  8. Revelation of the Daleks Part One

    This might be my favorite Colin Baker story. I forgot how much I liked it.

    Love the blue cape he wears. Peri’s outfit is okay, but probably should have been warmer for their surprise snow.

    Is it just me, or are the funeral staff very queer coded?

    Oh, that’s Clive Swift (keeping up appearances, etc), he’s delightful.

    I don’t know if this 45 minute episode thing will catch on.

  9. Ark in Space

    Overall a great story, more ambitious than its budget allowed, packed with great sci-fi ideas, and of course one of the finest Tardis crews. If you only watch one Tom Baker story, this is a solid pick.

    Not that anyone should watch only one Tom Baker, there’s a reason he got 7 seasons.

  10. The thing about the Time Meddler is it’s nearly impossible to see it with the surprise as it would have been on broadcast. Elizabeth Sandifer (Tardis Eruditorum) argues the story should be called The Saxons or at least The Watcher (first episode title).

    While it’s a trope now, before this point historicals didn’t have sci-fi elements in them. Finding another time traveller was a true shock!

  11. “Rubbish. Why should I waste my time having useless injections against an imaginary epidemic?”

    Even 70s Doctor Who had to deal with anti-vaxers.

    The real enemy was idiotic bureaucrats the entire time.

  12. The Silurians episode 3. The scene with the Doctor popping into Dr Quinn’s cabin is fantastic. On the one hand, this episode is kinda filler, but Pertwee makes him running around and talking to people a joy to watch.

    Fulton Mackay is definitely the best guest star this story.

    Unfortunately they don’t give Liz much to do this episode except check in on the security fellow in sickbay.

  13. It occurs to me that the White Guardian would recruit the best and brightest person in the universe first, even if she was fresh out of school, and then recruit an assistant for her who had a TARDIS and a useful robot dog.

    Of course, this assistant has a bit of an ego problem so that's not how he'd pitch it...

  14. I ordered a book the other day. I knew I had volume 1, so I decided to continue my collection and pick up volume 2. Once it got here, while trying to find my copy of volume 1, I of course find a copy of volume 2 I already had. 😅

    Volume 1 is still MIA.

    Oh well, nothing wrong with supporting indie trans Doctor Who essayists.

  15. Thanks to everyone who participated in my Doctor Who poll. It ended in a dead heat, which means I clearly must watch both the Silurians and the Dæmons. Both are excellent, so no regrets there.

    ( @Printdevil is always right.)

  16. Been rewatching Mawdryn Undead. I had forgotten that it was Turlough’s first story. Has there ever been another companion who started out as an assassin trying to kill the Doctor.

    I like this episode, even though I don’t like the Black Guardian or Mawdryn, but I love that it’s actually a time travel story, particularly the (retired) Brigadier’s story.

  21. #classicToys #classicWho #classicDrWho #drWho #oldtoys #collectables my brother in law runs a small but focussed vintage toy store in Leek, Staffordshire (UK). He isn’t on mastodon (I don’t think he even knows about it tbh) but it’s a veritable treasure trove for hard to come by Collectables, gifts and so forth. Feel free to flow the link! classic-collectables.co.uk/

  22. I forgot that Zoe comes from a space station in the distant future, the year 2000.

    Have you been following the adventures of Karkus?

    From the Mind Robber, Doctor Who.

  23. I didn’t realize quite how many Classic Doctor Who stories the BBC has put on YouTube. Here’s the Patrick Troughton playlist. Not quite half of what there could be, but still, it’s something. I’ve been wanting to rewatch the Mind Robbers, one of my favorites. Probably because it’s one of the more experimental there stories.

  24. I realized that when I first watched Classic Doctor Who from beginning to end, there were only 6 complete 2nd Doctor stories to watch. In the ~20 years since, between animated reconstructions and recovered footage, there are now 12 more complete watchable stories. That’s kinda incredible.

  25. Found a great info graphic on Reddit showing the status of the Doctor Who lost episode restorations. It’s out of date, as the Smugglers has been animated since then.

    I haven’t been able to track down an announcement of which they are working on next, only that they want to start working on more than one in parallel.

    I’m a little surprised the Crusade hasn’t been knocked out yet. It’s the only one with 2 or fewer missing episodes left.

  30. Watched the colorized abridged War Games. I feel like there were a couple spots they trimmed it a little too much and the pacing felt rushed and awkward. But I do think it’s probably more accessible for people who are only used to more modern pacing.

    I kind of wish they included the original version in the extras, but I have that already so isn’t a big deal.

    #PatrickTroughton is my favorite classic Doctor, I think he’s underrated due to how many missing eps he has.

  31. Wish I could have participated in yesterday's #monsterdon while it was happening, but I'm just now watching #TheGorgon to where I'm typing this as the opening credits are in progress...and...I spy with my little eye #PatrickTroughton in the list. #ClassicWho #DoctorWho

    Oh my!

  32. The two smartest guys in the universe and each other's biggest weakness is how oblivious they are to their opponent's obvious ploys.

    #DoctorWho #TheSeaDevils #ClassicWho

  33. Then there's the Master, who still hasn't figured out how many times the Doctor has tricked him into betraying his allies and helping the Doctor against their now-common enemy. Who's got the hypnopowers NOW??

    #DoctorWho #TheSeaDevils #ClassicWho

  34. "You guard, stay here and guard the Master while I run off somewhere else. He is is very dangerous and somehow mysteriously keeps getting away. I am very smart. I am teh Doctor."

  35. I know I'm bad at names but the fact that I can't really remember the difference between these white men with mustaches in #ClassicWho tells me that a 1970s mustache is the perfect disguise for a human.

    (I think I have seen this serial, The Green Death, thrice now, and most of these dudes are interchangeable lol.)

  36. I am done! It’s over! It’s finished! Oh thank the King of England, at last I am through it all!

    13 seasons of NuWho, 26 seasons of Classic Who, and one made for TV movie co-starring Julia Roberts’ fairly untalented brother!

    Now what do I do?

  37. @davewossname @oldbritishtelly

    I stand corrected then. I watched the first episode as it happened in the junkyard, and most of the rest of #ClassicWho, but that detail hadn't stuck. Possibly because I was re-imprinted by the #NewWho, which I absolutely loved. I've seen every episode, most more than once, and even made a spreadshet of them.

  38. I finished watching Invasion of the Dinosaurs last night. A seriously underrated Pertwee. Ignore the dinosaurs (which are awful) and the script and performances are brilliant and its packed with clever ideas. The whole fake spaceship bit is genius.
