Legend has it that the director thought it looked like a p***k so they put a cloak on it - which just made it look like a p***k in a cloak. Yep, saw that in the Curse of Peladon. Scott thought it looked like Mike from Monsters Inc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I get the need for the Doctor to build a time sensor. But why shape it like this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were Eccleston or Smith or McGann or even McCoy stepping back into it with a story arc and not just a guest appearance, then that would be something to get behind..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Been rewatching from the start since the last episode. Seen a fair whack before but never actually gone all the way through. Nearly done Troughton. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, given how much I like Hartnell. I actually quite like the loose Canon tele snaps on Daily Motion. Prefer them to the animations sometimes especially the ones for the Invasion which are horrific 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 On a similar journey @Autistisches Nilpferd but a wee bit ahead of you. Passed The Three Doctors (or as Scott called it, two and a half Doctors as William Hartnell was barely in it). Now back to normal business, messing about through time and space. Carnival of Monsters was brilliant. Great idea, wonderfully written. Quite funny, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 They really phoned in the Space Pirates didn't they? Doctor, Jamie and Zoé hardly in it. Six weeks of boring filler before going absolutely batshit with the War Games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Just finished Planet of the Daleks. It was great, and really a second part to Frontier in Space. Very much enjoying both Pertwee as the Doctor and Delgado as the Master ("You will obey me...") Good to be back in space again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Patrick Troughton ️ I'd seen bits and pieces of Troughton before and didn't think I'd like it as much because I love Hartnell. He's brilliant though. Without 2 Doctor Who would not exist today. Black and White done, missing episodes done. On to Jon Pertwee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Into the final series with John Pertwee. Jo is away, and that was quite poignant, and replaced by Sarah-Jane Smith. There'll be no more Roger Delgado, which is a real shame. So far I think Pertwee is my favourite of the originals. And Jo was a very good companion indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have gone back to space and time sooner, though. Endless early-70s England episodes did get a touch stale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemy of the World was fantastic. A genuine baddie in Salamander. Zoe has appeared as a new companion. Wow. Have not taken to Jamie. Compared to Ian or Steven, he just doesn't offer all that much.

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) You're correct, there were two movies in the sixties, "Dr. Who and The Daleks" and "Dalek Invasion of Earth 2165", and agreed that the second one is much better. I was only listing the stories that are classed as canonical within the show, though, so the one I was referring to was the Paul McGann TV movie of 1996. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_(film) Edited January 11, 2023 by Bully Wee Villa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Just finished Invasion of the Dinosaurs. The special effects haven't aged well for this one. Very interesting story, and a shame to see the beginning of the end of the Unit team who have been throughout the Pertwee era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
