit.

Despite the Inspector’s getting between them,

Nijl somehow manages to shoot Phil in the abdomen.

Phil discovers a Persian soldier by falling into a pit

and learns that something killed the rest of his army.

Why would the Inspector allow Phil to wander off into the desert alone

in search of the army of Cambyses that went missing in 5th-century Egypt?

What happened to Phil?

How did she end up with the Secret Intelligence Service?

There’s no real reason for the Magma King to solicit Phil’s advice,

other than she’s unlike everyone else in the room.

#Inspector Spacetime #King of Venus (episode) #Magma King (character) #Phil (character) #Phil Bobbs (character) #asks her opinion #because she's different #from everyone else in the room #a bit discriminatory isn't it #paternalistic society

The Inspector tried to reassert real truth onto the Rabbis’ subliminal broadcasts,

but it takes Phil’s untainted memories of her dead father to save the world.

It was a very honourable thing for the Inspector

to give up his eyesight to save Phil’s life.

A malfunctioning space suit is the difference

between Phil surviving and dying.

Phil discovers the wayward girl

who doesn’t know her mother’s dead

because of the robots.

It’s nice that Phil made a new friend.

Even if that friend didn’t end up being what Phil thought she was.
