"Do they even know whose car it is?", sesskasays, Reaction to "Mawdryn Undead" I do! :-) "In thirty years of soldiering, I've never encountered such destructive power as I have seen displayed here and now by the British schoolboy.", Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, "Mawdryn Undead" We LOVE seeing the Brig back again! And I was waiting for the thrill of your recognition. And that thrill was quite shrill - you could rival Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) there! "Take it from me, boy, a solid object just can't dematerialise.", Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, "Mawdryn Undead" Good on you picking up on the memory loss hint. "I know how many beans make five, Doctor, and you don't have to be a Time Lord to cope with A level maths. It may come as a surprise to you, but I also happen to like teaching.", Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, "Mawdryn Undead" But this will break your heart - it breaks my heart. Who do we know that could have been written into this story as a teacher at a school. Yes, the story was originally written to bring back Ian Chesterton! but unfortunately William Russell wasn't available. But if we can't have Ian, then the Brig is a fabulous choice. "Do you ever see anything of Jo Grant?", The Doctor, "Mawdryn Undead" Oh! The listing of our friends and the reminder of our whole Classic Who history really gets to me too. Oh and seeing the coat. "I knew a Tegan once.", Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, "Mawdryn Undead" Having multiple time-periods with two Brigs is really, really, really fun! But this is one of the stories that causes a problem with dating the years of the Brig's original stories - did they happen in the 1970s or the 1980s? BTW: The Mara discussion between Tegan and the Doctor was carried over from the previous story (which starts with an "S" but I won't say the word) because the previous story had overrun. Mawdryn is played by David Collings. We've seen him before in "Revenge of the Cybermen" and also in The Robots of Death. He has a distinctive voice and I first came across him in the BBC radio production of "The Lord of the Rings". He also voiced "Monkey" in the UK dub of the "Monkey" TV series. His voice can't hide from me! "Waking or sleeping, I shall be with you until our business is concluded.", The Black Guardian, "Mawdryn Undead" I really don't know what to say about Valentine Dyall wearing the Keith bird on his head. However, it's interesting that there are similarities between this contract that the Black Guardian makes with Turlough and contracts that the Trickster makes - in both cases, I guess when you're dead you don't have much bargaining power. Interesting that the Transmat capsule is also dimensionally transcendental. "Tell me, Miss Jovanka, this friend of yours, is it by any chance the Doctor?", Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, "Mawdryn Undead" What a fun story!

The scene of the Brig recovering his memories, particularly the music, gets me every time. My only complaint is it ought to be just a few seconds longer. For the Special Edition DVD, they went with a different montage. The thing with Keith is that the Black and White Guardians are meant to have a 'hawk and dove' thing going on, which a lot of people seem to miss due to the comical design of the hats. I wish they'd gone with a more stylised, ritual sculpted headgear design, but it is what it is. I'm sure if the new series ever brought the Guardians back (and please don't), that's the way they might go.

One of my favorite episodes, and one that still holds up remarkably well many viewings later. We all had about the same reaction to seeing the Brig. It's very unsurprising that you didn't recognize the Black Guardian: he only appeared briefly in one scene at the end of the Armageddon Factor, and there he was in disguise as the White Guardian, and with a goatee (and minus the bird hat). Valentine Dyall's marvelously maleficent voice is about the one thing you might remember. Won't say any more about Turlough, to avoid spoilers, but IMO he is one of the most intriguing characters in classic Who.
