Jaggy Snake Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) It was an enjoyable episode and a pretty decent farewell. A few odd/annoying things: Dan leaving at the start of the episode. Even with him wanting to step back, Yaz still would have gone to get him again when she was rounding up people in the Tardis to help bring the Doctor back. Graham didn't need to be at the volcano. His wee group meeting at the end was nice and would have sufficed, even if it meant he didn't actually see the Doctor again. The Daleks didn't need to be in that episode at all. The timelordy Cybermen fitted the story perfectly but the Daleks were just there so they could be in the adverts/trailers. The traitor Dalek could have been an interesting story in itself (though just a repeat of Rusty) but was just swept aside instantly.

scottsdad Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Enjoyable, and a great twist at the end. Tennant will star in 3 episodes, airing in November 2023. I have been original Doctor Who with the kids. When all the cameos were coming in, my son said that they would not have any original companions. He assumed they were all dead. Then Ian popped up, the actor almost 100 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Thinking about the companions they didn't bring back. Obviously the ones whose actors are dead (e.g. Sarah-Jane, Victoria, Ben and Barbara) or who aren't on present-day Earth (e.g. Rose, Amy, Nyssa, Leela, Zoe and Jamie) but I didn't see Polly or Martha. Think they got just about everybody else though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ah yes, I think you're right. I should have remembered that better, War Games is my favourite ever story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Watched the first 3 episodes of The Keys of Marinus last night.

SGMilne Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It was only companions who would still be on modern day Earth. Which doesn't really explain Mel.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, basically a bunch of wee stories loosely tied together. Very much enjoying the old ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 If you're interested, there is a doctor Who exhibition running at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh from 9th December to 1st May. https://www.nms.ac.uk/exhibitions-events/exhibitions/national-museum-of-scotland/doctor-who-worlds-of-wonder/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Still going through the very early series. William Hartnell is excellent in his second series. Looking for mischief, quite a bit of humour. In The Romans, an assassin tried to kill him leading to a fairly (for DW) prolonged fight scene. When Vicki walked in and the fight ended, he ticked her off for ending his fun "in the art of fisticuffs". The Romans was just bonkers. Nero chasing Barbara around the halls, Ian as a slave..all fun. That said, the more I watch the more I like Barbara. You can keep Rose, Clara, Amy and all the new ones. She is far better than the lot. Susan has gone, thankfully. By the end her job was to be terrified and scream at everything. On The Web Planet now which is a more straightforward good vs evil story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Barbara is the GOAT, IMO. Brummie, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Vicki has a cute pet. Barbara takes a gun and blows it's brains out because it made a scary noise. Vicki is upset. The Doctor consoles her. "Well, child, I would have done the same thing. Now, don't you feel better?" Vicki is happy again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
