A webisode produced to accompany the Lockdown watchalong of Love & Monsters.
Tropes
- Avenging the Villain: The Abzorbaloff attempts to avenge the death of his son in Love & Monsters.
- Art Shift: This minisode is animated rather than live-action.
- Back from the Dead: Subverted. The Doctor assumes that the Abzorbaloff is the same individual as the villain who was killed in Love & Monsters, only to learn that he is that Abzorbaloff's father.
- The Bus Came Back: This minisode features the return of the Abzorbaloff for the first time ever since Love & Monsters, discounting the blink-and-you'll-miss-it flashback in The Timeless Children.
- The Cameo: Sad Tony, the runner-up for the Blue Peter Design-A-Monster Contest which the Abzorbaloff won back in 2005, makes a cameo here.
- Continuity Nod: The Abzorbaloff identifies his species as "Abzorbalovian". This marks the first time that the term, which first appeared in Captain Jack's Monster Files, has been spoken in performed Doctor Who.
- Sequel Episode: To Love & Monsters.
- Strong Family Resemblance: The father and son Abzorbalovians are all but identical to each other.
