an ex-girlfriend of mine, when told that I "used to" watch Dr. Who and do the fantasy gaming bit, said "oh' you mean girl repellant." Alas she found me a little less attractive after my confession. Looking back on it, she was from Texas, and I think she was a bit jealous of Ramana (the brunette of course.)
Thanks for uploading these. I stumbled across this one and I'm definitely coming back to view all the parts when I have a chance to enjoy them. I enjoy watching stuff like this. It's always fun to get inside the heads of the folks involved.
The violence has never bothered me. Personally, I agree with Tom Baker's attitude: fantasy violence is fine. The one time that I thought that they went too far into the real world as regards violence was the prison riot in "The Mind of Evil".
@OmegaShenron6574 Story arc or serial -- both terms work just fine in my opinion. There's no reason to be obnoxious to other posters, particularly when they are actually commenting on the content of the uploaded video. Besides, a show like Doctor Who has to gain "newfans" or none of us "oldfans" would be watching anything but reruns (or maybe you prefer "recycled episodes" as the appropriate phrase?).
@hoodatwhatzit The irony is that I have been watching Doctor Who for 30 years. I guess there's no room for mistakes when Internet Gatekeepers are about.
Now can anyone actually answer my question? What was the name of the 'serial' featuring the killer puppet. I am just imagining seeing that? I guess I am such a 'newfan' that I can't remember things that I watched religiously when just a small boy, eh? ;)
@UberNoodleX well there are two possibilities. there is terror of the autons with the killer troll doll or the talons of weng chiang with the ventriloquist dummy that moves on its own and kills people
@UberNoodleX you mean my comment on story arc/serial. well in the old days (brief tear) the stories were called serials and what newfans would call story arcs would actually be things like the key to time series, the trial of a time lord series or the dalek war stories. maybe even the three peladon tales. a story arc is an overreaching story across a series (e.g. books). a serial is multiple episodes that make up a story.
@OmegaShenron6574 is the word 'newfan' supposed to mean anything to me? Anyway, I realised that I misused the term story arc as soon as I posted - simple error - but one cannot edit posts here. And I can't help but think that the word 'newfan' belongs in the lexicon of pretentious words used by Internet gatekeepers? There's nothing 'new' about my fandom of the good Doctor. A simple mistake is all that I made. I apologise if 'newfan' is actually one of the nicest things one can say to a stranger.
@UberNoodleX well i assumed you to be a newhofan by referring to a normal story as a story arc, seeing as how in doctor who story arc has come to mean the plot of the series (because apparently there needs to be a series climax nowadays for everything). there are several classifications as far as i have seen with who fans. oldfans who have grown up with old who and watch the new series out of interest. newfans who know nothing of the show before 2005.
@OmegaShenron6574 You know what? I'm a 'newfan', because I'm seventeen. I wasn't born when it all started. In fact, my mom was born in 1963. I'm Spanish and here DW is almost unknown. I always thought that this series still onthe screen because of the new generations of whofans, because we keep the audience levels up and make them grow every week. So stop criticizing us and stop thinking you're better just because of being older than me ._.
@UberNoodleX old and new can then be divided further in terms of what people accept as canon. there are the fans who read the books and listened to the audio stories to fill the gap after teh show ended like Moffat and me. then there are those who see the books, comics and audio adventures as extended universe and non-canon purely because they aren't on screen.
its interesting then that one of the old writers said that doctor who doesn't have a canon
@OmegaShenron6574 i'm a new fan, I grew up in the period of no doctor, my first doctor was eccleston but since then I have watched old doctor who, favourate being troughton followed by matt smith, yet to check out the audiobook but read some comics and will check out audiobooks soon (mainly eighth doctor ones). so i'm a newfan who would accept books n audioplays etc as canon until said otherwise
I remeber watching Doctor Who with someone else and they tell me that the TARDIS's wall lights were paper dishes with lights behind them. I looked at them as if they were plum crazy. I couldn't make them understand that yes, the production values were low but it's the heart of the show that drew me into the show.
well, Tom runs second to Paul McGann, in sheer time of holding the post. However, Paul didn't get his series bought by BBC. (yes, AFA I'm Concerned, the audiobooks count as "seasons", and he is wonderful in them. )
"Now drop your weapons, or I'll kill him with this deadly jelly baby."
I salute the writers.

I always got the feeling that Tom Baker never took the role seriously, which was why audiences liked him.
