Welcome to the TARDIS | The Hand of Fear | Doctor Who

I always appreciated how The Doctor usually does his best to help even the worst of his enemies to correct their behavior before the hammer falls on them for good. That takes more guts than just wiping out everything out of fear.

[@karazor-el6085]

He does give his enemies the same opportunities to avert disaster as his allies. As much as he liked humanity, he hated the fact that humans tended to respond to the unknown with fear and hate, but he gave humanity all the chances it could get, too.

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

@@karazor-el6085 Yes, I appreciate his ire at humanity. He rarely shows much optimism for the activities of concentrations of humans, for a reason.

[@EzraYalanBenjamin]

He did give her a chance but at the same time I think he expected she wouldn’t take it. His main strategy of getting her away from Earth and perhaps marooning her on Castria was perhaps always in his mind. He’s a complicated character, especially in this incarnation.

[@brianartillery]

Juliet Paris was superb as Eldrad. And what a killer smile she has.

[@Shadowkey392]

Ah, yes! The TARDIS interior everyone forgets the Fourth Doctor has. I really do like the look of it.

[@delavalmilker]

This episode shows the unique and unusual "wooden Tardis" set and console. It was only used for a couple of episodes, unfortunately. It had a quirky sort of "Victorian" look to it.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

The hand rails kind of look like they inspired some of the design elements of the control room in "New Who".

[@dansmif]

@@TheNoiseySpectator If only Eldrad knew there would be hand rails, she could have saved all the trouble of regrowing the rest of her body 😂

Somebody needs to cosplay as Eldrad. MAKE IT HAPPEN NERDS.

[@Stephen-wc8fn]

Definitely sexy to my (then) teenage eyes. Right up there with Servalan.

[@mageofsin]

This, also the costume/makeup aged well

[@azurerainbow4637]

Sarah Jane felt very concerned when the Doctor told Eldrad that if she misset the coordinates that there wouldn't be a chance for them to land anywhere ever. Good that it didn't happen or Eldrad would ho crazy despite that her powers can't work while she's inside the TARDIS, which makes most weapons useless inside.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

Are! Tom Baker! The definitive Dr. Who and it's good to see Sarah Jane Smith as she was one of the best companions ever. It's a shame Elizabeth Sladen passed away as she did an excellent job as Sarah Jane, she is missed.

[@rnalamo47]

Among my favorite episodes with Sarah Jane are Pyramids of Mars, The Brain of Morbius, and Planet of Evil.I was fortunate to be able to take my daughters to see Tom Baker when he came to Boston in the early 1980's for a primarily Star Trekkers convention.

[@conorpm9009]

Heh, I just watched this story today (on the collection Blu-ray). Seeing Sarah Jane leave the Tardis still gave me the "feels" even now.

[@joeb6853]

RIP Elizabeth Sladen

[@lchambers56]

I was just thinking of this story arc and Eldrad not to long ago and now here's a clip in my KZbin feed. Weird, but welcome. I loved this show and Tom Baker when I was young. I was heartbroken to see him leave the show.

[@RedSiegfried]

Dammit, when Tom Baker tells me not to forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who youtube channel, I listen.

[@dirdib69]

The "temporal grace" thing gets tossed out later, though I guess you could argue that it is just broken.

[@AndrewChapman]

2:04 As usual, Sarah thinks the Doctor's gone BANANAS... so she decides to have a banana herself (🍌bananas are good🍌)

[@DeuceSchnozzle]

I enjoy watching Sarah eat a banana.

[@fernandochavez4312]

The best of the doctors, in my opinion. Thanks!

[@Squicx]

Bro!!! That transition with the blue eyes was way ahead of its time!

[@LordZontar]

Not really. That was standard CSO overlay. Judith Paris' eyelids were painted green or some other colour that would act as a screen. You don't see paint when her eyes are open of course. But when she's bringing her head up, she's got her eyes closed so the paint is picked up on camera. The blue glow in the "eyes" is projected via an A/B video mix which electronically mats it onto the paint spots. Doctor Who had been using CSO screen overlay from 1970 onward, ever since the show's switchover to colour. Fairly standard technology in television then.

[@nicholasmaude6906]

Eldred looks like something right out of Blake's Seven.

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Eldrad foxy. Her and The Rani really made me reconsider my dedication to Good vs Evil.

@John I grew up with Davison, Colin Baker and McCoy (but also having earlier docs in my collection on dvd) and think classic is SO much better than what we have today.However one thing that always confuses me is people who grew up with all the original Doctors then defending Dr Woke . It's like being given gold which is then exchanged for copper and arguing copper is just as good as gold. Tom was the best though no doubt in my mind.
