Re: Post-DNA radio versions
"I find the post-DNA radio versions all a bit flat in comparison. DNA managed to instil a curious type of almost-science, and relentless logic, into it that sort of made sense,"
Yes, the internal logic of the "world" in which the story is set must make sense. It's what lets down poor or inexperienced writers, especially in the SF and Fantasy fields. You can have wonderful new science, magic spells or whatever, but they have to make sense in the world of the story and not just appear out of nowhere to solve a plot point when the writer has written themselves into a corner. It doesn't matter if the science is silly, so long as it's all consistently silly :-)
