I was twelve years old when this was broadcast in 1988, and the special weapons dalek was one of the coolest things I'd seen at the time. I wish they'd have brought it back properly for the new series.

2024-10-22 12:24:55 +0000 UTCI was just leaving primary school when we went decimal. Our age group had been taught pounds, shillings and pence and then we were given this little book called 'Sums With the New Money' - which I still have - which had the new coins in transparent pouches in the back. Of course we spent the money! My family owned a post office and shop, so we were already familiarizing with the change. Mind you, we got the same accusations from customers as everyone else did. People interrogating us about the new prices. Some items carried both old and new currency prices for a while, so we were guarded against accusations of diddling the purchasers of the produce. Not to say that some fiddling didn't go one during the process of the switchover in the UK. it most certainly did!

2023-02-24 21:10:34 +0000 UTCI'm not familiar with the details, except that it was going to be an episode before it was developed into a novel, so I accept your correction.

2023-01-28 07:16:33 +0000 UTCI'll be honest, Colin's my favourite. I think a lot of his TV stuff is seriously underatted. Except The Twin Dilema. That can fuck right off. 6 and 8 are actually both my favourite on Big Finish too. Having said that - I like all the incarnations in whatever medium BUT I certainly have a soft spot for those two. Probably because they're so maglined. Not a fan of the TV movie though...

2023-01-28 05:47:33 +0000 UTCGreat summary but as far as I'm aware Lungbarrow actually started off in script form for season 26 and was rejected by JNT. Elements of it were then rewritten and reincoparted into Ghost Light before the novel was later completed and published. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungbarrow?wprov=sfla1

2023-01-28 05:43:16 +0000 UTCTom Baker was the Doctor from 1974 until 1981 and in all that time he used the sonic maybe what, 10 to 15 times? Jon Pertwee's Doctor loved his gadgets but even his use of the sonic throughout his 1970-74 tenure were relatively few and far in between.

2023-01-27 13:01:16 +0000 UTCThe explosions for the Dalek vs Dalek battle drew the attention of the police, who thought that there may have been a terrorist attack by the IRA! The use of a plasma ball for the Time Controller worked fine at the time, but within several years of the episode, everybody knew what they were. :D Remembrance of the Daleks is probably Sylvester at his coolest. If we'd really never seen the Daleks again, it would have been a great final story for them!

2023-01-27 07:42:24 +0000 UTCPoor Colin B and Paul McG always get short shrift, mainly I think because of the crappy writing and brief tenure on film. But their Big Finish audio adventures are among the very best of that medium, and taking that into account in always rank them higher. Mind you, I tend not to do actual rankings or favorites, as for me every Doctor is THE Doctor, worthy in their own right for their own reasons (though I admit Tom Baker has a special place in my heart, having grown up in the 70s with his Doctor).

2023-01-27 07:10:28 +0000 UTCI would rank the Seventh Doctor as my second favorite Classic Who Doctor, after Tom Baker’s Fourth. Overall rankings (leaving the War Doctor, 12, and 13 out due to not seeing enough of their shows): 11, 4, 10, 7, 9, 3, 5, 2, 1, 8, and 6.

2023-01-27 05:20:41 +0000 UTCIn Aus we switched to a decimal currency from pounds-shillings-pence to dollars and cents before the British in 1966 (and thankfully ignored the Anglophile/Royalist PM of the day, who wanted to call the currency unit the Royal, which would have been just embarrassing). And then full metric weights and measures in 74. I don’t get why some countries still insist on using imperial measurements when metric is so damn logical!

2023-01-27 04:58:15 +0000 UTCThis was a real blast, and so glad you got to it before PotD (for obvious reasons). I really do hope you spend time going through a good proportion of Classic Who, at the very least between now and this year’s 60th specials.

2023-01-27 04:42:26 +0000 UTCYay! Another sonic sunglasses fan! I thought I was the only one! ❤️
Nicole Mazza
2023-01-27 04:27:13 +0000 UTCTotally agree. The sonic is used even more now, and can do almost anything. I far prefer it when the Doctor is using their wits and intelligence, and tinkering to mock up some gadget for a specific purpose (usually out of old tech), than simply falling back on a “magic wand”. When first introduced by the second Doctor it did just what the name said - undid screws, and maybe the odd lock. This is also why I liked the sonic sunglasses, which were fragile (queue Viking snapping them in two), and were used much less (and Capaldi looks cool in them). I do hope there’s less reliance on the sonic in future.

2023-01-27 04:18:44 +0000 UTCDoctor Who, 80s music. I am in my happy place. :)

2023-01-27 03:37:50 +0000 UTCThe sonic screwdriver pretty much disappears from use (at least on camera) with the Fifth Doctor story 'The Visitation' and we don't see it again until you briefly see the Doctor's belongings in the TV Movie and, in use, with the Ninth Doctor. It was considered to be overused, so the production team cut it out back in the day. (Sadly, I think it's becoming overused again, but whatevs).
Nicole Mazza
2023-01-27 00:02:30 +0000 UTCI don't think it would have been that difficult for people to get used to euros. It's just another decimal currency, divided into 100 cents rather than pence. Not that I think it would necessarily have been a good idea to adopt the euro (and I wish we hadn't left the EU).

2023-01-26 23:59:07 +0000 UTCSome notes: —The Seventh Doctor did not have a sonic screwdriver. During the Fifth Doctor era, producer John Nathan-Turner felt writers were over-relying on it, so he had it get destroyed in one story. From then until the end of Classic, it did not reappear. (The Seventh Doctor had it at the start of the US TV movie.) —A blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit of dialogue in the episode, which the Gallifrey Gals didn't notice because you have to already know the lore for it to mean anything, is when Rachel and her assistant mention calling the British Rocket Group for help, and Rachel says "Bernard's got his own problems." This is a reference to Bernard Quatermass, hero of a number of BBC science fiction serials in the 50s. Quatermass was head of the British Rocket Group and encountered alien invasions in stories considered directly ancestral to Doctor Who. —The passing mention by the Doctor that "we" had trouble with the prototype of the Hand of Omega is a rare onscreen appearance of what fans have come to call "The Cartmel Masterplan." 7th Doctor script editor Andrew Cartmel thought too much of the Doctor's backstory had become clear and he wanted to reintroduce some mystery to the character. He devised a backstory that, if it had ever been clearly stated on screen, would have been as controversial among fans as the Timeless Child ended up being. It was due to be revealed in a script that had been commissioned for the next season, called "Lungbarrow," but the cancellation prevented it. Lungbarrow was eventually developed into a tie-in novel by Marc Platt, revealing the contents of the Cartmel plan. The backstory (oversimplified) is that a benevolent, incorporeal being called "The Other" has been guiding Time Lord society throughout all their history, letting itself be "born" as a Time Lord (it's not birth, Lungbarrow shows Time Lords reproduce a different way, but that's a separate story), living out that Time Lord's life, and then becoming a new Time Lord after its previous host finally dies. The Doctor is The Other's latest incarnation. It's like a series of meta-regenerations encompassing a series of ordinary multi-regeneration Time Lord lives. At the time Lungbarrow was published, heated fan debates erupted over whether it was canonical or not. But since then, the new series has definitively contradicted a number of its elements— and for better or worse, the Timeless Child, while borrowing certain elements of The Other, pretty much rules it out— so if it ever was canonical in Dr Who's ever-shifting continuity, it isn't any more.

2023-01-26 23:32:07 +0000 UTCAlso, totally here for Special Weapons Dalek! He's my fave! ❤️ (He shows up briefly again later in the new series in 'Asylum of the Daleks', but I wish we saw more of him)
Nicole Mazza
2023-01-26 22:23:37 +0000 UTCAlso, you don't see him in this story, but Omega (from where we get the 'Hand of Omega') is a Time Lord you see a few times in the Classic series. As the Doctor says here, he's very well-known in Gallifreyan society/mythology because he -- like Rassilon -- are a big part of why the Time Lords can time travel in the first place. Well, at least until the whole Timeless Child re-write. But anyway, to be honest, Omega is one of my all-time fave characters in the series. Hopefully you guys will see him in a story sometime. ❤️

2023-01-26 22:13:54 +0000 UTCOooh, can't wait to watch this reaction! UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING! ❤️
Nicole Mazza
2023-01-26 22:01:47 +0000 UTCit is interesting how in the Daleks last classic appearance, Davros is basically planning to start the time war. I guess the doctor's plan didn't work so well after all... also it is crazy to me that less time passed between the airing of this story and "Rose", than between "Rose" and "power of the Doctor".

2023-01-26 20:06:10 +0000 UTCI kind of figured it was some kind of mass military funeral. is that a thing?

2023-01-26 19:59:13 +0000 UTCSo all those soldiers got killed, but only the traitor gets a funeral service
