Sam's hair colour tint

Sam's hair colour tends to change throughout the series in very specific instances.

These are the 6 hair colours I was able to find

Intro and some series 1 episodes - (brown with red highlights)

Telly Trouble - Auburn

Treasure Hunt - Auburn brown

All In A Good Cause - Auburn with lighter highlights

Disaster for Dinner - Bright red

Disaster for Dinner and Home From Rome - light auburn?

Disaster for Dinner in particular is interesting because there

appears to be two versions of that episode,

there's the regular version and the remaster.

I thought the hair colour changed depending on the lighting

but after seeing these two, I feel like it might be due to the film reels used,

I'm not sure if it was aged film like Sailor Moon

or if bright red was the original colour, just corrected

Get Set Galactic this week.

James, Ayo, and Sam help the under-fives understand basic science principles. How come some things are heavier than others? Will it float?

Can you pick up the toy from the conveyor belt? Build a bridge?

The science content is precise and appropriate for the audience of five-year-olds. And the underlying message - try it and test it! - is something older viewers might internalise.

There's a story through each episode, Ayo and Sam solve some crisis on their spaceship by remembering what science pioneers would have done.

In @becrystalamazed's Protagonist Alignment chart, Get Set Galactic is a combination of youth and wisdom. It's the antithesis of Splatalot, both in content and style.

My favorite thing about Merthur is that, yeah they have soft moments sometimes, but they're bastards at heart.

i like the idea of pat being super physically affectionate like even in the tiniest little ways because obviously he worked with kids for a decade, so his instinct is always a hand on your shoulder or a high five or a hug or a ruffle of your hair. so like sometimes alison will say something funny and he'll go to clap her on the back and make himself nauseous. she gets a cramp and grabs onto the railing of the stairs and he automatically tries to put a hand on her arm to steady her. mike is cooking and about to touch a hot pan and pat instinctively tries to push his hand out of the way and he doubles over through the stove.

and then with the ghosts like it took a loooong time for some of them to get comfortable with it because most of them are really repressed and come from time periods where casual affection like that is just unheard of. every time someone gets walked through pat is there to rub their back. when cap is on patrol and pat is walking with him looking at the birds, he puts a hand on his shoulder to guide him out of the way before he steps on some gardening equipment. sometimes he catches himself licking his thumb and rubbing some soot off of mary's face without even meaning to. julian hurts his finger straining to type and pat instantly pretends to offer a bandage and kisses it better. he'll do that dad thing where he just falls asleep on the couch and robin will curl up next to him. when he wakes up and robin's still asleep he pets his head and furs as robin snores. he offers to fix fanny's hair when they've had a particularly rowdy day despite the fact that it will fix itself in 5 minutes. he hugs kitty good morning every day. do you see my vision.

Last year, Jonathan Bufton wrote a couple of articles about Parallel 9.

They were ace.

They inspired a cast reunion, thirty years after the original shows.

Now, Jonathan writes about series 2, from summer 1993.

Parallel 9 was set on an alien planet, where strange life-forms run amok, and even stranger things happen. This year’s series features a bald researcher, a spiky-haired lab assistant, a clever woman, and an Earthbase filled with people from Aussie soaps.

There’s also a heavy metal dinosaur from Rotherham.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Tossing left and right, you're whining slowly. Your eyes are closed tightly but your face is scrunched as if you see something scary and then suddenly you wake up from your slumber.

you panted a few breaths and looked around fearfully. Your forehead is visibly wet with sweat while your body is shaking with fear.

It's been 3 times you've had nightmares. everything is the same and does not change. Your dream of being kidnapped by a Dalek and having to see the Doctor suffering with the torture that the Dalek put on the Doctor in front of you makes you afraid and worried about the situation you see. And there was a time when you could hear the shrill voice of a Dalek shouting "exterminate!" around you and one by one they blast shots at you both causing you to jerk awake from sleep.

You whimper in fear, your eyes are glossy with tears as you reach for the pillow to hug and hug it tightly to your body seeking comfort from it. You don't have anyone to comfort you, so a hug pillow is one of the comforts you get, but it's not enough.

While you have been traveling with the Doctor for 2 months, you are still afraid to seek comfort with the Doctor because you are afraid of him do not like physical touches.

You know the Doctor is easy going and bursts with joy energy but you are still worried about finding comfort in him. There are times when the Doctor can be serious and intimidating.

But you really need someone to comfort you if you have nightmares again. So you dare yourself to go seeking comfort at the Doctor.

Slowly you got up from your bed and walked out of your bedroom. The atmosphere of the TARDIS is quite quiet and calm and humming can be heard around it, probably it is the TARDIS that made it. You let out a short breath and walked over to the console to find the Doctor.

As soon as you arrive at the control console, your eyes search for a glimpse of the Doctor who usually lodges at the control point to find the next adventure. But he is not there.

Strange, you looked for the Doctor and saw him sitting under the TARDIS controls fixing some wires while talking to himself. You walked over to where he was and kneeled over him.

The doctor who was busy fixing the wire looked up after noticing your presence.

"Y/n, why aren't you sleeping yet?" The Doctor asked you confused.

"I was asleep but I woke up because of a nightmare" you replied in your small voice.

The Doctor's face then became concerned. "what happened? how many times have you had nightmares?"

"it's been 3 times I've had nightmares but all nightmares are the same" you said lowly.

The Doctor then got up from where he was and sat next to you. Doctor then hugged your small body tightly. Your head was on his chest and you could hear the sound of the Doctor's hearts beating quietly.

"You can find me if you can't sleep, you know?" The doctor said and put his head on top of your head and closed his eyes.

"I really want to find you but I'm afraid you don't like physical touch" you said into his chest even though it sounded muffled because of how close your head was to his chest.

"That's not right. I'm always open to whatever comfort you want. So don't worry because I'll be there for you" Doctor kissed your hair and stroked your back gently.

"I dreamed we were kidnapped by the Daleks and.. and you were tortured by the Daleks. It's scary and overwhelmed." you said shakily.

"hey, hey.. It's ok.. it's just a nightmare. Besides, we've escaped them many times, haven't we?" The doctor tried to lighten up the mood.

You nodded slightly. "Can I cuddle with you until I fall asleep?" you ask the Doctor.

"Of course you can. Before that, we don't want to sleep in the control area do we?" The Doctor jokes.

You chuckled and nodded then stood up and walked with the Doctor to your bedroom with your hand tightly around the Doctor's.

No matter where you are, the Doctor will be there to comfort you.
