Review of The Colour of Terror by hallieday

19 June 2025

The Ninth Doctor #31

'Shades of Fear: The Colour of Terror' (2023) from The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Series 2.


Despite being a little bit goofy in a kind of Auton-like setting, the villain here is quite compelling, with how it takes over anything that is the colour red, and the way this influences the really brilliant little set of characters is a lot of fun. Kind of reminds me of a Fam dynamic, with Frank Skinner actually killing it. Could easily see him in a Graham-type position. The ending with the woman talking to her deceased fiancé through the red dress is honestly haunting. Love to see more instances of The Doctor not being able to save everybody.
