How Warriors turned out was such a crime. It was envisioned as a dark and claustrophobic story (the writer took influences from the Alien movies), and it came out like an over-lit abomination.

Nah, Warriors was utterly misconceived from the start. The story of the Silurians and Sea Devils had been told brilliantly the first time in Pertwee's era. There was no point making a contrived, redundant follow-on that was never needed. Especially one that misunderstood the source material so idiotically. Awful fanfiction was what was written and that's what we got. Even if James Cameron had produced and directed it with a million dollar budget, it'd still be terrible.

But of course, the Greatest Companion of All Time was Sarah Jane Smith, who paired with the Greatest Doctor of All Time, Tom Baker, to mark the clear high-point of the decades-long show.

To many UK listeners, though, her accent sounded rather American, and for the time that's all that mattered. (I recall Bryant talking about the "mincer" vs "meat grinder" line in the following season and her disagreement with Turner over it, noting how most Americans wouldn't say "mincer" but the much more common "meat grinder". A small detail, true, she said, but one that would mark Peri's American-ness a touch more clearly in the episode.)

I've always felt weird about Season 21, but it wasn't til now I've realised it's because of the almost obsessive need to change *everything*. There's a real sense of whiplash in this season. Most of the show's changing periods are handled with care (usually with companions crossing over) but with all of the old being kicked out, and we haven't really had time to get to know Peri before the Doctor is changing too, there's a real sense of the entire show being upturned in 7 episodes in a great big rush to make everything different.

Approx. 25:00 -- the major issue, production-wise, with Kamelion is that its creator, Mike Powell, had died in an accident not long after it was accepted as a prop/companion on the show. Powell hadn't made any detailed notes about how to repair or operate the prop and, similar to when the set for the "Victorian" control room in T. Baker's era was damaged due to poor storage, the production would make no allowance for redesign nor to pay an outside professional to repair and maintain it. Otherwise, Kamelion *could* have worked as a companion, particularly as many of its appearances would be as someone else (that is, played by "x" actors in whatever episodes). But alas....

Completely disagree with your take on The Awakening as it's my favourite Davison story full of atmosphere, great locations, gorgeous design and a nice tight script. Frontios is a brilliant serial, again with plenty of atmosphere and some very effective lighting. It's also by far Bidmead's best script. Resurrection is an utter mess with a confused script trying to fit too much in. Leslie Grantham was also an unknown when it aired since Dirty Den wouldn't make his debut in EastEnders for another year. Planet Of Fire is brilliant and looks great, but Nicola only kept up the fake American accent off screen until rehearsals for the story began. Otherwise, a decent overview of a pretty good season.

Think I've mellowed a little bit since then, but still have a good time with this one. I understand the problems with the Chameleon prop, but I think it shows a bit of a lack of imagination, using that as an excuse. This isn't K9. K9 was practically a prop 9sorry to all his fans) -- Chamaelon can assume any shape. You don't even need to use the prop much. Just get some establishing shots with the prop and you could have a different actor play him in every story. Would have been some neat story possibilities there.

Resurrection of the Daleks is a mess but the Dalek assault on the space station is fun, and the mutating gas really scared me as a child. Frontios is a great idea poorly executed. Planet of Fire is just boring except for Peri in a Bikini, does have a good cast, its just so dull they dont get to shine. I dont mind twin dilemma (except the twins), but then Im a 6th Doctor Fan, I dont think he got given the chance all other Doctors have had. Now as for Warriors of the Deep, you are just wrong, Warriors of the Deep is too Dr Who what Goodellas is to gangster films and Schindlers list is too depressing but excellent mainstream cinema. What more could you want Silurians, Sea Devils, an undersea Nuclear missile base, a monster that electrocutes anything it touches, Ingrid Pitt doing what I think is meant to be Karate??

'The Awakening' and 'The Caves of Androzani' are just utterly superb. 'Warriors of the Deep' is a wonderful book but suffers in television adaptation due to lack of budget. 'Frontios' is a snoozefest which is expected as its penned by Christopher H. Bidmead - a writer who's scripts can be used as anaesthetic. 'Resurrection of the Daleks' has its moments - the best being Tegan finally fucking off - but doesn't warrant 4 episodes. 'Planet of Fire' is a complex story but a noticeable improvement, especially as Kamelion is in it again, Turlough has much to do and is central to the plot and the wonderul Peter Wyngarde and his tea towel are a delight to behold. Christopher Gable is simply out of this world as Sharaz Jek in 'The Caves of Androzani' and without him this story would be run of the mill, save for the end regeneration. 'The Twin Dilemma' is hilarious as Colin is brilliant and doesnt deserve the hate it gets. Yes, the sets, budget and acting are a massive decline of the predecessor, but still light years ahead of 'Time and the Rani' and 'Robot'.

Sarcasm is a reaction, that's it. My preferences go off of how the various Doctors play off of "I am the Doctor" and what they emphasize; My favorites go for "I" while Tom Baker stressed "the"... the definite article one might say... and Troughton focused on "Doctor". Davison? "Am". If you're going to carry a show, you have to do more than just show up.

Doctor Who is ever so changing there have been some popular stories with weird characters and events that change the whole thread to a characters origins or a mix of good characters that standout but on the side of stories I think some writers just read what has come before and mix up the plots from older sources which doesn't mean that's bad sometimes it actually comes across darker or better than the original. Personal I did like Peter Davison he bought something of a old boy school charm and gave a pretty good run as the Doctor but he did full down on over acting or sometimes had to remember his lines before saying them there are many moments you can see him moving his lips before a scenario comes? I suppose the one time we actually grew closer to this Doctor was when Adrik died we saw this as a turning point in doctor history this moment made the doctor really alone even though he wasn't?

Then this season could've ended on a much better note, and Attack of the Cybermen could've been adapted into Colin Baker's first story, which would've been quite a bit better than what we got.

To be honest I only tuned in to Dr.Who because of the hot female assistants !

Yeah, as an American, I have to clear up this notion that Doctor Who was super popular over here. No, it wasn’t. It just had a small but very vocal, and probably lucrative, fan following. But we were actually very small in number and we’re massively outnumbered by the Trekkies and general sci-fi nerds. Sorry, there just weren’t that many social misfits and scrawny computer nerds to go around back then (as science fiction and computers were solely the domain of nerds…sorry, the USA was, and remains, an alpha-male jock and frat boy nation). I was thankful that the show put so much effort towards us. It seems we were JNT’s target demographic. But we were very small in number. Honestly, I couldn’t get anyone in my world interested in Doctor Who, aside from Tom Baker-City of Death was the one serial/episode that was openly loved and not just barely tolerated). Whovians were the misfits that the other misfits looked down upon. You would have to wait until Modern Who arrived for real US fandom to emerge.

I have never really gotten the claim that Warriors of the Deep had any kind of a good script beneath all its production faults. It was mindless moronic misanthropy that associates bodycounts with drama, and just the show sinking to doing its own worst fanfiction. On that score, Grade and the BBC were right to consider the show past its time.

100%. (Gee, that online name looks familiar... heeheehee.) Frankly, the ONLY way to deal with a story like "Warriors"... is to SKIP it entirely on rerurns. There are some STAR TREK episodes I do that with lately. EVEN 1st season episodes!! Actually, there is an alternative with stories that badly-written... but it requires RE-WRITING the things from scratch, and from then on, pretending that the re-written versions are what actually happened.
