[@elliottnoad1270]

The beginning of the Cartmel Master Plan (proto-Timeless Child, in that like the Timeless Child would give some info about the Doctor which would generate more mystery) like how he said "we had problems with the prototype" rather than "they") as well as schemer McCoy Doctor (knowing what outcome he wanted + which 'chess pieces to move' before the story even began) both of which were mainly explored in the Expanded Universe during the 90s

[@djashley2002]

Hi Gals! As no one mentioned it last week (and I wasn't able to post), the Bernard and British Rocket Group mentioned in episode one refers directly to Quatermass, a classic BBC TV series of the 1950s which had a massive effect on the development of British Science Fiction for decades to come (the third serial "Quatermass and the Pit" is still well worth a look).

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

Was soooo excited for the Quatermass mention. ❤❤❤ (Maybe as a Doctor Who-adjacent thing to react to, one day they could react to the live remake of 'Quatermass Experiment' with David Tennant and Mark Gatiss -- I mean, I technically prefer the original Quatermass stuff, of course, but I still think the remake is fun. Plus, Tennant had just learned that he was cast as the new Doctor while making it, so Quatermass's first line to Tennant's character Dr. Briscoe was changed from "Good to have you back, Gordon" to "Good to have you back, Doctor" as a deliberate reference. ❤)

[@ihateunicorns867]

One important thing about Ace’s character is that her best friend/possibly girlfriend, Manesha, died in a racist firebomb attack on her flat. After that Ace went off the rails a bit, but it’s left her with a very little compassion for racists.

[@stevetheduck1425]

It's one of several things in this story. Most people who die, die because of an unguarded word, or an inflexible opinion. Sometimes they get chopped in the crossfire.

[@Skeezer66]

I know you can't have Everything, and it should have been with the first half, but one of my favorite scenes was The Doctor in the cafe, talking philosophy with the guy running the cafe. SO defining of this Doctor!! There are people who think Sylvester isn't a good Doctor, but for me, he is one of The Best!

[@shaunmale6566]

DOCTOR: Powerful. Crush the lesser races. Conquer the galaxy. Unimaginable power. Unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera. When he says this, it never fails to make me laugh. I'm really glad you reacted and enjoyed this episode, it is such a masterpiece. The 7th Doctor is amazing in it and Ace is just ace in this. Hope you both do meet Sylvester McCoy one day, he is such a lovely, funny and cheeky man lol. Loved both of your reactions and I'm looking forward to The Power of the Doctor. ALLONS'Y! 🤣🤣🤣👍💙💙

Ace and 7. What a great pair, I love them! Y'all should watch the TV Movie sometime, I love the TV Movie!

[@ghostsurfer23]

I've seen a handful of episodes from every classic Doctor, and I gotta say Seven is one of my absolute faves. He's got such fantastic humor to him while also adding a dark edge, and despite how RIDICULOUS that sounds on paper, he makes it work. A real prototype for the modern Doctors who can just turn on a dime and suddenly they're threatening to implode your whole world or trap you in a hell dimension. Good stuff. Please please pleeeeeeeease do the 90s movie. Wanted it since I first subscribed to this channel :P

[@RopeDrink]

It helps that he's also the most modern of the classic doctors - both literally and figuratively - and a lot of elements from 7+Ace's tenure were projected onto the revival. Ace is the currently the template for all modern companions, and the Doctor (7) is very alien and playful - but also dark, mysterious, and dangerous.

[@Eltonlaleham]

One of the Dalek voice artists is Brian Miller he was married to Liz Sladen until she passed away. The reveal the battle computer was the little girl Jemima was a shock

[@AubreySciFi]

The headmaster, who was under the control of the imperial Daleks, was played by Michael Sheard. This was his final appearance on the show. His 5th appearance since 1966, when he played a physician in Hartnell's 3rd season story "The Ark"!

[@OldManFerdiad]

I've been waiting for this all week and I'm so glad you both enjoyed it. I think this is my favourite McCoy story, tied with Curse of Fenric. Prof Rachel Jensen is a great character and I love the scene where she tears a strip off Gilmore in the cafe. Aaronovich fills this story with great side characters and lot of nuance: there's commentary on race, slavery, empire, nazis, homegrown right wing extremists and how women's place in society was changing in the sixties. Jensen visually is styled like the Barbara Wright and has echoes of Liz Shaw (who was also drafted in from Cambridge to be a scientific advisor). There was quite a bit of fan conversation contrasting Tom Baker's fourth Doctor's "have I the right?" speech in Genesis of the Daleks to McCoy nuking the Daleks and blowing up Skaro here. There's also the speculation that the events of both of those stories could imply that it was the Time Lords that started the Time War.

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

Essentially, they started the Time War by sending the Doctor to Skaro in Genesis to mess with the Dalek's creation in the first place!

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

I think RTD is on record that both this story and the events of 'Genesis of the Daleks' are the beginnings of the Time War. Which definitely makes sense in a nice retroactive storytelling way. 😀

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

@@NicoleM_radiantbaby Ah cool, I hadn't heard that. It does make perfect sense though.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Starting the Time War: there's a Marvel UK comic strip (in 'Daredevils magazine) drawn by Lloyd (later drew V for Vendetta), in which the Time Lords are setting up their station and time devices around a black hole-to-be to become the Lords of Time, and time agents start to pop up, kill people and try to explode the Time Lords right at the start of their existence. The rival power, the 'Black Sun League' appear to be DC comics' Green Lantern Corps, and the 'later to appear in Excalibur comic' Gatecrasher's Technet make a first appearance. Both Marvel Universe and an expy of DC universe appear, as does Omega (and a couple of other Time Lords working on the project). As a collectible, this issue contains a number of unique and later highly relevant details about Doctor Who. Partly because the guys making Doctor Who from 2005 had all read the comics and the novels that continued the story. They wrote several of them, too.

[@OldManFerdiad]

[@noahrobin1941]

I’d you haven’t read the novelization of this episode, I think it’s worth reading. Teen-me read a /lot/ of the novelizations and Remembrance is the only one I have any memory of. It was written by the same person who wrote the script, and goes into a little more detail on a couple of things. Nothing earth-shattering, but it stuck with me.

[@jeffgalus8454]

I remember when those plasma spheres came out. It was all rage in the late 80s and early 90s

[@ihateunicorns867]

It's important to remember that while we all know what those are now, back when this was broadcast, they were fairly unheard of and so they made a perfectly serviceable 'time controller'.

[@ihateunicorns867]

@@NicoleM_radiantbaby I was thinking exactly the same thing.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

I still can't believe Michael Grade pulled the plug on Sylvester and Ace , despite the cuts they were a big improvement . This was probably their best , the Special weapons Dalek capturing quite a few schoolboy imaginations . If only they had some of the budget of the new wave of sci - fi films at the time . Still , absence made the heart grow fonder and despite the tv movie inbetween , the revamped show when it returned brought a lot of joy , and was very much a Labour of love to many involved . I remember Billie Piper on a DVD feature bemused by all the grown men weeping at the sight of a new Dalek. Only one more and Paula will be up to date , certainly this one was a good choice to watch first ..

[@whobp8]

It was actually Jonathan Powell, Grade's successor as BBC Controller, in conjunction with Head of Series Peter Cregeen, who pulled the plug on the series. Grade had moved over to a new job at Channel Four nearly nine months before Remembrance was broadcast.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

You may be factually correct , after his criticism of the show , I seem to remember a brief surge of optimism when he moved on but to no avail .

[@makasete30]

I remember reading an interview with Slyvester many years back saying how disappointed he was and that there was still so much potential for the series. I loved it as a kid and I couldn’t understand at the time why it stopped.

[@aquilanusUK]

7:25 Ah, the Special Weapons Dalek. The novel goes into so much detail about that one. Also, that explosion caused the Police in London to assume it was an irl terrorist attack (it was the 80s and the IRA were still very active at the time). The amount of explosive they used for that shot was way too high and blew out windows for quite a distance around that area. Cost the BBC a lot of money to deal with xDD

[@aquilanusUK]

6:05 Paula's reaction to Ace's blunt retort to Mike. She didn't mince words when it came to bigots xD

[@smiddlehurst1]

I think it's worth expanding on that last bit. The BBC apparently weren't exactly on the ball when it came to notifying the powers that be what they were up to which led to some, uh, confusion. One of the shots of the Dalek battles saw explosives go off under an old railway arch. Not only did that kick up the usual smoke and debris but it also loosened god knows how many years of soot from the old steam trains that had caked the archway. The street ends up covered in a very slowly clearing mix of soot and smoke. All the cameras are set up some distance away (note the fairly high angles for some of the shots in the episode) to keep clear views and stay out of the big dramatic wide shots. An ambulance crew pull up unsure of what's going on but primed for the worst. Whereupon several Daleks, seemingly alone with no production visible, roll out of the murk..... The reaction of the ambulance crew is unrecorded but (assuming this happened and isn't just a tall tale of course) I can only imagine a change of underwear was involved!

[@stephenhumphreys9149]

I heard that they had informed the police that they were going to set off explosions, but hadn't thought to tell the other emergency services. So the Fire Brigade got a lot of panicked calls that they rushed to deal with...

[@whobp8]

"The last Who ..." for now. As the Ood in The End of Time Part Two observed, "This song is ending, but the story never ends." Really enjoyed your reaction to Remembrance, one of the finest Doctor Who stories ever. During the final battle between the two Dalek factions, the pyrotechnics were so loud and so realistic (they set off every car alarm in the immediate area) that the Fire Department were called by local residents who were afraid an IRA bomb had gone off.

[@AlmightyCRJ]

It was an anniversary of an IRA attack & production had neglected to inform the police station of them planning to blow up the Daleks.

[@ihateunicorns867]

Yes to Curse of Fenric. It's such a good story. And Yes to the special edition. It's kind of essential. The story doesn't actually make complete sense in its broadcast version. It's more than just a 'better effects' special edition, it's the only coherent cut of the the story.

[@DaleRibbons]

The Dalek claw was a callback to the first Daleks story. One scene showed a Dalek out of its case but covered by a sheet. All you saw sticking out was the claw. I still remember when I went into the Sharper Image store at the mall and saw a Dalek Time Controller. :-) The absence of the Tardis in much of Sylvester's run was actually due to the discovery of asbestos in the BBC studios.

[@stevetheduck1425]

The TARDIS appears in this story, much as it does in the others, but only as a prop standing in the street or wherever.

Lovin' that you're loving Seven and Ace. A great pairing to - if it had to happen - ending Classic Who.

Enjoy what's still to come: I can't wait to see what Ncuti has to bring... (Loved him in "Sex Education").

[@radicaladz]

11:07 - according to TV Tropes, if you look closely at Ace's jacket, and you can spot (among other things) a Watchmen pin, two Rupert Bear pictures, several Blue Peter decorations, a Gerry Anderson fan club membership button, and a Thunderbirds patch. Many of these actually belonged to Sophie Aldred. So my guess is it's a Watchmen pin.

[@jeffgalus8454]

I loved the McCoy's Doctor

[@jamesgorman7417]

Both Michael Grade (Controller Of BBC1 and then Director Of BBC Programmes), Jonathan Powell (Head Of BBC Drama and then Controller Of BBC1) told the production team that the series would be reduced to 14 x 25 minute episodes. The budget wasn’t reduced at all. It increased to 1% per Season. The reason there are fewer TARDIS scenes in the McCoy Era because Andrew Cartmel thought it slowed the pace of the story.

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

In 'End of Time' when the Tenth Doctor says to Wilf: 'It's not like I'm an innocent. I've taken lives. I got worse. I got clever. Manipulated people into taking their own', I always think of the dark, chess-master Seventh Doctor. (Which, I kinda love a Dark Doctor, so...)❤ (Also, IMO, the Seventh Doctor DID have a reaction to destroying Skaro, it was just a dark intentional reaction, where he meant to trick them into hurting themselves -- not remorse. With Jodie's Doctor, it never feels intentional, she doesn't feel sad/remorseful or vindicated/successful....she just doesn't seem have ANY sort of reaction at all? Like nothing happened. I don't know, maybe it's me, but that feels very different to what the Seventh Doctor did in this story. But obvs, YMMV.)

The Doctor/Ace Stories are SOOOOOO Good!

[@trevorbreedon4565]

Sylvester McCoy is one of the best doctors and Ace is without doubt one of the best companions. They were only let down by the investment in the series, as it wound down.

[@Concreteowl]

The very first daleks had claws. So I think the design of the Imperial Daleks is meant to reconcile that with the cephalopod look to the mutants elsewhere.

[@andrewpragasam]

So when it originally wider the conclusion to Remembrance was heavily criticised by fans for having Sylvester McCoy's Doctor 'casually' wild out Skaro. By comparison with Tom Baker agonising over his moral right to wipe out the Daleks. I've always interpreted the Doctor's change in attitude to his simply sick of all the death and destruction left in their wake. I don't really have a problem with the ending, but what do you Gallifrey Gals think?

[@johnlarro6872]

For many years Remembrance was considered probably a top 3 story of all of the classic era, topped most polls that were done during the 80s and 90s... and with good reason - it IS one of the best, ever! Yes, Sylvester's Doctor got a lot of hate... maybe more than other Doctors, maybe not. I think a lot of that fell on his first season, which was not written for his character. Once they got into their groove, he hit a lot of goals, despite being quite a "different" Doctor to those we'd seen before. And yes - the budgets were cut again and again, time slots moved, formats changed... as soon as Tom left, basically, the BBC Execs wanted WHO to be outsourced, and tried their hardest to kill it off. The episode count fell several times, with Sylvester only getting 14 x 25min episodes for each of his 3 seasons, or equiv to 7 modern episodes. Love the reveal of the girl, and Davros - both of your reactions were great. :)

[@bananasaregood8655]

This is considered the best mccoy story, and it's easy to see why. When you are caught up on new who are you going to react to classic who in order or just a story from each doctor at a time like you have been doing? shame the 7th doctor's era was so short, 3 seasons but only 4 stories in each. Love the 7th doctor and ace, one of the best tardis duos.

[@Jamestopboy]

The fact that the Doctor considers "unlimited rice pudding" to be one of the crimes of the universe is hilarious. What has rice pudding ever done to him?

[@stevetheduck1425]

Crooked and tyrannical (that is, normal) political creatures tend to promise such things. There's the famous 'do you want guns or butter?' Worth looking up.

[@RopeDrink]

He didn't say it was a crime. He's saying: "Now that you're all-powerful, you can crush the lesser races, conquer the galaxy, and enjoy unimaginable power, unlimited rice pudding, etc". In short, 7 is listing all the things that he assumes Davros will do with his newfound power, with unlimited rice pudding being a sarcastic/jokey cherry on top.

[@jeffgalus8454]

Fun Fact: When that gate exploded. It set off every car alarms in a ten block radius

The Curse of Fenric is also great. The movie edit is the best.

[@penfold7455]

Some suggestions for something else to react to once you get caught up with NuWho and/or "Star Trek: TNG" : - Maybe check out more Classic Who stories, but focus on those First and Second Doctor stories that only had surviving audio and possibly one complete live action episode that still existed, and which have since been animated (for instance, my recommendation would be the Second Doctor's first story "Power of the Daleks" - "Blake's 7" ; a neat sci -fi show from between 1978 and 1981 that was kind of a precursor to "Firefly" in a way; it's also one of those shows where they had first actors on it that you see and go "Oh wow! It's THAT guy/gal!" - "Red Dwarf" : I've already recommended this in another video's Comments section. I just think you two would enjoy a great sci-fi show that was also a hilarious comedy.

[@simonbeaird7436]

For more Gilmore, Rachel and Alison, listen to 'Countermeasures' audio series by Big Finish.

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

I can only guess that those who didn't like Sylvester Mccoy's Doctor just gave up after Series 24; or they were upset about how shabbily Colin Baker was treated. McCoy himself said that when a new Doctor is cast, it's like trying to turn around a battleship. That's because they don't know how the new Doctor's personality should best fit the new actor and the old scripts that are left over are written for the previous Doctor. In my opinion, although Series 24 starts out at a low point, each story gets better and better until it reaches 'Remembrance of the Daleks.' By that time, Sylvester Mccoy's Doctor has become everything that we've come to love. Great story, and watching your reactions to it made it enjoyable on a whole new level! Nice work!

[@Skeezer66]

I've heard from people who don't like McCoy''s Doctor because he's too agenda driven, instead of seemingly being a 'hobo in space'. I LOVE that after 6 other versions, his was the most chess grandmaster version, it gave the show a fresh direction!

[@NicoleM_radiantbaby]

They also had to get Sylvester past the clunky Pip and Jane Baker story that started him off, writers who -- according to Cartmel -- were basically 'grandfathered in' at that point. After that, Cartmel cleared the decks and brought in all new and fresh writers (even Cartmel himself was around 28 years old). And I think that worked wonders for the show. ❤

[@MeleeHellBot]

The destruction of Skaro, one of the many "first shots" that made the Daleks declare war on the Timelords and thus began the last great Time War.

[@therealpbristow]

Although they already had a plan to conquer Gallifrey back in "Resurrection of the Daleks". (Man, that was a convoluted story! Excellent in many ways, but *so* many threads to it that their smug little "oh, and after we've finished up here we're going to conquer your home world, Doctor" gets forgotten!). So while it's definitely the Time Lords who fire first in "Genesis", the Daleks have already tried to fire back.

I always liked Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor. I just didn't like the stories. The writing wasn't up to par, with the major exception being Remembrance of the Daleks.

Quite a lot of stories had good writing. The problem was execution - because the stories were often too ambitious for their own budget. Remembrance has a simple plot, great pacing, lots of action, throwbacks, and overshot its budget. Objectively, it's the best bridge between New and Classic, and a testament to what we could have expected if the BBC didn't hate their own show so much - but it was not a sole exception in terms of writing.
