@Rint The old 60’s era Cybermen voices are creepy as hell, “you belong to us, you will be like us”. I also found the clockwork men from Girl in the Fireplace quite scary, especially the scene when you first see one. Something about that mask with the smiling face sends a shiver down my spine. Plus any episodes involving body horror like Ark in…[Read more]

@Bluesqueakpip I have tried to watch the special edition but like I said I just found the CGI distracting. I guess I should give it a proper watch at some point.

I must admit I’ve never been able to watch the special edition. I just find the CGI distracting because I just don’t think it suits classic who.

@Rint Start with Jon Pertwee’s first story Spearhead from Space and continue on from there. You may not like the post Tom Baker Doctor’s, you may not. They certainly have a mixed reputation.
The black and white stuff is really good but it’s also very slow paced, so it may not be your thing. I would recommend watching them last.

I forgot to mention earlier, Martha is often incorrectly referred to as the first black companion. The actual first black companion is of course Micky Smith. I don’t know why so many people make this mistake.

It’s functional as a introduction new companion but that’s all I can really say about it.

SPOILER, SPOILER, SPOILER...

For some reason on my last post on the music thread, the video I embedded has now been changed to my favourites playlist. Could somebody remove that post please.

@purofilion oh, I get it now.

@ScaryB Ah, well I find that bit actually, so no I’m not happy.

@ScaryB I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean by you’ll trust I’ll be happy. Is it because you think I that I like Jo as a companion better than Rose. If that’s the case then yes, I am happy. I actually think Jo is a very underrated companion. Like you said she trusted the Doctor, but still questioned him on occasion. She even saves him just…[Read more]

@purofilion I can understand not liking Chaplin, but Laurel and Hardy? How can someone not find them funny? Your parents clearly had no sense of humour.

The theme song to my personal favourite Bond film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

@JanetteB Yeah I’m not really a fan of the Christmas specials.

I think this is the best Christmas special. Tate and Tennant are a hilarious double act, it’s no surprise she was brought back as a proper companion. The actual plot is a bit naff, just an excuse for the two of them to get into funny situations, which in this case doesn’t bother me.

I don’t like Lance’s rant at the end where he makes several pop…[Read more]

Isn’t this the infamous episode where we get a glimpse of Jo Grant’s knickers?
