I’m looking forward to getting to listen to this soon, the next installment of the new series of the 4th Doctor stories.
Tag: Science fiction
What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.
Happy birthday Douglas
I still love his work and it’s such a huge shame that he isn’t around to make any more of it. Happy Birthday Douglas Adams. It was good to see the google doodle about you.
Doctor Who: Dark Eyes
I was really looking forward to this box set from the 8th Doctor, and it was well worth the wait in the end. A great story and a bit of a change for Paul McGann’s Doctor too. I enjoyed it.
I’m hoping that there’ll be some more 8th Doctor stories in the not too distant future.
Doctor Who and the invasion of the dinosaurs
I only got this because it was part of a boxed set with the Android Invasion. The special effects are very far from special, but the story was excellent. Sadly it makes me wonder about collecting Jon Pertwee stories now!
Happy birthday Mr Baker
Can you believe that Tom Baker is 79! That’s amazing, completely amazing. I was just listening to him today, talking at the end of the latest Big Finish CD. He doesn’t sound 79 at all.
I hope he keeps on doing lots more audio stories.
Dr Who, The Auntie Matter
This arrived today, and whilst I’m looking forward to listening to it I also find it sad to think that Mary Tamm isn’t with us any longer. She was fantastic as Romana. A great Dr Who companion.
U.F.O.
Still watching this and realising that it’s excellent stuff. The stories are of a really high quality.
The Android Invasion
This is a great Tom Baker story, and one that I needed to add to my collection. It’s part of a two story boxed set called “The Unit Files” as both of the stories feature UNIT quiet heavily. Great stuff though.
I so enjoy these earlier stories. They take their time to unfold and get going and there is much more emphasis on the science fiction.
Well worth a watch if you get the chance.
UFO
I got the boxed set of UFO (from the 70’s) for Christmas, and I started watching them tonight, but I wasn’t ready for just how 1970’s they’d be! Of course, you can’t judge a 1970’s production by today’s standards in anyway at all, it just isn’t fair, but it makes you realise what we take for granted in so many aspects of television.
Anyway, it’s a great show, and I love the theme tune too. As I watch them I’ll probably comment some more about the show. In fact, I probably won’t be able to help myself!
The Key to Time: The Ribos Operation
After Mary Tamm’s untimely passing I thought I should watch all of these stories again, but for some reason I’ve been putting it off. Until now that is. I’ve just been watching this great story, Mary’s first. It’s excellent of course. A superb start to a huge story arc.
