This made me cry tears of joy, from a place deep down in my childhood. Although I am only in my 40's some of my earliest memories are of watching 1, with Vicky, Stephen, Barbara, etc. as a kid with my family on PBS; our Sunday night ritual as a child, defined me as an adult, and I like to think that Doctor Who influenced me for the better. This was beautifully written, and played to both the characters experience, and the audience regarding how the Doctor and Doctor Who has affected our lives. I am glad that new generations are finding ways to dig into the original content and that their stories continue in other mediums, such as Big Finish, especially now that bi-generation could mean that all of the previous doctors are out there, somewhere.
I don't watch Dr. Who, but they should of just gotten Peter Davidson to come back one more time instead of the new guy. I don't know how, but I'm sure someone could figure something out.
He wasn't looting. At that time the excavations were done with the cooperation of the Egyptian government. Whether that was appropriate by today's standards is debatable, but it wasn't looting. Looting was done for centuries by Egyptians. But thanks for the holier than thou scolding and the mention of cultural appropriation in the story itself -- the same story in which RTD literally lynches and African god.
I’ve seen very little of classic who, but these shorts are beautiful. So much emotion; so much wonderful writing. It’s a remarkable reminder of how beautiful the character driven aspect of Doctor Who can be. The stories and relationships of characters can often set off an entire era of the show.
This is a remembrance TARDIS. It allows New Who to remember Classic Who in an effort to desperately try to hang on and carry itself on what Classic Who was, even as New Who works hard to mock and destroy it.
I'm so glad they acknowledged Jo wasn't in love with The Doctor. It honestly bugs me that everyone who encounters The Doctor needs to have their own little love story with them. So many of them were shoehorned in for unnecessary drama it got distracting. And Jo was so amazing here. Encouraging Clyde to tell Rani how she feels. It's so sweet and genuine, and the way she talked about Cliff made their relationship feel like less of the whirlwind romance it was back in The Green Death. Katy was absolutely amazing in this. Funny and clumsy as ever but with so much heart it bursts out of her sleeve. Jo Grant has been my overall favorite companion since I got into Classic Doctor Who and this highlighted all the elements that make her special to me. Katy Manning has the that same spark that Elizabeth Sladen has to reach out across generations and embrace you like you're family.
Even Colin can't carry all those colors now. It's okay, he's still the Sixth Doctor, and I remember his time fondly. All of these Tales wraparound stories give me good vibes.
I have to admit, I never bought Peri as a warrior queen. Going of with Yacarnos (sp.) seemed totally against type. And her being tortured and all. It was really weird. I also have to say with time, I really like 6. Every regeneration bring out a part of the whole Doctor's to the fore. And therefore the costume actually works for me as well. Only someone full of themselves thinks they would look good in anything. It reeks of ego and crazy!😃 I did like the reference of Varos and 21st century Earth. I've thought that for years.
its funny everyone has had a story except for 8th and the moderns not including ncuti like why not do David and Donna but its not 14th its 10th Matt and Amy Peter and Clara Jodie and Graham
i want five more episodes (i dont think chris would do them) pual and grace david and martha (because he has already remet donna and rose has her own david) matt and amy peter and clara jodie and graham
