Review Classic Doctor Who

[ant-mac]

John Levene makes the extraordinary claim in the documentary that the UNIT team was actually he, Jon and Katie - and that Nick C. was not really part of the team as his sense of humour was different from theirs and that he spent most of the time down the pub, which irritated Jon Pertwee.

Regardless of that, I think that Nick had an extraordinary chemistry with the others, and made him hugely important in the success of UNIT.

He also says that he knew the UNIT era's time was up when Tom Baker turned up and it was clear that Tom had an ego and didn't want to be part of a team. Which does sound like Tom admittedly.

He also says he would make an appearance in present day Who like a shot.

It would have been - and still would be - nice to see Brigadier Benton make an appearance.

However, both RTD and the Great Lord Moff seemed to have both forgotten his phone number.

Which also sounds very much like them, admittedly.

Well, the Brigadier is still my all-time favourite character from DOCTOR WHO - and that includes all the Doctors in the list too.

Would Sarah Sutton fare well in Nyssa's body? she might get Nyssa killed if she refuses to let the Master put the bracelet on her arm. The Whoniverse doesn't have any director saying "cut" and the Master won't be as stupid and as accommodating as he is on BBC tv.

You have prompted me to revive some old threads, BJS, including THE KEEPER OF TRAKEN....

Jackie Tyler in Last Episode of Classic Who?


View attachment 7029

But were they, in fact, complete strangers?

Fans now like to speculate that Jackie Tyler makes an appearance at the end of SURVIVAL.....

From 1:55 onwards....

This had been keeping me awake at night....

I HAD to know the answer!

Was this Jackie Tyler? Rose's mum? Bumping - by some twist of fate - into the 7th Doctor in the final story of the classic era - then returning to haunt him in the first story of the new?

Or merely - as Gavin suspected - just another chav? At best Jackie's neighbour, or perhaps a companion of Jackie's on some hen party one night?

But how could I find out for sure?

How could I put my mind at rest - one way or the other?

There seemed to be no hope - and then a thought occurred to me.

The bloody things been novelised.

Not by Terrance - wheezing, groaning shock of open face - but by the original author of the script. That burly, six foot irishman, Ron Munro, Matt's brother.

So, descending into the archives on a rope, I hunted for the offending tome and, pushing aside those odd BBC cans that I don't know what to do with that smelled vaguely of vinegar, I found it.

Nervously fumbling to page 132 I found the answer... or as good an answer as Mister Munro will ever provide...

"A window was flung up in a neighbouring house.

Mrs Bates from number thirty-three peered down at him suspiciously."

etc. etc.

So there we have it.

An eerie foreshadowing...

Thirty-three.

3 x 3 is 9

And it was the 9th Doctor that Jackie Tyler met.

A chilling prophecy.

Right up there with Troughton's "The Master?" in episode 2 of EVIL OF THE DALEKS to Molly the Maid.

This is all quite easy to explain...

It's the Mandela Effect again! Messing with our shared history and memories!

I feared as much...

I just didn't want to believe it.

Doctor Who - Overview

Brief documentary on sci-fi series Doctor Who, covering the original series from 1963 - 1996

Painted in 1989, speculation on where Doctor Who might have gone and how it might have looked.

Reworked slighly in PSP recently to darken the image.

Doctor in Distress (12-inch version, Instrumental)



12 inches of lyric free distress!

Can you take it?

 

[Doctor Omega]

From the same composer....

I think he has lost his mojo since 1985.

And why didn't Colin get asked to sing over this? Or Levine to write some lyrics?
