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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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 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)
@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.
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.
2 of my fav BBC programmes mixed together! Sweet! :D
