  • 2 of my fav BBC programmes mixed together! Sweet! :D

  • Next Time, make it in the style of the old series!

  • I think this story was good except that, we bid farewell to Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge for seven years and get the feeling we won't see him back. I have often wondered if the Land-Rover Tom Baker's Doctor drives in this story is actually his own vehicle. I thought when I first saw this story, in 1975 when I was old enough to learn to drive I would have a Land-Rover like the one Tom drives in this story. I also think that the way the Land-Rover breaks down is a real pain for the Doctor.

  • Can you use the 1970 theme, instead of the 2005 one?

  • When they release this on DVD, they HAVE to reconstruct the Lochness Monster with CGI, and maybe the third eye :P

  • @shepja87 The shots of the monster are not on the dvd. The original lochness monster in this story didn't look very convincing; i assume that's why they where changed here. Also the shots are of a liopleurodon a sea creature from the jurassic period.

    Also this is a great trailer.

  • Are the shots of the Loch Ness monster something new you've added in or are they new footage they put on the dvd to make it more modern? I have the 5 doctors dvd and there's two versions, original tv version and a re-edited cut with new special effects.

  • What were those other non doctor who clips from

  • love to have seen your plesiosaur style skarasen waddling across scotland after the Doctor...

  • VERY good editing job on this trailer Mulett; it summarizes TOTZ well.

    TOTZ is an excellent story, not quite a top-ten, but very close. It is an end-of-era story, in that it is the final appearance of the Pertwee-era UNIT family of the Brig, Benton and crew. It is also the last episode for Harry as a companion. In that regard, TOTZ has a bit of the feel of a Pertwee story circa Season 9 or so.

    GREAT story with a twinge of sadness as another DW era passes into history.

  • @63DW89 I agree with you it is the final, appearance of the Pertwee-era UNIT family and also we don't see Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart for again for nearly eight years. I wonder if , Graham Williams disliked the UNIT setup? I also wonder if the Land-Rover Tom Bakers Doctor is driving in episode two is actually Toms own or if it was hired for the programme? I think the scene, where the Land-Rover breaks down and the Doctor cannot get it started again,is a real nightmare for the Doctor.

  • @rojblake82 Actually it was Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks desiring DW to get away from earth-bound stories that resulted in the slow phase-out of UNIT! Robot and TOTZ were both actually commissioned by the Letts/Dicks team for the Season 12 Hinchcliffe/Holmes team, and TOTZ was held over to start Season 13.

    For me both Robot and TOTZ are charming in that they retain a bit of the feel of the Pertwee era, in the early Tom Baker era.

    Most likely the Land Rover is hired, BTW!

  • Brilliant brilliant brilliant! Actually gives you a new appreciation of the story seeing it unburdened by sloppy editing and other production problems we've grown to love/ignore. Amazing job.

  • Excellent!

  • Brilliant

  • that was very well put together

  • Which Terror do you prefer?

    Terror of the Zygons

    OR

    Terror of the Autons

  • OR

    The Macra Terror

  • Good spotting I never thought of it at the time but the whole story doesn't exist anyway so it's hard to judge.

  • Fantastic trailer! Ithink you should make another trailer, as I also really enjoyed your "Hand of Fear" next time trailer!

  • Fantastic work! I loved this episode :)

  • Just goes to show that the original series had great stories n scripts, and is only laughed at because the CGI wasn't available. Some of the current series stories are re-written old ones ( Human Nature) as they should have been.

  • Well said.

    The new Series is actually pretty good, although it is still a long way from equaling Classic Who at its best in Seasons 12,13 and 14.

    Classic Who, at its best, may have lacked CGI, resulting in shaky special effects at times, but the superb writing, production and acting so captured the viewer that it didn't matter.

  • Well to be technical, Human Nature was novel rather than a tv episode. Otherwise though, you're right.

  • haha walking with dinosaurs pretty good idea

  • Nice idea, mixing it with Walking with Dinosaurs. Certainly better than the original 5p budget Nessie. XD

    Attack of the Liopleurodon! haha

  • is this episode posted? How do you get to it?

  • I'm pretty sure Tbakeris4th posted it. Go to his channel. I'm pretty sure its #81.

  • I thought it was from the first season of Primeval.

  • Nah, Walking With Dinos

  • oh, ok, it looked a bit like an under water thing from Primeval that's all

  • That is brilliant! I jumped when Sarah is grabbed by the Zygon, just as I did when I first saw it nearly 25 years ago!

  • if they do, then when the series 5 boxset comes out, i'll never turn that episode off! But Series 5 will be in 2010, there are going to be specials in 2009

  • very good, i love the Zygons! I wish they'll bring them back for a new episode of doctor who

  • They did return in a new Doctor Who Tenth Doctor Novel

    but hopefully Season 5 they will return

  • The Zygons are also in one of the newest Big Finish Audio Dramas. It's called The Zygon Who Fell to Earth and it has Eight and Lucie...

    It came out back in June.

  • its a leiopluradon charlie! a magical leiopluradon!

  • Very nice!

  • Fantastic trailer, looks genuine.

  • That creature is a liopleurodon (lie-pler-o-don). It was the biggest predator known to man. It's not a dinosaur it is a prehistoric marine reptile. It is about 30 meters long. This footage was taken from waking wih dinosaurs episode 3 'Cruel Sea'. I thought it was an artistict touch putiing it in the trailer. Keep up the good work!

    Walkingwithjack XXXX

  • Loch Ness Monster! C'mon!

  • I personally don't like the zygons they look a bit silly, brill trailer though

  • Should have used original 'dinosaur'. Just because it was classic. One star. Otherwise pretty good.

  • Very very good. I love the addition of the dinosaur. The Zygons were great. Bring em back, I say.

  • ys this serial not on you tube

  • It is. Twice, actually. You just have to be clever about finding it.

  • ???

  • Very nice , interesting you used bits from a recent BBC documentary , i forgot whats it called thou , but very nice .

    Cheers , Jason [ Doctor Who One ]

  • All these trailers you've done are just MEGA BRILLIANT!!!!!

  • Clips from walking with dinosaurs? Why not just use clips from terror of the Zygons? Still, well done.

  • Wow, this breathes new life into "Terror of the Zygons."

  • Cool awesome story the Dinosaur in the sea is known as a Liopleurodon which would eat anything in the Ocean including Sharks it was 25 metres in length ( 80 feet )weight was around 150 tonnes....... Awesome creature .its snout was twice as long as the Tyrannosarus

  • Yeah, T. Rex was 43 feet long, so you just said it's snout was 86 feet long. 6FT LONGER THAN WHAT YOU SAID IT'S LENGTH JUST WAS!

  • wicked I'm making a series of doctor who in august

  • HAHA! I would LOVE to see a re-edited version of Terror of the Zygons with a computer-animated Loch Ness monster!! Do u reckon BBC r up 2 it?

  • excellent1 very dark and entertaining. loved the new look of the Scarasen. Even though its off Walk with Dinosaurs CGI but still EXCELLENT!

  • was there ever a companion who was not from the present??? (i have only seen the new seasons.. like was there ever a cavewoman??

  • Quite a few - for instance Victoria was from the victorian age, and Jamie was from 1746. Zoe was from the far future, as was Leela (the nearest you'll get to a cavewoman!). Most are from modern-day Earth, however.

  • wait.. leele was from the far future, but she was theclosest to a cavewoman?

  • Yes - her people were the descendents of a space-crew who crashed landed on a planet in the far future. The crew had to survive without their technology and were never rescued. They raised familes etc, and their descendents formed into tribes and lived (almost) as savages.

  • that sounds quitr cool. what doctor was it with her?

  • Tom Baker (4th Doctor). Leela came after Sarah Jane.

  • why didnt he come back for sarah jane? :O(

    was Leela a good compamnion u think?

  • @Mulett But Ace is cool! and Romana II

  • And a few non-human companions of course.

  • who?

  • Nyssa, Adric, Turlough, Romana and (presumably) Susan.

  • uh. right, names dont mean much to me O____O

  • GIYF

  • engh????? i dunno what that means.. okay ill guees.. ummmmmm 'google it you fool'? 'go interrogate your father' that might work... but i should proabbly revise instead

  • I would just give you a web link to a list of the companions that I found through Google, but you can't post links in a comment, hence GIYF.

    It's Google Is Your Friend. But, Google It You F*** is good too :)

    Ironically, if you did that then you would've found out what it meant ;)

    Good luck with whatever you're revising for :D

  • lol, thats true,...

    i often do google letter things.. *google* which are apprently called 'Acronyms and abbreviations' - yay for google. thanks, i stil have my A2 hist, + bio + media exams(media=easy)

  • apart from K-9

  • And Kamelion, another robot.

  • @moogle301 In addition to those listed by Mulett: there was Vicki (not to be confused with Victoria) from 2493 A.D., and Steven Taylor, from around the same period. Katerina came from the Trojan Wars epoch, and Sara Kingdom was from 4000 A.D. Can't really count Susan, Romana, Adric, Nyssa or Turlough as they didn't come from Earth.

  • very good,but check out the orig trailer from 1975.

  • Awesome!

  • Not the first to say it, but this is very good.

  • best trailer for the classic sereis ever! Even better than some new series trailers!!! Well done!!!!

  • brilliant. i love the bit with the scarasen

  • Always wanted to see how Harry left. Great vid!

  • Don't rely on what you see in the trailer if you want to know the exact circumstances of his departure.

  • Great job! Actually looks like a new series trailer!

  • Great use of Liopleurodon from Walking with Dinosaurs.

  • Nice mix of music, its not the broadcast version. That makes it stand out. I dont know how I feel about the FX shots but as a trailers its damned good.

  • I think it is the longer 'album' version off the Doctor Who/Murray Gold msuic CD. The FX shots are taken from Walking With Dinosaurs (or one of those types of shows). I thought it would give an idea of how an CGI-updated 'Terror of the Zygons' might look.

  • @Mulett But why on Earth would you want to CGI-update it? I rather like the cheesy special effects.

  • Incredible! Best "Classic" Next Time trailer ever! Very well done!

  • I like it

  • Wow. One of the most professional looking New Series Trailers ever made - well done!
