Warriors of the Deep: The Myrka, the Mess, and the Missed Opportunity <br /><br />Classic Doctor Who has had its fair share of dodgy effects — but this is the one that even Michael Grade dragged onto Room 101. So why isn’t Warriors of the Deep universally considered the worst of the bunch? <br /><br />In this video essay, I dive into the infamous Myrka, the story’s surprisingly haunting ambition, and the production decisions that doomed it from the start. It’s part critique, part post-mortem… with a dash of affection for the effort behind the foam. <br /><br />If you enjoy in-depth breakdowns and you'd love some extra content, you can pledge your support on Patreon: <br />https://www.patreon.com/playbackpending <br /><br />Background Music: “My Little Chromatic Bastard” by SamuelFJohanns <br />Licensed via Pixabay.
