Well it's possible the dune sharks were invented prior to Dredd, I don't know. But the dune sharks in Dredd's world can fly, have razor teeth. The similarity is almost identical. Taking a guess, I reckon someone on the Doctor Who production team - writer, creature designer etc, is a fan of 2000AD and Judge Dredd and was inspired by the dune sharks. They do say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
RTD himself has said he was/is a fan of 2000AD, he put Max Normal in Gridlock (it's continous motorway inspired no doubt by the roads of Mega City One) for example
Also I believe the female newscaster in Gridlock was based on one from "The Ballard of Halo Jones".
well i love RTD's reply, but it makes me quite sad that his other half is clearly upset by some of the stuff that has been said about him. This is the downside to forums, people in the public eye become dehumanised on sites like this and people sometimes say things about someone here that they would never dream of saying to them in person.
In a way the internet is the last refuse of the coward.
Thank god you wrote this because it's been bugging the hell out of me since yesterday what that film was called! It was simillar I agree but nothings that original anymore.
it was basically pitch black meets flight of the phoeix for kids. It wasn't that great, felt like an average episode, just getting ready for the next 3. Plus points Tennant as great as ever and Michelle Ryan was very good as an assistant, liked her alot.
The OP was wrong - Planet of the Dead was actually a rip off of 'The Langoliers'!
How could i be wrong, can you read minds? lol
I said what I THOUGHT it looked like PB based on the trailer i'd seen and i HOPED this was not the case, it wasn't.
i've never seen or read langoliers I dont read King he uses a 1000 pages where 100 will do.

How do you know that if you've never read his books?

Thanks for that, was just asking as you said you don't read King, don't see the need for the insult but if that's your style thats fine.

And it Wasn't glad my fears wearn't realised lol
Indeed, and just like the TV movie of The Langoliers, the ending was ruined by poor CGI.
That was what I was thinking too
