An Alien being named Empyrian has successfully managed to infiltrate a Space Ride at a funfair, replacing it with an actual ship. Convincing a group of people onto the craft, they get an experience they'll never forget.
I imagine this is something of a polarising episode, personally I absolutely loved it, I think it's marvellous, over the top fun. This episode would definitely have appealed to my younger self, the thought of a funfair ride being an actual space craft, that's enough to stoke the imagination.
Lots of screams, lots of gobbledegook, it is out and out sci fi. A group of unsuspecting individuals step onto a craft, and get whisked off into space, I could have been describing Doctor Who there for a minute.
Empyrian is a complex character, he's not just a ranting and raving megalomaniac, he's perhaps the most well balanced and reasonable character of the lot.
Simon Oakland's costume and makeup are spot on, they did a fine job with him. The lighting is great too, it's never overdone.
I may be wrong, but I think some of the sets and equipment used were recycled from The Bellero Shield.
This was great fun.
9/10.
