Classic Doctor Who - Robot - Episode 2 Part 1 786

I remember watching this when I was a kid... great to see it again. Although, those robot hands look pretty weak at the wrist LOL.

[sweetjynx97]

I'm probably the only fourteen year old American girl in my school who enjoys the old episodes more than the new ones...

[emenveeuk]

@sweetjynx97 Yep!......& I'd also guess that you probably are the only 14 year old in the entire USA of any previous generation who has ever seen this. I saw this upon it's first broadcast 37 years ago (in 1975) - I must have been about 10 years old. I've only seen glimpses of the newer one's which seem to rely more upon production effects to captivate today's audiences. So good for you for sticking with these older script orientated dramas. I feel the same regarding older movies vs remakes.

[LilacDownDeep]

@emenveeuk Is it okay to love both of them? I indulge on both of them for the humor and the plot.

[emenveeuk]

@LilacDownDeep Absolutely it's okay for you to like both era's of the productions. The older progs are quintessentially British for UK public & may not have been originally broadcast in those days on US TV. So it was interesting (for me) that a young person of today, oversees could prefer these older programmes with cruder sets, props & FX which is something I feel all along to be true. But let me know in 3 decades time if they still make the prog if you formed a preference for what is provided.

[LilacDownDeep]

@emenveeuk I don't have a preference. I don't believe in having preferences. If I like it, I like it, if I don't, I don't. I prefer not to let other fans get in the way of what I prefer or don't prefer and what I enjoy is both of them, and I'll continue watching them in the future with interest to see where it's going.

@sweetjynx97

Well, I'm a 15 year old Canadian girl who does so...

This was the first whole episode of Doctor Who I watched (a few weeks ago) and it is what made me watch more, :)

So many thanks for posting this

k-1... k-9's older brother?

[xadam2dudex]

this was a great episode parts 1 & 2 Robot ....I remember watching it on saturday nights

[elricmb]

I actually think the robot's pretty cool. I'm probably in the minority on that one but it is creative and it looked like it was fun to put together; plus I think it's more realistic than a cgi one but that's me. I really like the old Dr Who Series: The acting is good the story lines are creative and while some special effects may be considered primitive, a little imagination goes a long way. That is good because it exercises your mind and involves you the audience member.

[DogGhost21]

@elricmb

I totally agree with everyone you said :D

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

@elricmb I also like how the incidental background music of the old series was far more varied than the new series way of regurgitating the same old background music.And it didnt intrude like the new series can do

[sallyjosie]

@elricmb agreed! too many people nowadays are mentally lazy. Some have said they can't watch any show or movie in black and white. If that isn't the dumbest mentality ever. Sorry if anyone is offended but I find the newest stories of Dr Who to be childish and even archaic. Some of the plots have been used on The Power Rangers and even the Powerpuff Girls. that is just sad. From inventing the concept to the Matrix to badly copied stories from badly written books. I hope for a miracle.

[bluejeckett]

I think you must be the kind of girl that gives motor cars pet names lol 

[roteba1]

Having recently seen the Robot costume at the Doctor Who Experience in Olympia, London, I can honestly say it's even more impressive in real life than it was on TV.

[ElvenWarrior891]

Wow, I just love the technicality in the worlds of this series. It never gets old! :D

[dieskie2479]

So this is what Charlie likes!?

I don't think we like all things the same -.-

[LostandFoundTravel]

Jelly Baby would make a great name for a topless dancer...

[NirGoldenberg]

K-9S GRANDMA XD

[ion010101]

I remember when I was a kid how we'd watch this show and just sort of suffer through stuff like the Robot. It was such an enchanting show, but occasionally you'd have to wince through stuff. We sort of understood that it was just the vagaries of television, and not what defined the show.

[butchdeadlift10]

5:33 Sarah Jane, just because something moves doesn't mean its alive. Just because something looks human doesn't mean it thinks. Computers are not made of magic and mana, just programed actions like a CooCoo clock, a rube Goldberg device, or an elevator door.  As a man who is far to familiar with Intelligence software I know how far we need to go; A touring machine with an encyclopedia of information is still just that; a machine. Any argument to the contrary is Toy Story logic

[c1ickh3r3]

@butchdeadlift10 there are robots that feel in doctor who though....

[butchdeadlift10]

@c1ickh3r3 .............(I curl up in the corner in nerdy shame)

[balthier1983]

@butchdeadlift10 adding to that rebuff, the human brain is little more than a super computer and yet it is capable of so much, if you build and programme it well enough it can attain a level of semi/complete sentience

[butchdeadlift10]

@balthier1983 assuming that one will program lower stronger functions as the base. A man is able to be artistic, inquisitive, and logical after Mazlo's hierarchy has been satisfied. Take away food, shelter, and throw man in danger his baser functions of simple emotions and pack-animal sociability kick in. A robot sadly is not designed based on the reality of an animal, but on the abstract constructs man has chosen to define himself as. Robot mind would be built backwards from a natural mind

[Twilightcrazy4ever]

this is just like forbidden planet with the robot

[LONGPORKBUFFET]

Tom Baker is, by far, my favorite Doctor...would you like a Jelly Baby?

[DoctorWhoStar100]

@LONGPORKBUFFET

sure ooh orange please!

[prim3minister]

i must obey - i cannot obey ^^

[Iriacinte]

O-M-G it's the grandma of K-9!!!

[longhairfan]

It was a huge robot....7 feet tall!

Something like that (without looking back at Sarah)

LOL the 4th Doctor was characteristically funny! 

[UchaMuchar]

@stealthmummy i know say have you heard of the daleks

[UchaMuchar]

have you heard of the daleks

[UchaMuchar]

that video is awsome

[Marzipanilla]

"Only that they're prepared to kill to protect themselves ...where's Sarah?"

Nice.

[venture790]

The director reminds me of the Baroness from G.I. Joe.

[DOONBOON]

@venture790 She could very well be the Baroness. She cut her hair to hide her identity. ;)

[michaelkeeble1]

wow this takes me back years these effects were so good back then and the monsters sceary lol

[osubeaver8]

why am i getting a riff raff and magenta vibe from those two robot people lol

[MrMikama]

thanks for the upload!!!!

[Nerixus]

Anthropomorphic. I have to say, its quite.. odd. How would someone so normally say something like that? xD

[tube2007rhw]

Nice use of Assimov there
