DOCTOR WHO | Every 1980's Story Rated in 10 Seconds

[@ITSMeatMan]

It’s a Doctor Who 60th anniversary miracle!

[@Chubby_Bub]

DAVIS, this video showcases you have an admirable talent for odd descriptions that somehow end up making a lot of sense. For pretty much every rating I was like "what?... actually yeah, that's a perfect way to describe it", even when I disagree with some of the actual ratings. A lot really work because of how strange and specific the context of 80s Who is... I think my favorite is _Dragonfire_ being "bravely competent".

[@shortangel333]

Wait the first story of the 80s was the HORNS OF NIMON?! Thats actually really funny. 10/10 for irony. The only thing that saved that episode for me was Lalla Wards outfit. Who would have thought a red overcoat could distract my brain from the lack of plot.

[@sg-zd8eb]

Parts Three and Four were shown in January 1980.

[@bookswithike3256]

Lalla Ward's outfit in that story is one of my favourite Doctor Who costumes ever, and it's criminal that people don't talk about it more.

[@shaunflaherty1985]

Great video! Dont think ive ever disagreed with one more

Personally, I think classic Doctor Who ending with a 6 is actually appropriate

cant wait for more takes like "inferno is a 4/10" !!!!!

[@NickWasiliev_Official]

My god so many 1s. But hey, knew that was happening. Love you Sam, the fact you've been harsh on 5 and his TARDIS teams and yet his first two seasons by the numbers seem more consistent than Tom's run. That's the fun of this channel. Honestly punched the air for you giving Varos a 10, but wish Rememberance got a 10, purely cause I want every Doctor to have a 10 somewhere. 7 and 13 miss out I guess 😢

[@stanley5745]

I recently rewatched the 60s and 70s videos and was so looking forward this, always a fascinating watch

[@PL3223]

Aaaah! Eagerly awaiting your next video!!!!

[@joshsobchak9902]

Was not expecting this so soon, but glad to see it! Interesting to see we have the opposite opinion on Trial of a Time Lord.

[@DantheManIamIam]

Lovely that you’ve come around to Paradise Towers. Not one of the best stories but one of my go-tos for casual viewing, it and happiness patrol are JNT gaudiness used for good, unique TV. Too bad he couldn’t have done that before he had already sunk the ship.

[@MrTanokki]

Hard disagree on Mark of the Rani, the plot isn’t anything interesting but the interplay between Colin Baker, Anthony Ainley, and Kate O’Mara is fantastic enough to make it a strong 5 (or perhaps 6) imo.

[@Joey15811]

Time flight and arc of infinity are under rated AF! I love both those stories! Mawdryn Undead is amazing!

[@najawin8348]

Sam, the leak you're thinking of is talking about what episodes COULD be Moffat's. He only has the one, but they're not sure which of two places it's in. The most recent leak is on (yt will get mad if I actually say it properly) arr gallifrey. It's like 5 hours old, he's only got the one. And it's even worse. The two new writers who were announced? They're apparently cowriting one episode together.

[@najawin8348]

Sam, re: "Capaldi said Moffat did the same thing", that some people are saying - you can just point out that we _know_ what episodes Moffat did Davies level rewrites on in the Capaldi era. He put his name on them. They have cowriting credits. There are definitely rumors about certain episodes in S5 and S6 that _don't_ have his name on them, but we can be pretty certain that Moffat was much more hands off compared to Davies. (Also, Sandifer has made comments about how Moffat was less involved, and she's more in the know than random twitter users. Obviously he'd still do so when needed, of course.)

[@jedisalsohere]

I am slightly curious as to your reasoning behind Mark of the Rani. I mean, yes, it's bad, but I don't think I'd give it a 1. It looks pretty damn good, if nothing else.

[@ravatosthepro1323]

hope we get another broke canon soon, miss that series

[@Bagofnowt]

I've been getting into classic doctor who for the first time recently now it's all on iPlayer, and I have to say starting with McCoy really got me into it. It's similar enough to the revival to be a bit of a jumping on point into classic, and honestly even the super hokey stories are fun. Delta and the Bannermen is probably my least favourite of what I've watched so far (also that sounds like a band) and even that's fun enough. I have Time and the Rani and Battlefield left to go, then I'll jump more into 4, my other favourite classic doctor so far.

[@eccentriastes6273]

It's a reference to the band Echo and the Bunnymen.

[@melindaphantom9450]

As much as I like 80s who, as i just have bad taste and i grew up watching the good 80s stories, it is an embarrassment and yeah maybe the show did deserve to get cancelled, and the behind the things drama didn't help and JNT should have been replaced early on, it is an endearing love, it has alot of ideas, characters and things that I love, held together by... well I don't think it was, and thank god twitter didnt exist in the 80s, I love you 80s who but you are not ok

80s Who is perfectly wonderful and you have proven your lack of taste in slating it.

[@White.Rabbit.Productions]

Can always count on DAVIS for some really hot takes. Just goes to show KZbinrs aren't professionals, just ranting simps. DAVIS is clearly a Tennant/Smith fan-boy who holds Classic Who's pacing to New Who standards. - Four to Doomsday at 7 (which takes so long to get going, the most boring villains who literally just sit in chairs almost 100% the time), rated higher than Castrovalva and Logopolis? LOL (obviously he can't appreciate slower-paced stories which are thought-provoking and time taken to develop character) - Remembrance of the Daleks not a 10? Bizzare.

[@SamyulDavis]

Not 100% accurate, (I'm a Troughton and Capaldi nerd) but yes, absolutely unprofessional. I love that that there's no agreement on which ones are the good ones. Some stories I adore the big episode count and sometimes I can't. Might just be the editor in me always wanting to abridge. Recommend the 60s one, might change your mind.

[@rnw2739]

Nothing worse than a simpleton with video editing equipment and a KZbin channel. Add to that the usual Antipodean cringey 'We'd love to be American but we're not so let's try to pretend we are by speaking like them' trait and the recipe for excrement is complete.

[@soarel325]

I was going to say something about a few of the bafflingly low ratings you’ve given a bunch of these, but I am pleasantly surprised to find a second person who really likes The Mysterious Planet! That’s ALMOST enough to let me forgive your ratings for Greatest Show in the Galaxy and Battlefield…

[@nicholasbarry2686]

You underrate the Davison years horribly imo. Time-Flight, Arc of Infinity, The Awakening, all of those are perfectly serviceable romps, far from being disasters. And Mawdryn Undead, Warriors of the Deep, and Planet of Fire are masterpieces of the era, frankly. Give me Fivey's worst output any day of the week over Tom Baker's tortured middle period.

[@rnw2739]

Hear, hear!! This absurd Aussie's 'take' on the programme, is so obviously a 'hilarious monologue' palmed off as critique. Given that the only activities to indulge in Down Under, are providing vocals for a Stock, Aitken and Waterman single and bestiality, he had the time to pen some genuinely amusing narration but no, he sticks to cringeworthy Americanisms ('math' indeed!) and retrospective falsehoods - like anyone from Woop-Woop knew who Mary Whitehouse was. As for knocking 'crap' acting when the top television programme in his barren environment was 'The Sullivans', that is the funniest thing about it.

Leisude hive is a -20. Dreadful story and unwatchable. Warriors gate is awful too. Season 18 is the worse pre Whittaker series. A messy all over tge place regeneration story with too much to do. An aquired taste one in warriors gate Keepee and Meglos fine but far from greats. And Leisure Hive is one kfnthe most boring and unwatchable stories ever. Tom Baker is at his worse. He looks bored and tired here and proof he overstayed. Full Circle and State of Decay however are the onky things that carry this story

[@rnw2739]

Absolutely. By this time Tom has clearly given up, he looks fucked and soapy and it was a relief when he finally left.
