Writer James Goss said:
The Terrible Shame of a Tree is an episode all about Derek the Tree, played by Derek Elroy, and how trees are sad. It also features a psychotic tree surgeon, a tree being and a forest full of trees in space! I’ve always loved anything which is essentially alien. Here we have the idea that Benny and her friends – and one of them is, of course, a pot plant – are being chased through a spaceship by a deadly menace."
In Mr Pym has an Adventure,Benny decides that Mr Pym should have an adventure because he’s never left the asteroid – or if he has, he can’t remember ever leaving it. So she takes him on a trip to an alien planet where she’s determined that he’ll enjoy himself – and he has a horrible time! Mr Pym is a lovable old fusspot, and Nickolas Grace gives a crotchety performance as he ‘learns’ to have fun, which is an absolute delight.”
