What self-respecting Time Lady would say "the ball is out of your court"?

@88HUSE Certainly Season 26 was the strongest of the three. I already said that "The Curse of Fenric" was very good for the most part, and to lesser extents that's true of "Battlefield" and "Ghost Light" as well, but "Survival?" To think that so venerable a franchise could easily have ended with the Master whisking people away to the planet of horseriding cheetah furries, as if DW were Action 52!

Sorry, I like McCoy but I find it hard to view his Doctor as anything but a diamond in the rough.

@aperson22222 I agree that seven's era started off quite bad but by the end it was incredible, the way they were characterising the doctor as a "more than just a Time Lord" - I wish they'd been able to elaborate on that. 'Remembrance...' and all of season 26 were good episodes. But like I say, who knows where we'd be right now if it didn't get taken off air in '89.

[aperson22222]

Always interesting to see the Master being helpful. You know he's got some ulterior motive, some other angle he's working, but here--unlike, say, "Logopolis"--even working toward his own ends he's proving an indispensible ally, at least in the short term. The only other moment like it I can think of is when he started zapping Rassilon in "The End of Time."

[aperson22222]

@88HUSE Oh I think the Seventh had even worse scripts than the Sixth did. There are exceptions: "Remembrance of the Daleks," most but not all of "The Curse of Fenric." These exceptions are few and far between. "Trial of a Time Lord" held my interest better than any of McCoy's seasons, though that's not the fault of McCoy himself, who brought as much as he could to the role and appeared to have a lot more to offer if the writers had asked him to do so.

[LifeOfGee]

Methinks he would of said: "oh no, now I really am f***ed."

@Britanygibson The audio recordings for every single lost episode still exist, complete with 'telesnaps' which have been used to create reconstructions of all the missing stories. Check out loose canon recons on google.

The vast majority of Doctors 3-7's output is available on DVD, and will likely be completed in the next couple of years.

[Britanygibson]

watching these clips makes me wish that so many of the episodes did not get erased and lost. I wish if nothing else, BBC would release at least the story lines or scripts of the lost episodes so that those of us who were not born when Dr. Who started, could at least understand the series more than what is left to us.

[88HUSE]

The sixth doctor is really ok... but the scripts are awful! the seventh doctor's time was brilliant, but i'm sorry, this truely shows why doctor who had to go - only to get resurrected and be fantastic once more. even though it was improving by the seventh doctor

"By who?"

"By ME, MADAME."

God, how did they not see him? And ooooo echoey voice.

@vladtaltosfan The Doctor. Hence her saying "As The Doctor might say."
