Thank you for all the reactions and we shall be patient, promise! So happy you got to go into this unspoiled and it was such a good ep to finish on. GOOD LUCK WITH THE MOOOOVE!

Hey Jess! I don't suppose you've had any thoughts about reacting to Evil of the Daleks? Unless you're saving it for DW december?

Sougent

Remember the 50th anniversary special, the War Doctor and 10th Doctor wouldn't remember the events because things were out of sync so in this story only the 3rd Doctor would remember the others would not.

Some believe the reference in the Rings of Akhaten to "I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a *mad* man." was referring to this story.

I don’t think Jess’ll have time to do a DW December this year, as she’s currently moving houses.

James Fish

Thank you for an outstanding reaction. One of the points you raised regarding people who say Classic Who should be started from this era - I completely disagree too. I was born into this era & as soon as I realized how much I loved the show, I just had to see it from the beginning & totally don't regret that - it is essential viewing for any true Who fan IMO. 2 is my second favourite after one you have yet to see. Best of luck with your move, I hope it goes smoothly & I guess we'll see you again soonish at some point.

I totally agree people should start with the 1st Doctor, when watching classic who. I don't like The 1st and 2nd doctor being skipped over. They're just as significant and important as the the rest of the Doctors. Have a smooth and wonderful move! We'll be here when you're ready. 😊😊

OMEGA!!! (I'm such an Omega fangirl -- he's seriously my fave Doctor Who villain, especially his campy proto-Darth Vader moments! And his little frowny-face mask!) <3

I also love how the Brig thinks they're in Cromer (an English seaside town), at the beach, instead of an alternate universe (when he says: 'See that nobody wanders in. We can't have the place overrun with holiday makers. I'll nip out, find a phone and tell the authorities exactly where we are. I'm fairly sure that's Cromer.'). That gets referenced in 'Day of the Doctor', when Kate says: 'Malcolm, I need you to send me one of my father's incident files. Codenamed Cromer.' about dealing with multiple Doctors at once. <3

Also, I don't know if you remember, but Chibnall reused the 'contact' bit between the two Doctors (the 'flipping back and forth thing') with the Doctor and the Master in 'Spyfall'. I'm not the biggest fan of Chibnall stories, but being such a 'Three Doctors' superfan, I LOOOOVED that bit. (Okay I'll try to stop commenting....I JUST LOVE THIS STORY OK)

I first experienced this story by reading the novelization. I really enjoyed it, especially the reveal of what had happened to Omega. In some ways the show itself was a bit of a let down at first. Even by the standards of the era the effects and monsters seem, er, a bit silly. But Troughton is a delight throughout. It's nice to see Hartnell but tinged with sadness that he's clearly not at his best. I don't really like what they did to the Brig here either. He shouts a lot and doesn't listen. Normally there's friction between the Doctor and Brig but it's more nuanced. The don't have a "man from the ministry" character in this one and it's almost like the Brig takes that role, when normally he's the one backing the Doctor against them. But still, a fun one overall and I love that the universe is saved by two's recorder!

Paul Mason

So this was a fitting place to break, I hope the move goes well.

Ian Smith

All the best with your move. I'm genuinely going to miss that kitchen;but I look forward to seeing your new background. This is a fun story - but it's undeniably silly! What makes it enjoyable ,imo,is Troughton; who is clearly loving every moment :)

James Gorman

Loved your reaction to The Three Doctors. Especially your tears of happiness seeing the First and Second Doctors. The next four stories in Season 10 is superb. Good luck with the move!

When I started watching the show back in 1987, my local PBS station flipped from the 6th Doctor episodes back to the first. That was a culture shock! But it answered a lot of questions I had about the show’s history and I got to see William Hartnell and how much his Doctor set the groundwork for all those who have picked up his mantle in the decades since.

James Fish

Yes, even though I grew up in the 70's (the fourth Doctor being the main one I remember), I was determined to see what I'd missed when the videos started coming out towards the end of the 1980's and they went all over the place with the releases. William Hartnell set the bar very high. I'm just so happy that he was able to play some part in this story - albeit not as active as we'd like to have seen. However, he was able to see just a glimpse of the success that he'd started - & I'm guessing he was really proud of that. So glad that Jess was able to watch this story before her move!
