This review contains spoilers!
I just watched Attack of the Graske for the first time in 16 and a half years - twice, the win version and the lose version. Bar from the Graske I remembered none of it. I loved it! It’s a rogue introduction for Tennent on Christmas Day with a cheeky warning not to change to ITV that evening (or the remote will explode).
The puzzles are endlessly inventive and make the most of a controller and video game set up that has pretty limited functionality. The multiple points of interaction, feedback and alternate endings would make any young viewer feel like the companion for 15 minutes.
I’m amazed at how full on the production is, they spent some proper money on something a maximum a million schoolchildren will have accessed over the course of a year. The Victorian and spaceship scenes especially looked expensive. I wonder if they managed to reuse the CGI and movement for the Slitheen, or whether there were elements of that specially made…?
The best bit for the adults is all the bits of the cheeky dialogue they stick in, talk of not putting the wrappers back in the sweet tin and Tiny Tim with broken ankles.
