Doctor Who: Season Nine (1972)

[@BrickMantooth]

When I was 15, i got to watch an episode of the Curse of Peladon in a hotel common room next to Jon Pertwee who joined us and did a running commentary. It was one of the most rewarding bits of fandom in my life. What a nice man.

[@BrianRPaterson]

I'm both jealous and super happy that Jon Pertwee was as lovely in real life as I have heard. BTW: I once unsucessfully tried to convince my family to fly home early from a package holiday in Portugal so I could watch Jon Pertwee interviewed on "Ask Aspel." Just one of the challenges of growing up in the pre-VCR age. Cheers

[@pablobratcat]

@@BrianRPaterson Ask Aspel wow I remember that. I was scared by the opening sequence, I don't know why!

[@safiremorningstar]

​@@BrianRPatersonyou know that's something that most kids will not understand, what we did before there was VCR or CD's or Blue ray etc.

I'm surprised no one commented on the "Buck Rogers" theme when Jo gets sent to the 22nd Century!I Oh, my God! That was funny!!

Where is the Buck Rogers review?

[@zoeherriot]

The console room set in the time monster actually warped in storage and that was why it wasn't used again.

[@SJKPJR007]

Great video. I was always struck by the disparity between the articulation of the two Ogrons on The Day Of The Daleks. Love the humour.

[@StamFine]

It's like Ogrons putting on their own production of "Of Mice and Men."

Jon Pertwee & Tom Baker the best two doctors

[@bigyin2586]

It’s almost like the BBC knew that Jon Pertwee would be big shoes to fill, so they picked another actor who was as tall!

[@nigelcarren]

Thank you for these. I had intended them to help my insomnia, but in actual fact they might now be exacerbating it! Tis the most enjoyable binge thank you! 🏆🇬🇧

[@aarthoor]

What!?! The Time Monster is classic and the 6 part stories were always excellent, except the mutants which always drags on a bit when I watch it. Funny how different people see different things. Keep up the good work though!

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I think Day of the Daleks is sorely underrated. Especially the special edition.

[@mikeavalon3086]

I have just watched Time Monster. I am seriously bewildered.

[@StamFine]

It’s one of those times things slipped past quality control.

[@dogspunk]

These musical bits are so fun. Especially blasting techno from Bessie 😂 So good.

[@markhayward7400]

"Day Of The Daleks" does contain a wonderfully well modulated but slightly camp performance by Aubrey Woods as The Controller! Aubrey Woods was a familiar TV and film figure when I was young. The previous year he had played Bill in "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971) where he got to sing "The Candy Man".

[@JayExci]

is there a full version of the theme used at 0:24 available anywhere?

[@StamFine]

yes. on spotify, apple music, etc. look for Retro Crowd: The Twelve Doctors (released 2016)

[@GeoffTV2]

OK, I nearly sprayed my coffee over the computer because of the gag at 2:25 Thanks for that 😂

[@gussyt1761]

So glad I found you, this is a great video

[@kirk1701]

You might already know this, but King Peladon is portrayed by David Troughton, Patrick Troughton's son. David would show up in a David Tennant episode as well.

[@keithhealing1115]

And then become a farmer in a long running Radio 4 soap opera!

David Troughton recently got to reprise his role of King Peladon in the Big Finish box set Peladon.

Has Michael Troughton done any Doctor Who?

[@kirk1701]

@@bigyin2586 Yes. According to my online search, he's done some voices on a few Big Finish productions. He's also continued his father's role of The Second Doctor for Big Finish.

The king of Peladon was portrayed by David Troughton, Doctor Two’s older son. Worth a mention?

[@RJLNetwork]

DAY OF THE DALEKS is my favorite of Season 9!

[@RangaTurk]

Not only that it is my favorite 1970s story, but I have a feeling that I'm alone on that one. Everything just gels together perfectly and at four episodes it does not drag in any way whatsoever. From the Neville Chamberlain period style opening to the East Prussian Offensive style climax. In addition to that, I like the Dalek voices how they are. In fact, I find them more menacing than the conventional voices from every other 1960s and 1970s episode. The regulars being Katy Manning, Nicholas Courtney, John Levine and Richard Franklin are all at their best. Terror Of The Zygons is the next best UNIT story to this one and both make a great pairing better than Invasion Of The Dinosaurs and The Android Invasion did in that box set they released some time ago.

[@colinhogg7867]

Loving your reviews. Spot- on and very funny. Keep up the excellent work!

[@harrypalmer4857]

[@robalexander8065]

[@Alien8_P1]

Just shows that we all have different tastes. I absolutely love Day of the Daleks and The Time Monster and thought the other Series 9 episodes were only average as best.

[@harrynewiss4630]

The new edition of Day of the Daleks is a massive improvement

[@bluewinds10]

Dr Who is on Britbox and I was watching Day of of the Daleks and thought, shit, - the laser beams in the fight scenes are good for the 70's. Now I know it was a fan re-edit version

[@GrymsArchive]

This could have evolved into a even better video: *The Daleks: All the BEST!* Featuring their top ten hit: *Exterminate!!! MY BABY!!!* Along with some of their other *Timeless classics* such as: *DOCTOR?!!? DOCTOR?!!?* *ONCE!!! TWICE!!! THREE TIMES A DALEK!!!* *THE WIND CRIES DARVOS!!* *LOVE ME TWO TIMES?!* *TIME! AFTER TIME!* And of course, their monster hit of the 1960's: *TIME! IS ON OUR SIDE!*

[@Pony-Potential]

5:40. We're all gonna ignore the Ratchet and Clank 3 Sound effect he put there?

[@robbiethepict2783]

The Doctor loved his car stereo,

[@Nige031077]

Three Daleks in Day of the Daleks I can live with, but what always puzzled me was did no one watch the scenes before someone gave the go ahead for the shot to be the 'final cut' as it were, 'cos why did they leave in the yellow screen by the door, when we should have been able to see the top of the stairs outside the lab.

[@RangaTurk]

When I first saw it I thought it was some sort of new Tardis interior because I had not seen any Jon Pertwee stories for such a long time when I was much younger and I missed this story when it was last broadcast on ABC TV around January 1985. That shooting gallery built into the wall I would have classified as exhibit A. I was much more used to the UNIT laboratory of later years.

I always enjoyed Pertwee. I really really enjoyed Jo. Being in America & watching 15+ years later didn't realize at first he was before Baker. 2:18- those aren't gorillas?

[@ezravanmelle4333]

Day of the Daleks was a cool concept (I swear this story and The War Machines combined were the inspiration for the Terminator). It was just let down by crappy FX and a limited number of Daleks with terrible voices. The Special Edition does an admirable job of fixing these hiccups, and is far more watchable.

[@Funem]

Only just found this channel, like the humor and videos. Where is the opening Doctor Who theme used in this video from, sounds like it was played on a banjo or Guitar.

[@Joey15811]

And monk trilogy, thin ice, knock knock, in forest of night, world enough and time/doctor falls (too many plot holes there), Doctor mysterio, anything with Danny Pink, the messy Dalek 2 parter Hell bent (sorry Capaldi, his era was crap).

I think you're being a bit generous with The Mutants. I found it extremely dull. I almost prefer the Time Monster, simply because it's a Unit story.

[@Joey15811]

This for me is the 2nd weakest classic who season. Day of the Daleks - Ok story but far from my favourites The Curse of Peladon- The Better of the Peladon stories and the Ice Warrior twist was great but the setting of Peladon I don’t engage with and I find just not my cup of tea in terms of keeping my interest The Sea Devils - Best of the Season but Horrendous music! The Mutants - Like colony in space, ankther lf the 4 worst pre Whittaker stories. The Time Monster - Messy but enjoyable fun.
