Yesterday I posted a brief mention of Norris, J’s critique of The Chase as “memorably bad”. It appears he’s a bit of a closet Doctor Who fan and gives this coded message about Terry Nation’s Pertwee stories:

I’ve been meaning to add a link to you to my v dull blawg entry
I’m afraid my comments are non-legal with high DW geekiness.
The CHase (para 36) is probably the worst Dalek story excepting the one from last year.
The reference to NAtion’s Pertwee stories is that Nation regurgitated his plots regularly (to the extent that one script editor told him the story had been submitted before according to a recent DVD documentary about him).
The fishmen were monsters in The UNderwater Menace (1967 I think) – which featured as guest villian Doctor Who’s most OTT villain Professor “nuzzink in ze vurld can stop me now” Zaroff.
