Just realised robot warned us about reform uk 50 years earlier

Rewatching this now that I’ve seen the episodes, you should definitely get Zoe back for another of these

God rewatching this is so sad… you hit the nail on the head and everything you feared with proven right. Casandra doomed prophet… and doomed trampoline.

What part did Warwick Davis play

Professors in DW and The City of Death Like 99% of classic who fandom I love the Fourth Doctor. Oddly though, whilst I enjoy it greatly, I seem to be the one person in the world that does not consider The City of Death to be his penultimate episode and really just for one reason, yet an issue that so often occurred in the series. That problem being how professors are always portrayed as crazy lunatics with a genius mind but no normal social skills whatsoever and always eccentric. Take the professor in Robot, the worse German accent in history professor in The Nightmare of Eden, the lunatic fascist in Inferno, the earnest but doddery old man in the Twin Dilemma and many more with maybe Professor Litefoot being the exception and of course River Song. Professor Fyodor Nikolai Kerensky in the City of Death was one complete stereotype of how DW usually represents professors and with that forced accent I find his character cringe to watch. I still think it is a wonderful story, but it never ceases to amaze me (as Tom often would say) that this has never seemed to be considered any kind of let down in an otherwise great story.

i reckon that the fact you made up was the one about the master being in in the night garden

Funny how the Master reacted at the kiss with Jo when later on he proceeds to marry Tegan and get her a matching dress too

I love the idea of Ryan filming the whole time. Imagine the power of the doctor with all the old companions getting to sit and watch his films together

Worth bearing in mind that after the first Pertwee season, this era really started focusing on a 4x5+6 format. They really nailed the 4 part structure (even when the stories weren't the best) but struggled with the 6 parters and what mostly worked was subdivision. Inferno worked for being effectively 2+4+1, Daemons (only 5 parts but still roughly in the same mould) was a rare success in through storytelling but most dragged. Invasion of the Dinosaurs showed the way ahead in a sense because it was basically a 2+4 subdivision. Most of the Baker era refined this with 2+4 (eg Seeds of Doom) or 4+2 (eg Invasion of Time), although Genesis and Talons were rare beasts and were completely successful as through written 6ers. Worth considering too that the revival era's standard of 45 mins per story is the screen time equivalent of 2 old episodes but the action is very compressed (hence the common complaint about rushed resolutions) so they can be compared to truncated 4 parters. The modern doubles are the equivalent of 4 old episodes but similarly compressed so can roughly be regarded as shortened 6 parters. Notable they generally involve a major switch of emphasis at the halfway mark. Finally, recalling my past, we generally didn't regard the bloat as particularly bloaty. If you'd missed an episode it was gone forever and you couldn't rewatch or binge, so the recapitulation of events, characters and even settings every week was necessary. By that I don't just mean the repeated lead up to the cliffhanger, I mean everything about the story. The show had to constantly put you firmly back into the situation after a week off.

Power of the Doctor

Trying not to make the obvious joke about resolution would be a certain kind of anime given the plot centres around a tentacle creature and a woman.

harry, I seem to have stepped on a landmine. pruuu- dududuuuuuu dududuuu anyone getting that reference? also ik im 2 months late but i dont care

Me who knows all Bionicle lore: "YOU FIEND! YOU LIER! SCOUNDREL!

"if there was any doctor that was going to settle down, it's this one" further proof that Davis in fact created canon

the music is shit but the questions ok

I have seen The Time Monster for the first time really recently and really enjoyed it

I love that since this video the master, davros and sutekh have all appeared in the show somewhere

If you've only watched these openings and never the proper show, you might assume the Hoix monster was more important.

Oh and Dimensions in Time was embarrassingly crap as a DW fan at the time, but you bet my DW starved ass was still excited as hell to watch it

I suppose at least The Light At The End HAS five doctors…unlike, THE FIVE DOCTORS

I like boom

42:31

What about 8 and Charley?

4:48 how does that work, it’s not an all powerful person, they are a weird entity that controls plastic, like they’d be pointless if they invaded a medieval fantasy universe or anything that hasn’t invented plastic

Bet JNT always wanted to get aladin

04.40: I can't tell if all that talk about memes is a joke or not. Do people really think that the word 'meme' is a 21st century invention? It's been around for decades - it just means an idea passed around by non-genetic means. The story is using the word in its classic sense. Apologies if it was a joke (playing dumb, etc), but these days, it's hard to tell...

Thirteen's most defining moment for me was not even in the show and came after two series, the video she filmed during the pandemic, she's essentially hiding in a cupboard, but her reassuring words and her energy, that made me love Jodie as the Doctor

On my first watch, I did not like the Capaldi Era, upon the second watch, he became my 2nd favorite Doctor!

Still one of my favorite reference books. The new little Dalek guide that got put out was pretty darn good as well. Though nowhere near as crazy.

I'm watching the second doctor just finished the 1st and man William was excellent and Ive finished power of the daleks and troughton is amazing.

I honestly don't think all these Missy's gal pals would get along so well.

If 7th aprove of the Stalin - I'm not sure he would necceraly fix 1984 timeline.

Actually I think Hatcher is trying to broadcast his own views through Doctor and I hate him for these. I think he's one of them Tankies - morons on the West who supports Tyananman massacre and other such atrocities.

Yeah, they do continue "his work" all wright. Living in Russia now almost as disurbing as it was during The Stalin's era. Screw this Hatcher fellow for trying to turning my favorite Doctor into a Stalin apologist. But I don't consider Seventh Stalinist to be a canon.

Welp... Sutek did it

Sorry tom im lying down

Hot take: it does work.

3:07 He's definitely the best looking Doctor. He was a total STUD in the movie, and he still looks great for his age. Best fashion sense too. Edit: 3:30 Wait, what? No way, broski. Just look at how they both look now versus how they both looked then. No freaking competition. They may as well be the same age, because Tennant looks it. Sorry, but it's true. 😂

I gotta say, I really enjoy your videos, but the thumbnails alone are absolutely stellar. I was tripping so hard the other day, and I kept my phone screen on for hours, just carrying the 4th Doctor with me. I've got them all lined up in a playlist now, and I've already decided that next time 8 is gonna get the top spot. Great thumbnails. 😂

13 wouldn't go BOOM! she'd go KERBLAM!

How to tell a man is pissed before making a video. This idea had a story behind it

7, Sally and Lysandra is an interesting wild card. This isnt a companion team, its a small army unit. 7 has 0 emotional attachment, and the emotional crux is on Lysandra helping 7 or not

We are here for this series 3 and Smith and Jones love

I've spent the last day and a half watching this entire series and my brain is a puddle. I've decided that yes, Dr Who is canon.

Saw Kalki like you suggested. It's not what I expected from the synopsis. Very enjoyable! But there was a good 30min-hour of stuff there that could be trimmed, not least of which was because it felt so dedicated to standard Bollywood tropes at the expense of a tighter script. And I am once again suggesting people read Kubera omg. It's so good. Hindu/Buddhism inspired take on a heavenly war, complete with time travel.
