Review of The Zero Imperative by snakesontoast

28 June 2025

I enjoyed this one quite a bit!

I wasn't sure what to expect going in, despite the mostly positive reviews, considering BBV's other output. I'd previously heard a decent bit about PROBE, mostly for either a) being the spinoff that gave Liz Shaw a wife or the more recent ones being absolutely dreadful.

I will admit the first of those definitely colored my enjoyment. I dont know I ship it, probably, what you you want from me. Definitely had me smiling at things I likely wouldn't have otherwise.

The audio and visuals were... not great, but that's about what I've come to expect from BBV.

The plot made sense for the most part! It fell apart a bit at the end, though.

And finally, the acting. It was very strong for a BBV film. It may come as no surprise to hear that the highlights of the entire film for me were the lovely Caroline John and Louise Jameson. Caroline John is wonderful as always and Louise Jameson is possibly my favorite actor in the whoniverse, nay, at all. I'm not sure I'm capable of disliking her performance.

Four stars! Dethroning Zygon as my favorite of the BBVs.
