the original premise of the show in the 60s was that the doctor couldn’t fly the tardis accurately, his first companions got stuck with him and couldn’t get back to their own time. They were lost at sea in all of time and space basically showing up to different places randomly. At this point in the timeline he’s still not a perfect driver lol which is why sometimes he shows up 12 months later than when he wanted to go

UNIT was first introduced in 1968, then led by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Kate's father), and was a regular presence well into the 1970s. The mention of the Doctor working for UNIT was specifically in reference to a time when the 3rd Doctor was literally employed as their scientific advisor for a few years. At this point, Kate was a character who only existed in unofficial spin-off media, though of course you know she'll turn up at some point.

Yep, it was a mirrored shot as they shot two takes destroying a sculpted Big Ben but first shot they didn’t like and the second shot was good but when it came to post production they realised the shot had to be flipped because of the angle the spaceship was shown to be approaching at in the shot before. Also if you look at the shot of Big Ben gets smashed, just after getting hit you can see there’s no walls on one side and at the back of it, due to the sculpt they built only had two sides

You're very much correct saying The Doctor needs a companion. Until New Who (I wont say when) there had been only one story in which the Doctor didn't have a companion. It was a story way back in the Fourth Doctor's time, a story called The Deadly Assassin, the story set between Sarah Jane Smith leaving and Leela coming on board.

In "The End of the World," the Moxx of Balhoon said, "Indubitably, this is the Bad Wolf scenario" at one point. The line goes by quickly in the background, so it's easy to miss. (On the original DVD release, the closed caption incorrectly read "bad move scenario"!) Because TV series, like movies, are usually filmed out of narrative order, this episode and the following one were recorded alongside "Rose," with the two intervening episodes coming later in production. Dr. Sato autopsying the pig alien was the first scene ever shot for New Who, and the Doctor chasing the alien was the first scene Christopher Eccleston shot for the series. "Aliens of London" was the 700th episode of "Doctor Who."

Just going by the TARDIS about it being a sentinel being that depends on the mood of the writers some treat it like it's just an ordinary machine some treat it like it's a living thing as the Doctor always calls the TARDIS a "she'" like Captain Kirk would call the enterprise a "she" or a man with his sports car. In Classic Who it was always a spaceship that travels although there were hints of it being alive but they never really went too deep into it. Don't expect Kate Lethbridge-Stewart anytime soon she doesn't show up until much, much later on in the series. The Doctor use to work for UNIT as a scientific advisor during his third incarnation when the Time Lords exiled him to earth and was not aloud to travel in time and space because of his interference with the affairs of other planets and time and a forced regeneration which is one of the reasons why he can't take Rose back to a point when they first left off because it has now become a fixed point in time. Despite this being a family show although I do find the slitheen an interesting race I do find the farting abit too juvenile.

You've finally met Harriet Jones, MP for Flydale North! Also, UNIT's first appearance in the 2005 series. As the Doctor mentions here, he has worked with them before, with UNIT being a mainstay of the classic series, particularly for the 3rd and 4th Doctors (4 is the one who briefly appeared via flashback in "Empire of Death"). Although you have a LOT of New Who to watch, I do hope you'll consider reviewing the classic series when you eventually finish!

Remember the TARDIS is sentient. Sometimes it takes the Doctor where he needs to be rather than where he wants to be. Harriet Jones is a riot with her ID and constituency-she’s a keeper! Good catch with the “Bad Wolf”. What’s it about? Spoilers. Note Micky didn’t flinch about being inside the TARDIS this time. And Jackie didn’t even ask a question. Others provided the background about the Doctor and UNIT. I’ve made this suggestion to other DW reactors, here’s your turn: whether you react to them or not you might consider watching the first episode of each Doctor (1-7) to get a taste of Old Who. Note that in those days the stories were structured as shorter, multipart segments so an entire episode might consist of 4-6 fifteen-twenty minute segments, all under the same name. So, for example, season 1 #1 is “An Unearthly Child”. Season 4, #1 is “Robot”. Every Doctor (except possibly 2) should be available. Anyway, if you wanted, say, a special Saturday project or some such. Just realize production values were way below those of New Who, and effects were barely out of their infancy.

@@anthonybernacchi2732 You mean, “cartooned.” For those reading along, the BBC didn’t keep the early recordings of Doctor Who. They recycled & reused the (granted, expensive) master & distribution tapes. Consequently some of the early episodes, mainly Doctors 1-4, are forever lost-though the more recent the Doctor, the more complete the library. The BBC attempted a reconstruction by doing a world-wide check of distribution sites for “inadvertently unreturned copies” and got some that way. They then went to the fan base with a plea for any home recordings to be turned in so they could do their best at reconstruction. Apparently a few came back further filling some gaps-but gaps remained. In some cases there are incomplete episodes (there’s a particularly egregious example with Doctor 4 involving the Rani). Some segments intact, some missing. BUT the BBC had the screenplays. So their imperfect solution was to animate, in serious cartoon style, the missing segments & episodes using the likenesses from the intact episodes. For those of us who saw the originals long ago, it is… unsatisfactory to be polite. I know it’s a dirty word for some but perhaps an AI reconstruction would be an interesting-perhaps fruitful-experiment. I don’t blame the Beeb for resorting to this reconstruction; I absolutely *do* for cheapness and thoughtlessness over an acknowledged hit. It is bafflingly stupid. But absent a TARDIS to go back in time and fix this… 🤷‍♂️

Doctor Who has a notoriously difficult production schedule to fit 13 episodes in each year. That's why there's often big gaps between seasons/series, including an entire year between 2 Christmas specials with nothing in between in later years. RTD has said that in order to avoid these kinds of long gaps in the future, he'll instead be producing 8 episode seasons, plus a Christmas special every year. He did also promise that there will be more spin off material to fill in that time.

@@PaulRichards-vz4pl Not arguing with your choices or feelings (that would be absurd), but just by way of comparison as I watched New Who-starting off as a Tom Baker (#4) fan-my reactions were… I really liked Cristopher Eccleston. Was pissed that he was being replaced and was certain the new Doctor was gonna be awful. Then I met David Tennant. By the time the special ended The King was Dead, Long Live the King! Tennant was perfect. Four years later (or was it five?) a young Matt Smith pops his head out of the TARDIS. So different in certain ways-but utterly charming. Both more alien and more (dare I say it) human than any previous Doctor. Then the Christmas miracle. The Doctor regenerates into the Capaldi doc. No like. Admirable acting-off the scales good. But not *my* idea of what the Doctor was or how he behaved. Rigidly controlled goofy. Freeze dried insecurity wrapped in arrogance. How you got from Smith to Capaldi is beyond me. It got a little better but… (I’d need to go into details & that’s full on spoilers). I’m Moving on to Jodie W. Yes some of the writing was lacking; some of it was actually damn good too. I hated her accent-as an American it was painfully hard to understand and I’m used to listening to Brits speaking as I’m a regular consumer of BBC mystery programs. What disturbed me more is the Doctor is supremely competent-s/he might need to learn or acquire something to solve a problem but once the ducks are lined up They Will Quack! Jodi’s Doctor ran hot & cold-sometimes super-competent and sometimes tentative. That didn’t sit well. There was a critical lack of cyber-competence towards the end. On the radioactive issue of the Timeless Child I actually think it was a brilliant twist and opens up an entire line of Who explorations that beats e-space with thruster stick! RTD says he’s accepted it as canon so…

@@PaulRichards-vz4pl I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen all of the episodes, though I started watching early during Tom Baker’s tenure. Bless PBS, they procured & aired the previous three Doctor’s shows and aired them after the (by US custom) short season had ended. Even have a bunch on DVD. But to your statement: it’s how I feel, full stop. I could dissect it; I don’t reject Capaldi as an incarnation of the Doctor as some people have done with Whittaker (and might be doing with Gatwa). And as I’ve already noted I have only the highest praise for Capaldi the actor. The “alienness” of the Doctor comes from several factors in combination-not a secret tail of fire he whips out when angry or excited… (oh, right, he sublimated that into a screwdriver. Joking people!) It’s being a proper super-genius with hundreds of years of experience & memory to draw upon-and thousands of years of unremembered experience floating around in his subconscious; the richness & history of timelord culture & traditions; having & living with the kind of psychic abilities that he had to exercise (ruthlessly) at the end of Season 4. And just as important, having that kind of ability, NOT using it most of the time. Plus, personally, he’s alienated, he’s a benign rebel, and he’s alone. His companions provide a distraction, sometimes take the edge off but fundamentally he’s still alone. Hardly a complete list but to my mind that’s what makes him an alien. Eccleston showed it but through his veneer of anger. Tenant showed it but he was healing. Smith had reconciled, sacrificed, withdrew until someone Impossible came along. Capaldi felt out of place. Like he shouldn’t be there, and wasn’t sure he wanted to be. But not just in one spectacularly good final episode, throughout his tenure. In the end, it’s just my opinion I expressed-worth no more or less than any other fan that has actually devoted attention span to watching the show. Even where I differ I respect other views, even listen (read) with interest-as I have with your take on Capaldi. I don’t think you can hold RTD entirely to blame. Remember, Moffat not only authored several shows during RTD’s run-including every River Song episode produced-he took over as show runner following Tenant’s exit so you can’t blame RTD for Matt Smith’s portrayal. If blame is the correct word… 😉 You know, we really need a blue police box emoticon-don’t you think?

@@joerosenman3480 Peter Capaldi felt to me to be the only one who truly was in character whilst the other Doctors felt unlike Classic Doctors. This is because Peter Capaldi didn’t want the Doctor flirting with humans as it would be inappropriate. The Doctors mind is on a higher level than humans and then there’s the age factor and not to mention the difference in species. Peter Capaldi is probably the best actor we’ve ever had in the role even though I’d say only half his stories were great the other half being average with some poor ones. Tennant and Matt to me felt too hyper and with Tennant he was way too OTT. Then there’s the flirting which Classic Doctors would never ever do. I blame the TV movie for making the Doctor more human and definitely RTD with Tennant’s Doctor. The face pulling and fake cockney accent really grated on me with the annoying g catchphrases. I don’t understand why people like Tennant. Peter Capaldi got hate because he was older and the ageism of fans was sadly there along with new Who fans who hadn’t seen Classic Who and so didn’t understand that Capaldi was channelling the authentic version of the Doctor. I’m not keen on RTD. I hate his version. He has to bring too much fantasy and soap opera elements into the show.

The easiest way to think of it is that the TARDIS doesn't always take the Doctor where he wants to go, but it always takes him where he NEEDS to go. And don't expect to see Kate Lethbridge-Stewart for a LONG time. I'm talking like 8 or 9 seasons. They mention her dad the Brigadier several times though (I think they did so in this episode), so keep your eyes/ears out for that. :)
