@retrotv is airing the trilogy this week .

Love all these. Brilliant list.

Good review. Definitely want to watch this.

The Black Guardian was so annoying.

The best way to watch Doctor who is with your eyes... Unless you are unfortunately blind then use the audioscripion.

Terminus was memorable for being pretty bad.

I do say the target novel of Terminus, having no chapters was terrible and it made no sense and also this story is not a great story. This story having the black guardian in is awesome, and he was fun . The sets are awesome and it was sadly Nyssas last final story, and I was sorry to see her go .

Good adventure. Really enjoyed it. Good review.

Excellent episode and review.

Good review and channel.

I do say this story Richard this story for me was well complex, seeing Lethbridge-Stewart back, was awesome but I wish he had come back still in the Military would have been better in billions of ways and also seeing the Black Guardian back is awesome and having Valentine Dyall back in the role was awesome too. I do say Valentine was awesome as the hero in the Blakes Seven, episode with Colin Baker as the villain Bayban the butcher called City at the Edge of the World which is one of my alltime favourite B7 episodes. I also think it was a shame in billions of ways that Ian Chesterton was not brought back, but there we are . I liked Turlough and he reminded a bit of Zachary Smith from sci-fi series Lost in Space, Zachary Smith was slippery and cunning as was Turlough been under the Black Guardians power.

Its a very long story, and not one of the best lol

I say Colin Baker prior to this was a villain in Blake,s Seven called Bayban and he played the role awesomely in billions of ways, and he was buddies with Jackie Pearce the arch-enemy Servalan and Paul Darrow Avon.

I have this cd Richard and it is awesome in billions of ways, and having the Mondasian Cybermen back is also awesome in billions of ways

This was the first Doctor Who annual I ever read. In some ways it was the last of its kind from World Distributors, as it was the last to feature strip stories and the last to include stock science features. But I don't think the small blonde in The Penalty would have been Rose in the 1983 Annual! It was probably a reference to Jo Grant.

Another thumbs up 👍

Would love to see a tv episode of this one or at least an animation

I love the Cybermen. To me, The Tenth Planet was the episode that changed Doctor Who forever.

Really enjoy this one, one of my favourite Big Finishes ever. Peter Davison really knocks it out of the park here and the music is so good. Great review

Excellent short!

Great video, love watching about these 80's annuals. My first annual was "buster and monster fun" that was in 1980

It did have time in the title not a good omen

I really liked this adventure. It was the Doctor in a "who done it" in the classic mould, sorry bit of a pun there. I had come up on Hartnell with historical adventures. By keeping this one to 2 episodes, unusual, it's as if the producers were not fully confident in idea of a purely historical after such a long break and were rather hedging their bets.

A low point for sure

Excellent review of one of my favourite adventures

Definitely gonna get this

I always loved this episode, for the longest time I had only ever seen Part One while I was on a holiday so when I eventually got my hands on the DVD when that came out I was over the moon. Absolutely incredible stuff in my opinion. Great review!

I like it a shame we don’t get episodes like it

I wonder Richard were you like myself a huge fan of Blake,s Seven as well as classic Dr Who, the man Terry Nation who devised the Daleks as the Doctors arch-enemies devised 2 science fiction series first the Survivors and then later Blake,s Seven and there are people who say Blake,s Seven needs to be reinvented and rebooted for TV I do no know whether that would be such a good idea myself what if any opinion do you have on that please Richard.

I do say Richard when Adric dies it is similar to the demies of Gan in classic Sci-fi series Blake,s Seven in the 2nd season episode Pressure Point both male characters regulars as they were are killed off and no fans of Blake,s Seven and or Doctor Who knew in advance these two main characters were to depart their respective sci-fi shows by been killed off . David Jackson Gan, in B7 was keen for Gan to die , as the part was very limited and could not really develop Matthew Waterhouse Adric wanted to leave Dr Who but he did not want Adric to die, and when JNT decided that 3 companions in the TARDIS was way too many he decided one must be written out of the series. He wanted it to be Nyssa at first but Peter Davison strongly objected, and instead JNT went with Adric who was not as popular amongst the companions and so Adric was written out in a way that was not the usual way for a companion to leave Dr Who. When Adric was blown up aboard the spaceship the unnamed freighter it was a big shock in billions of ways, but it menat Adric could never return to the show in the future his demise was the final end of Adric.

Hi Richard when Earthshock was made and broadcast for the first time, the Cybermen,s return in that awesome story was a great big surprise in billions, tens of billions and hundreds of billions of ways and there was no way the secret that they were coming back after a gap of 7 years having last appeared in Revenge of the Cybermen with the 4th Doctor not even the Dr Who comic which had become monthly and still is to this present day would on a preview for Earthshock advertise the return of the Cybermen. I was back then aged 13 and also it was the second colour Cyberstory and the second not to star Patrick Troughton as the Doctor given how much the Cybermen were the recurring villains in the 2nd Doctor era and were taking place of the Daleks at the time. This Cyberman story was also the first where neither of the 2 men Kit Pedlar and or Gerry Davis the two awesome men who devised the Cybermen as new returning villains to take the place the Daleks were leaving empty as their creator Terry Nation was removing them from Dr Who to put them into their own show in the U.S. which ultimately did not succeed . In the year Eartshock was shown there was no internet, no social media and also no twitter and also fans of Dr Who could not get to see this awesome Cyberstory been made the public gallery was closed to keep the surprise of the Cybermen,s return a guarded secret and when the first episode went out on tv I got goosebumps and I had only seen the Cybermen on tv once before in Revenge of the Cybermen 7 years earlier when I was 6 years old.

This comic strip are awesome in billions of ways and I have these comics.

Good story. Pre Avatar.

Four to Doomsday was a good, not great story.

I like Black Orchid

Space frogs. Mabye, they are selling Bud wise er where no beer has gone before or it could be the future off spring of Tsuyu from My Hero Academia well you know here families quirk is frog like.

I quite liked this story

Current rumours claim that Alien Isolation Remastered is about to be released as a tenth anniversary edition with official VR support! Alien Isolation 2 is expected sometime late 2025. Don't know if this is true but I certainly hope so!

1984 Dune is so much worse than Villeneuve's. Villeneuve knew how to adapt it while Lynch tried to jam every single thing that happened in the book into the movie. I don't hate Lynch's but it felt all over the place, while I thought Villeneuve chose the elements to focus on and brought them to life cinematically.

Great review

I loved your fourth doctor impression

Another thumbs up 👍

Thanks for the reviews. Unfortunately I couldn't get tiks to anything but Sooz for the day we're going. You picked some great entertainers and I'll look out for them for future.

More annual reviews, if possible.

Great vid

Good review

I still own a copy of Lynch's Dune on VHS... Anyone own a working VCR? LOL! ❤

Great review it's a crazy story the novel was crazy but this took up a notch

The books themselves were mostly awful and forgettable, but the behind-the-scenes dramas on Outpost Gallifrey with the narcissistic "authors" strutting around taking themselves so seriously was hugely entertaining and the best thing to come out of Doctor Who.

Great list. I agree with all of them. Narrowing it down to 10 is tough.
