Spearhead was shot entirely on film and almost entirely on location because of a strike at the studios.

Davros1 posted:BF did a three audios which had 7 with Jo, 6 with Jamie & Zoe, and 5 with Steven & Vicki. Yeah, and I've heard some of those. I'm thinking more history altering, like the Doctor is shot by a Kaled in the middle of Genesis of the Daleks and turns into Peter Davison, who has to finish out the episode, confront Davros, and decide if he has that right, while hanging with Harry Sullivan. Then meeting up with Sarah Jane at the end and they go off for new adventures together.

Bicyclops posted:On a rewatch, the more subtle way of portraying the Time Lords as xenophobic, detached traditionalists in The War Games is unquestionably the better way to do it, and the Silly Hats Cartoonish Moron Squad of literally every other depiction of them afterward is just regrettable. I quite liked how they show up in Terror of the Autons. Just a dapper chap in a bowler hat blithely informing the Doctor his nemesis has arrived before disappearing.

I haven't seen much of classic who, but i have seen some of the serials with 2, jamie and zoe and it's usually good stuff. Makes it extra annoying how modern who is always doctor & girl from modern england. Allthough season 10 was pretty good with nardol thrown into the mix.

My favourite TARDIS composition is one relatively 'normal' companion (a human from the present or past, like Bill, Ace, Jamie) and one who is either from the far future or an alien and isn't all that impressed with the Doctor in general (Nardole, Captain Jack, Zoe). I think I will watch Tomb of the Cybermen again today.

Tomb has one of my favorite exchanges of dialogue in the entire series, original and revival: Klieg: He's fortunate, I spared him Jamie: You mean you missed him

Let's not forget: Doctor: Now there is a distinct element of risk in what I'm asking you all to do, so if anyone wishes to leave they must do so at once. Jamie starts to leave Doctor: Not you, Jamie.

I love the stories of how insane of a director Morris Berry was. He had a layout of where he wanted the cameras in relation to the sets, and when he got there, and they didn't match, instead of moving his cameras, he kept the cameras in the same place and had the crew rearrange the set.

Watching the original Doctor Who and the Silurians. Early Pertwee era is really good so far. I was trying to place where I had seen Geoffrey Palmer's bullfrog cheeks before, and it was like "Oh, yeah, James Bond, A Fish Called Wanda, Inspector Morse... no, none of those feel right..." Of course it's that he's the captain in on the Space Titanic episode.

Imagine if all the Doctors had been cast in different orders after Hartnell and the Fourth Doctor was played between 1980 and 1985 by beardy Patrick Troughton from The Box of Delights.

Holy poo poo, that latest short trip with Susan  She's basically living by herself in Coal Hill school, which has since been converted into flats, working as a techie converting all the Dalek technology after their invasion to be able to be used by humans. Strange poo poo goes downs with some of the tech, there's a world-destroying asteroid inbound, and the world is invaded by giant spiders. It's set up by the Doctor, to distract her, because she's getting call-up papers from Gallifrey to fight in the Time War, and he's stealing them when they arrive so she doesn't recieve them.

He was my first Doctor, so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for his era. It doesn't hurt that a lot of his era loving ruled too! Yeah there were too many 6-parters (and at least one 8-parter from memory?) and if you watch them back-to-back the plotting issues and recycled scenarios become more obvious, but it's still a really charming and fun time in the show's history.

"We need to find a new direction for the Doctor." "It's 1970 and we're stuck in the 60s. We need something up to date, something modern." "What are Grade and his lot doing?"  "Brilliant!"

I want more Doctor Who design by telephone. Rewatching The Curse of Peladon is kind of interesting right now in the context of all the Brexit stuff. It's weird to see echoes of the arguments from forty-five years ago suddenly resonate again. Well, weird and a little depressing. Plus it's always good for David Troughton to show up. The menagerie of aliens feel like the muppet version of the crew who watch the sun explode early in Nine's run. I like that they bring the Ice Warriors back to sort of make us not trust them, and then have the Doctor win them over in the end.
