Monster professor - Doctor Who - BBC classic sci-fi

Ahh, old weird dr. who. I miss when it was possible to make smart programming for kids, something that all ages could appreciate, something that was not 100% lcd commerce.

[TheSchemer1]

how come wheneer primords are at their most aggresive or active you hear that weird metallic drumming sound at 1:07 for example.

[sagefall11]

Yes, If there's a monstrous hairy man loose in the building, spray him with a fire extinguisher. I mean, why not? It works on fires right?

[collegeman1988]

I thought that this was the best Pertwee episode of that era of Doctor Who.

dr who is cool

[dhollseed]

interesting that in those days the writers didn't feel the need to save the countdown with just 1 second to go...in this scene there is a healthy 35 seconds left

[SpotxSpot]

This scene has got to be one of the best in the series, thrilling without going over the top (something we'll probably never find in Nu Who). Brilliant!

[YaleBreaker]

Ah, Stahlman...

Were there ANY scientists with common sense in the seventies?

[UKSazzy67]

Apparently part of the process of turning someone into a Primoid also converts them from videotape to film instantaneously.

[randomdave30]

@ icemachine79 noticed that...!

[bazookoidben]

@icemachine79 Not to mention leaving little bits of yellow tape on the floor exactly where Liz was standing, no doubt the Primroid's had a fiendish scheme involving film and yellow tape, alas their plan died with them...

[TheSchemer1]

@icemachine79 YEAH lol

[ponchoman49]

The fire extinguisher was used for all the primords in this serial because they like the heat and can't stand cold. This was a very good episode and one that scared the hell out of me when I first saw it in the 70's as a very young kid.

[konokitsune]

Geez,if you've got a strange substance on your hand,DON'T PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR FACE!!!!

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

fire extingishers take things down huh

[gh4roks09]

hahaha I just realized this. The Doctor likes to use Fire Extinguishers to defeat his enemies. Even David Tennant would shut down the robots with a fire extinguisher on The girl in the fireplace :p
