Doctor Who - the classic series

Dec 08, 2009 15:06

I think it's about time I did a list of all the classic series stories I've watched/heard. Feel free to yell at me for not watching a certain serial of your liking.

( Teh list. )

Oooh, lots of Second Doctor love. <3
But you have to watch Shada! It's written by Douglas Adams, and while the script was kinda... not filmed for the most of part 3 and 4, and Baker has to narrate the story, parts 1 and 2 are utterly enjoyable and very Adams-y.
And sdfghjhgf CURSE OF FENRIC. Go watch that too. :P

Two is MY Doctor, so it's logical I'd try and watch/hear as much as I could of him.

I have the Shada novelization, so even if I can't find the filmed material, I'll be able to get the story, I think.

Unfortunately, Shada is one of the epsiodes that I can't find either... I have it CD-R but with my upload speed it'd take until 2012 to, well, upload. :/
And you'Re probably not missing much with the novelization - Adams is a storyteller after all.

The novelization wasn't written by Adams, but I don't think that makes much difference - I've seen from other examples that Adams' touch is still strongly felt even when things end up written by others.

Well, since The Romans was the first Classic Who ep I fell in love with, I have to insist that you see it. Also, The Chase is critical for Barbara-Ian viewing.

And then, there are a few serials that I just have an odd inexplicable love for, including The Mind of Evil, The Brain of Morbius, and The Robots of Death. You should see them, too! ;-)

Sadly, I don't think The Chase has been released on DVD yet (at least I didn't find it while browsing Amazon), otherwise I would have added it to my wish list. The Romans is there, though, just waiting for me to purchase it in the future. Thanks for the other recs, too! :D

Well, I have been watching the show for ten years now...

Ah yes, that would explain a lot. ^^;

Also YOUR ICON.

I haven't watched a lot of the '80s serials since then, so even though I've crossed them out my memory is a bit fuzzy.

All hail Unexpected Naked Benton! :P
