Attacking Autons - Dr Who - BBC sci-fi

[flaxonx3]

Remember watching this on my own as a six year old in 1970. That scene where the auton kills and vaporises the man in the tent is my first memory of televisual terror. What they've done with Dr Who today is a disgrace. The people the BBC employs today, I don't know where they get them from.

It's nice to familiarize myself with Classic Doctor Who when much of my DW-based exposure comes from the Revived Series.

[uncled39]

Scared the shit out of me.

[powerhousechipmunk23]

I want the Autons back, but in a STORY, not as a shitty cameo

[doctorw2]

this episode was one of those doctor who episodes that surpass your expectations.

[sohailoncheese]

sumthung scarier weeping angels

[frankydman]

DID YOU KNOW: Despite having only appeard in 3 serials, the Autons remain one of the more memorable enimies of the series compared to some of the other adversaries the doctor has encountered.

[nogginthefroggin]

So, the Brigadier is going to lay on an ambulance..............be more comfortable on a bed surely.

[RICHIEPR63]

these autons were far scarier than the ones in the new series!

[blaster2012]

Dark and sinister.Love it!

[jpphy23]

I am mad that let the guy get killed in the end. Then again, that is what makes this a horror story.

[hando88c]

I wish this story was on Blu-Ray!

[CommisarTeds]

You see a lot more deaths in the old who.

[ShadowRealm13]

wow.. people can never come up with anything original. i like the new series but hardly anything new.

Doctor who is awesome tho..

[Ravengirl1011]

I know they use a lot of the classic monsters, but what about:

1. The slitheen

2. The Adipose

3. The Gasmask zombies

And LOADS more!

[zufgh]

All of which have been used twice or less.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

The SLITHEEN IS still being used with David Tennnant,I dont think U R going to see the ORINGINAL ACTRESS who played as the FEMALE TIMELORD-THE RANI anymore in the series-She,Much like PETER DAVIDSON(Arnt TIMELORDS NOT supposed to get old?! =)p...),She Has gotton too old to play her character

[Emperorofthedaleks]

Well there was new that the Rani was returning, but she will have regenerated.

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

Really? Where have U seen her out and about recently? I havent seen ANY RECENT footage since her days as the RANI,Not like that GORGEOUS brunette that played as PERRY,She had years ago done live telethons with COLIN BAKER-I did see him on here(YouTube)recently-HE GOT OLD,He was PLUMP THEN,U should see that Butterball now!! >=)P RotF-LMAO

[lelvish1]

I don;t agree. Kate O' Mara still looks very good for her age and i think she could easily return as The Rani

[RegenerationStorm]

that is why so many people like the classic series - because there is more freedom in those eras , you always feel compact and that there is no sense of freedom in the new series, as there was in the pertwee/baker era. The finales always work on doctor who new series , because of it

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

TOM BAKER was still pretty good with his OLD MAN CHARM=)P(for guy characters in that series to meet him,He was friendly enough) as opposed to COLIN BAKER character-COLIN was Stand-offish,He reminded me of like a Cats attitude Rotf-LMAO

[DaleksvsMaster]

Damn this was scary the first time I watched this.

[murrangurk]

Those powder guns don't seem to affect it....

[darthbandon10]

Powder? Thats bits of plastic shearing off when the Auton is shot...ie bullets have no effect.

[murrangurk]

Ahhh! I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.

[tardistuner]

This is one of my favourite who stories ever! it is fantastic being the very first colour story also adds to it's charm.

[doctorwho19632004]

they will never be able to make doctor who as scary as this again !

[hpswtrke42]

doesn't seem like they were supposed to be scary...though "blink" was creepy as hell...course i'm kind of biased to the new series since thats what I started on

<3 David Tennant :P

[DooDooDooDoo4]

Same here.

BLINK = STILL scared of after watching the 10th time

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

Some of the CLASSIC DOCTOR WHO is on DVD now-GOOGLE SEARCH the DOTOR WHO DVD and watch which titles comes up-If U buy them,Watch out for the STAMPEDE to your house like football season had started! ROTF-LMAO

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

Wrong,Theres FEW episodes with the MASTER that was very disturbing-Ment the 1 FOX-TV made for movie that had BOMBED-Both the 9TH DOCTOR and THE MASTER had re-generated...Observe how The Master POSSESSES a new body,U dont call THAT scary?!

[HappiHatesBBC]

I think the autons are more scary in this one becuase, they are more human-like, the way they walk and so on.

[ProtoKun7]

I agree. I think the Autons looked best in this story and I wish Spearhead was longer; it was my favourite Auton story

[PommeFrite]

It's so charming! I love the way Autons walk.

[alex45162]

the old episodes of doctor who very cool for its time

[MangoTangoWango]

[middletond2k7]

[badwolf66]
