Yeah, Shockprowl. After you finish 4-8, go back and do 1-3. -Ralph Yes that has always been my plan: saving Third for last, as he was my Great Blueshift gifted revelation. |

I'm genuinely impressed. It took me the best part of three years to marathon the classic series. All you need is a wife who falls asleep after X-Files. |

I hope Shockprowl goes hardcore and does all the Missing Episodes too. -Ralph How can I see them if they're missing? |

Yep.
Not the only one in this season either.

All of them exist as audio.
All of them exist as reconstructions using either off air photos or approximations
Some of them have been animated.
Listening to an episode while watching static photos that change every ten seconds or so is, well, it's surprisingly enthralling.

Not sure how I feel about the Two Doctors.
Patrick Troughton is compelling and I'm really looking forward to watching him more when I go back.
But the story and guest characters I found, I dunno, not-interesting. Weird in a non-good way, like the freak who wanted to eat everyone.
There was just a lot of wondering around, hiding, and being caught.
Not even Blake's 7 lady interested me.
I enjoyed Second and Sixth together, but they didn't seem to be together very much at all! I remember it being much better when I was a kid (but remember nothing about the story).
So, meh. Neutral at best, disappointed at worst.
I'm still struggling with Sixth. Sorry, Colin.

I expect it is fake news stories I keep getting on my google news feed. But keeps showing story saying that the 2024 episodes have been refilmed to remove the new companion. But they are filming the 2025 series right now.

Previously Colin Baker hammed it up as the villain in Blake's 7 City At The Edge Of World....
.... Paul Darrow has been waiting five years to return the favour and seizes his opportunity with both hands!

The brilliant Paul Darrow and the excellent character of Herbert were the only interesting things for me in Timelash. Again I find Sixth's bombastic portrayal exhausting.

I am enjoying the convenience of 20th Century Who on the Iplayer, I must.
Finished watching 'The Sun Makers' (better than I had remembered). Now bouncing between 'The Reign of Terror' and 'The Twin Dilemma'.

Sun Makers is excellent. Classic Holmes.

Kara, Jobel, the DJ, Tasambeker, Takis, Vogel and Stegnos' head all should be familiar And Lilt has been in New Who! Cracking cast At the point I saw Revelation the only thing I knew William Gaunt from was No Place Like Home. That show is a tick list for "spot the Doctor Who guest star" www.imdb.com/title/tt0086771/ |
