I agree. The high-contrast model shot with the yellow lighting is my second favourite in the show. First being the static slow zoom shot on tape of course, as I imagine most would agree. I swear the scene where Avon finds the jewellery was in the VHS. That's what I grew up watching. Maybe I've mentally rewritten that version though. As for the guards falling over in the reactor explosion, my morbid theory is that they're killed by the radiation burst before the actual kinetic explosion kicks off.

He seems to has lost his word…

Brilliant.

loved it! great job. loved them!

Thanks for putting this up, I have the edited vhs but never got around to sitting down and comparing with the re-release or dvd. I watched the edited version when the dvd came out but by the time I got around to sticking the disc on (and having a few wines) I’d forgotten what was snipped. I expect we’ll see this version on the eventual blu-ray release.

good analysis, I've just started going through the dvd's! Brief overviews are the way!

From memory, I think this original release was the first to be available for £9.99. Prior to that, "Doctor Who" releases were priced at £25.

This was the very first commercial VHS of "Doctor Who" I ever bought, back in 1985 for the princely sum of £25! I still remember the magical feeling of being able to watch a vintage "Doctor Who" story, whenever I wanted to. It's hard to comprehend that now, but it was very, very special back in the day. It has to be remembered but (as with all TV output back then) these productions were a "one off" and were never intended to be even repeated, let alone released for on-demand viewing. Huge credit to everyone involved for the sheer amount of work involved in making viewing so good that it still stands up to this day.

Genius

Wow, there are more editing differences than I'd realised. But for me the one that jumped out when I watched the Blu Ray was the Triffid gun sequence, no blade effect leaving the gun and a totally different shot of the Triffid where you don't actually see the 'slice'. This was a really shoddy job

Guys I think he has an idea

Very Good! 👍 Great to see Tom Baker - the GREATEST DR!!

Thank you so much for this.

Brilliant. Now where have I heard that name before? aha! DW magazine.

Sylvester has one of the prop chairs from the gallifrey war council scenes from the end of time and day of the doctor

Just delightful.

Joyful.

5:22 -- "Give the Restoration Team a hand..." I see what you did there.

Class.

Look at my Raymond Blanc Parody video for uncannily similar effects!

😂 My favorite! 0:19

Bossy, pompous❤❤❤❤❤❤

He really was like Handles 🤖to the fourth Doctor.

I've Heard that word so many times that its lost all meaning.

Flowery Twats was my favourite sign misspelling gag in the opening titles. Fatty Owls comes in a close second. 😆

Used to watch it with my grandmother that Mr bean father Ted

1:36 just for liz 0:13 oh no liz

My favorite was ''You fat bi..tch, you and your mum''

R.I.P Terrance. He was 86, a pretty good age.

Say "ah." Æáĝăgĥĥh... ahh! Aah hah AH ah. aahh ahh ah ah... ah! a A ah? Auhh! Ah... aah hahh ah ah. ah aahh ah hhh! ........🐴 uhu.. uuha ahaa uhaa aha aha hhaa aahaA uhaa uUhAA uhAA aaAAAA aaaaaaAAAAa aaaaaaaaaahUUu hurrharrr aahah aaAAA aahhwowo...ah!... ~FIN~ All i hear is aaahhhhaaaa...

I love The Pyramids of Mars and I love Sarah Jane Smith (R.I.P. Elisabeth Sladen), yet although I can see why it was chosen as the third release, I am surprised nobody mentioned/mentions the bit about alternative time, apart from the little bit of U.N.I.T dating controversy but it must've been the first time we saw The TARDIS land back in the same place and the same time, I think it only happened once before, but even then it was not exactly like this, (In The Ark, the old girl leaves and then pops ahead a few years but still arrived in the jungle part of the ship), I don't think in Classic Who of any other instance before, but then it occurred in The Invisible Enemy, but it was treated like a joke, but oddly enough, it also happened in City of Death and Shada as well. (Bet someone will do a video about it now) 😉

Such are versatile actor then become a star as the phantom of the opera

Great stuff!

I've heard that Patrick Troughton watched a screening of this story the day he died.

He likes that bit

I think hes on abt cake

Not going to lie, the non-digitally replaced text actually looks WAY nicer. 3:55

The Mike Pratt stand-in stunt double supercut! 🙂

Loved this series !

I love everything about this, but above all I like how this enables us to hear the following line unburied by audience laughter: "But what if he hadn't been? Plastic."

😂😂😂😂😂❤😂❤

I like The Sea Devils

Imagine if Gwen Cooper met Lindy Pepper Bean? "Lindy, you better shut up before I lamp you one!"

You can really tell Doctor Who and The Doctor got most of it's personality from Jon. No shade to William or Patrick, they're great too

What a crossover this would have been. Love to see The Doctor and the Headmaster go hed to head.

I’m not an 11 minutes late person.

Highlight of the episode.

That's my daily fix of Bottom sorted... thanks.

These were originally screen on TV as a TV movie, I cant remember when but I have feeling It was Easter weekend.

Where has this channel been all my yt life? 😂
