What’s not to like right? It is my favourite genre of fiction by a long way indeed.
I watched this the other day. Certainly not one of the best Tom Baker stories, but it is ok. Interesting to see the documentary about the making of the story, and especially the t-shirts they had designed at the end of the filming.
Good to watch, not the greatest execution, but a good story nonethless.
I never watched the whole of this series on the BBC so I’m giving it another go on Netflix to see what it’s like. I can just about remember the original series back in the 70’s although it’s a faint memory now.
I’m not sure how long I watched it for when it first came out, but I don’t think I even got half way through, so it’s interesting to see it again now.
Well I think I’m finally past the point that I’d seen any of these episodes before. Although things keep cropping up and I wonder if I’d seen that bit of the series or not. I think I’d actually seen a lot more of the series than I ever thought I had.
But a lot of the story is making sense now, and even though it really is a massive story arc it’s very good. I’m enjoying it.
I was amazed to find the original Doctor Who on Netflix, so I had to take a look as I think it’s been a very very long time since I saw the very first Doctor Who. It’s amazing to see it again, and especially to hear the music again and think of Delia Derbyshire’s work in making that real.
Actually, when you look at it the story’s very advanced for its time. Also, the inside of the original TARDIS was a lot bigger than in some of the iterations of the Doctor. Interesting stuff to watch.
I’ve now watched the first season the whole way through now and it made loads more sense then the first time I tried to watch it. Of course the first time I tried to watch Heroes it was moved all around the schedules so I kept missing episode and trying to catch up.
This time it makes sense, so far anyway, and I’ve started into the second series now to see what it’s like. I hope to stay with it through the whole thing, but that’s another 50 + episodes, so I guess I’ll just take it one step at a time.
I recently watched The Menagerie (Star Trek: The Original Series). I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but it’s great to see it again, an interesting way of using the original first pilot episode in the actual series. I know it’s old, but it’s a good story and it has some interesting ideas too.
I have to say I’m enjoying seeing these old episodes again.
I thought I’d give this a little look and see what it was like. I can remember watching the original series and it being amazing, so I thought I’d check if my memory was completely coloured by the 80’s. It was. V the mini-series is pretty bad by today’s standards. I’m sure that back in the 80’s we may have found it an amazing TV event, and it probably was, but by today’s standards it seems hard to comprehend.
I’m not entirely sure I can keep watching it really, but we’ll see.
This 8th Doctor story is ok. Not one of my favourites, but one of those that I just need to complete my collection. It isn’t a bad story, it’s an early one from India Fisher’s time as the companion Charlie.
I’ve heard it before, but I’ll probably give it another listen just to see what it’s like again.
Another new 8th Doctor story. One with Nicholas Courtney so it’s bound to be a good listen.
This is an excellent 8th Doctor Story, with Simon Pegg in it too. I haven’t heard it for a long time, but when I did I really enjoyed it, so I’m looking forward to hearing it again soon.
