The Ghost episode was a yawn, the spider episode silly the Pting episode zany but silly

the Partition episode was a little Romeo and Juliet  romance for 9 year old girls.

The companions remain like little children although to be fair time travel does take time getting used to.

The first episode…[Read more]

The Dr again was fantastic.

This is the best DR Who series ever.

I watched 3 Dr Who episodes in 1968 as a pre teen and have just rejoined the series.

Yes I missed 50 years and 200 episodes so I bring a “unique” perspective.

My memories of those 3 episodes in 1968 broadcast in black and white

was how bleak and ultra budget the sets were while the DR was the

earnest grammar school…[Read more]

I first saw Dr Who in the late 1960’s in black and white here in New Zealand.
