Finding out-of-season Brighton beach somewhat lacking, the Doctor and Romana travel to the leisure planet Argolis.
Ravaged decades ago by an interstellar war between the Argolin and the Foamasi, Argolis now hosts the Leisure Hive – an ideal retreat for tourists from all over the cosmos. But a series of accidents leads the Doctor and Romana to discover that the Hive holds dark secrets…
This is my interpretation of the classic era Doctor Who season 18, episode 1 of the 4th Dr regeneration Tom Baker. When they visited Brighton briefly at the beginning of the episode.
All the classic are episodes are available to stream on bbciplayer & Britbox. Would recommend if you’ve never watched any of them. The effects may be bad, compared to, today’s standards, but the stories are incredible.
Dr Who is one of the reasons I paint the themes I do, it was and still is a humongous influence on me throughout my whole life. I’ve even built my own tardis which sits in my studio, just to put my art supplies in.
