The Robots Vol 4 (Spoilers OK)

And the return of D84 too am on board I’ve loved all three of the sets so far

This is a great series so I am glad there are 6 more episodes on he way. Slightly surprised by this though, given that we know the end point of the series - Liv meeting the Dr and Helen again in the closing scene of Escape from Kaldor - I assumed The Robots 4.3 would have a very definite end tying back to this point. Obviously not though, if we are getting 2 more series.

I wonder if that means the ongoing thread is being stretched out, perhaps with more side trips and non-arc stories added along the way. Or maybe of course series 5 & 6 are missing episodes from series 1-4?

Apologies for posting about series 5&6 in the series 4 thread folks

Am guessing too that it must have sold well and people enjoyed it to get two more series or the four box sets could have been 4 stories each and two left over-am only joking 😂

I think it needs space to breathe and let’s be honest it’s Kaldor best flesh out a world it’s not often we stay in the one place and time..not even Stranded managed that😂😉

Yes agree pity we won’t hear more of David but hopefully Pamela Salem will be involved 

I've thoroughly enjoyed every entry in this series so far, so I find myself surprised by the way I feel about the announcement of two further sets. One of things that had me most excited about The Robots is that we knew exactly what it was going to be right from the outset - four three-disc box sets, each episode representing one month for the year Liv was away. Despite my enjoyment of the series, I feel slightly disappointed that we're getting more. By the end of Volume 3, it really felt like we were setting up the endgame in the fourth set, and now we're being told we're only halfway through. Having thought of this series as only ever being four sets for so long, regardless of how I think about it consciously I know that, on a subconscious level, everything after the fourth set is going to feel like we're dragging things out for the sake of it, not because the story requires it (which I know is a fault with my brain and not the story itself, but I do think it's going to spoil my enjoyment of the series as it continues).

So yeah. Excited for the fourth set, but not thrilled there's going to be more afterwards. Wish I could logically explain why I feel that way, but I don't think I'll ever really be able to make sense of how my brain works...

I totally get where you are coming from but as they say it is now what it is but somehow am sure this was decided probably even after the second set was getting done...and as I said if it was a four disc set we would only have two episodes to complete it lol.Plus budgeting money hahah.I did get a wave of disappointment when I reread and said wtf two more sets????Somyour mood was perfectly understandable 

On the plus side it is kind of nice continuing in the one loacation and no time jumping there is enough about Kaldor to retain my interest but I think they may stretch the story

So am I I just once in a while like to play the devils advocate-I hope if I don’t really enjoy stranded that this will be the highlight lol...but am sure I will enjoy both

I mean... having heard zero episodes of this series so far - is it possible that Liv will catch up with the Doctor in Vol. 4 with Tula, Toos, D84, etc. in the lead roles for Vol. 5 & 6?

PS. D84 should have been a companion!
