Tis a great story. One of Phil's faves too. It's a perfect example of how Doctor Who tried to reinvent itself at the beginning of the 1970s/colour TV era. For context, it's the last story of Pertwee's first season and the tone changes slightly after that when the Master is introduced, which you'll see when you watch Claws of Axos. Spearhead from Space starts the season you're now watching the end of. Inferno is also the longest of the stories you've got, so they won't all be that long!

Incidentally, I caught sight of Sean Pertwee in something the missus was watching yesterday, one of those DC tv shows. He is getting so like his father now. Wig on and you could do a 12th/3rd crossover I think. I would love to see that.

I believe the info cards I sent have tickboxes for all the stories. Shockprowl can tick them off as he watches!! |

Right, chaps, just clarify a coupla things for me re Inferno.
He's exiled on Earth and works for Unit, which is commanded by The Brigadier. Why was he exiled?
Is that warehouse the Tardis? Have the Time Lords done something to the Tardis and he's trying to get it working again?
He usually travels through space and time, not alternate realities?

In Patrick Troughton's last story he is caught by the timelords and put on trial for running away in the first place and interfering with others, this being the first time he is called to account. The judgement is that he is forced to regenerate and exiled to earth, and his knowledge of time travel is blocked. So he starts the Pertwee era stuck on earth unable to make his TARDIS work.
In reality this was a way for the production crew to reformat the show and give it a new start in the colour era closer to the popular action shows of the time. In the first Pertwee story he begrudgingly becomes UNIT's scientific advisor because he doesn't have a lot else to do.
He uses labs and garages and the like a lot instead of the TARDIS. The TARDIS is crippled, but he can't remember how to fix it. This changes over time, first when the Master appears and then eventually the timelords begin to use him for special missions basically for some story variety.

Great story. Great Doctor. One world dies, one world survives. It's good stuff that. "Free-will is not an illusion..."
And the moral is- don't drill through the Earth's crust people!

This is all very encouraging. I will be very interested to see how Shockers finds watching Remembrance straight after this. Very different beast.
