A More "Sophisticated" Historical Story? - Doctor Who: The Myth Makers (1965) - REVIEW 

Great review 😊

The reviews of old who are my favorite thing on your channel. Its as if they are coming out right now and I always look forward to the next! Great Job!

I'm really looking forward to seeing her grow and evolve as a character over the next season, can't wait to see her face the Daleks! Hope she makes it out!

I love her, shame she never was given a chance

I completely forgot that she stayed so long that she became the first companion to have 3 doctors!

Katarina was a wasted opportunity. A companion who believes she is dead and exploring the afterlife is an amusing and unique character quirk. She wouldn't have needed anything explained to her, and there would have much hilarity with The Doctor trying to convince her everything she is experiencing is very real... but instead they chucked her out an airlock.

I highly recommend the big finish story "daughter of the gods" its an alternative timeline where Steven and the Doctor know her for a few months rather than literally just a day.

It's honestly uncannily similar to what would happen with Tom Baker later, and JNT wasn't any less courteous about it than Wiles.

It’s something that was captured really well in An Adventure in Space & Time

@@BH-98 I didnt like David Bradley's portrayal of Hartnell. He made him out to be so ill that he could barely get through his lines. Watch The Smugglers recon. Its a superb performance from Hartnell in his penultimate story.

@@coldacre that’s fair, though for dramatic purposes & to serve the story their telling some events are altered slightly. Like if they had depicted the events of the making of the smugglers accurately in AAIS&T then it would contradict & over complicate the storytelling of the film.

Maureen O Brian might have struggled at first after leaving the show but her career picked up and she enjoyed quite a respectable career.

Same. If I could get any one story back, no questions asked, it'd probably be this one.

The historicals tend to be a little harder to animate due to the amount of work needed to draw and animate the intricate costumes and sets, particularly with the comparatively limited budget the animations get - The Highlanders, in particular, with all of its tartan has been highlighted in particular by people who have worked on the animations - so it’s likely that, if they get animated at all, historicals will be some of the last, particularly something like Marco Polo. As a big fan of The Massacre, it’s rather a sad affair.

@@SirDanFilmsUnltdthankfully they’ve only got The Space Pirates, The Savages and The Dalek’s Master Plan to go before they’ve finally released all the more sci-fi based ones, then they got no choice but to start doing more historicals

Is interfering with theme was a reoccurring time Did you forget to take your radiation gloves

I don't want to paint John Wiles as a villain, but from what I've read John Wiles' tenure as showrunner makes "Chaos In Cardiff" sound like a breezy day at the office.

@@MrTARDIS I'm actually reminded of the 3rd season of "GET SMART". After 2 seasons with the same producer & story editor team, the 3rd season started with a new team taking over, who didn't last. Early-on, another production team took over, and they didn't last either! Finally, about mid-season, yet another team took over... but THEY stayed all the way to the end of the 5th season. The best thing the latter team did was remember that Max & 99 had been in love with each other since the pilot, and brought that sub-plot back and allowed it to progress from then on through first date, engagement, marriage, pregnancy & birth of twins. In the 2nd reunion film (which rightly completely ignored the 1st!), they were married for 20 years and their kids were in college. This ran totally counter to all the relentless cyncism that took over 80s sitcoms.

And the first victim in Jonathan Creek was Colin Baker! :)

@@sofioremskoglund8396ah but was it actually Colin Baker, or Sylvester McCoy in a wig?

I thought she was adorable, and I liked her much more than Susan!

You mean Katarina.

@@sg-zd8eb Fixed it now.

Just like Sara Kingdom, really.

@@pious83 I know.

​@@SegaNintendoGuy64 Then again, considering how short her tenure as a companion was. Sara had more personality to her than Katarina.

It’s funny how three of them resort to brainwashing the Female Protagonists/ supporting characters to not give them development

I'm gonna have to give this one another go as well. I really just wanted to get to Daleks Master Plan so I think I just kinda slogged through it. The existing soundtrack absolutely sucks though so I hope that if this eventually gets animated that the restoration team goes through and tries to make the music not sound totally off speed.

@@MSDOSProject "Speed" has become a real concern of mine. It's horrifying that 60 years later the PAL/NTSC problem still exists. I recently sent back a Region 2 DVD box set of THE AVENGERS' 4th season (Diana Rigg!!) because the speed difference was just TOO DAMNED noticable (and, the contrast was so intense, you couldn't see things in darker scenes), and instead, bought a Region-Free BLU-RAY player and a Region 2 Blu-Ray box set... which was PERFECT (on both scores). Some insist Blu-Rays "never caught on", but that's rubbish. It's only recently I learned that Blu-Rays are "encoded" by a completely different system, and so totally avoid the PAL problem if you're in America.

Better than exit via.... whatever the heck happened with Dodo
