Doctor Who: Season 15 (1977-78). Contact Has Been Made (with K9). 

Nice!

"Freaking nerd." 😁

@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812 “Catch the wave!”

@@pdlagasse "My brother has the other one."

Max Headroom tried to take Data back in time. HA!

Well technically Susan and the Doctor weren't ever identified as Time Lords during the Hartnell run Time Lords are first identified as such in the War Games Strictly speaking it's easy to view that as something of a retcon

lol

Thanks!

K9 could have helped Kamelion. It's well known that petting a dog helps with depression.

of course he would have helped. Adding K-9 makes everything better.

@@jb888888888 yo I want a K9 and Kamelion spin-off

Cool, thanks!

Apparently that is a myth.

I saw Terence Dicks talk about this, and he said Mary Whitehouse never ever asked for a ban, she actually quite liked Doctor Who, only called for the BBC to be a bit more thoughtful about how intense for children some of the most excessive moments were. He said that, in hindsight, he sort of agreed with her.

S15 was shite!

Though Andred's were better! 😍😁

The reason many of the Dads at the time were big fans of the show. Lol! She was a stunner alright.

Which episode of the Invasion of Time? I think Episode One is good but it deteriorates rapidly after that.

That's good timing!

I always liked Ramona (1) and Peri most and now Martha Jones as well.

They knew exactly what they were doing with her costume.

thanks. TV series take a bit longer than a movie, simply because there's more material to sift through.

@@StamFine especially for doctor who as there are almost 900 episodes of the show

Fang Rock was recorded in TV studios in Birmingham, rather than London. Unless of course there were really, really bad floods that year.

A year on from the legendary hot summer of 1976 we got the opposite in 1977,a right damp squib. The autumn was moderate but the winter was a very wet,drab one after the turn of the year with some snow at the end of January and early February. Even so,I'm surprised to learn that they filmed it there and not actually making used of a real lighthouse somewhere on the Devon or Cornwall coast.

I'm pretty sure she wasn't a happy person in life, fairly sure she won't be enjoying the hot weather where she is now.

Alan Lake was King Actor of the 1970s and 1980s. Disrespect him at your peril!

Thanks. Also, reviews of both series you mentioned are very likely.

Agreed as both of those shows were childhood favorites. Throw 'Knight Rider' in there too for a decent trifecta of 1980's television.

Rewatching 1970s and 1980s television shows we traded cheese and story for shiny graphics and preachy. I miss the cheese. Edit: video games took a downturn as well. I blame more time and money being spent on graphics to the point where it becomes the focus of the production instead of the story.

@@JB-ym4up I can agree with this. I don't watch modern television shows. The last one I really got into was 'Elementary' which was good but they put too much focus on Holmes' drug addiction. As for video games, yeah... Give me Final Fantasy 7 or even 12 over anything new. I'll still race the hell out of some Gran Tourismo, though. Oh yeah. Plus I could spend days not even racing but simply designing cool paint jobs for my favorite cars.

The story had something worthwhile to say and one that even decades still holds up. Anyone who loves to parrot Doctor Who was always political bull are usually talking out of their ass trying to justify the current tripe because not every story did it and those that did it then weren’t written by people who thought they’re the next George Orwell writing the next Animal Farm but they’re really just writing fluff pieces endorsing corporate entities with all the edge sanded off that would have been targets for actual writers. Plus the creation of the story being born out of Robert Holmes’ saltiness puts it above Chibnail’s entire DW body of work including his Torchwood efforts. You can feel the writer venting his frustrations while making a commentary on the matter that doesn’t come off as smug or patronising like what the Orwell wannabes’ writings would.

We'd watched Horror of Fang Rock keenly but I have to admit that The Invisible Enemy had passed me by somehow. The first episode of Image of the Fendahl was decent,with a good build-up to sinister happenings afoot,but it turned out to be the last episode I watched at the time,having scarcely missed any of the previous six years or so. It was autumn term half term in 1977. I'd just become a teenager and my interests were starting to shift,but I still retained a fondness for Dr Who as I'd known it up to then and read the occasional Target novelisation of older stories in the months that followed. Therefore,from the point I left off this is covering largely uncharted territory for me. I did watch the rest of the 1977-78 season in retrospect a few years ago as well as the first story or two of the following season. The Sun Makers stood out as the best of that bunch to me. I've still never seen City of Death,though! I did catch a handful of stories in the earlyish-to-mid 80s such as a couple when Tegan and Nyssa were asssistants and Turlough joined,and then The Caves of Androzani.

Probably. Or maybe not. Or is it?

It's more the execution of the story rather than the concept ot the script.

It's sorta explained, but the lines delivered in a way that don't really get that across to most viewers.

@@StamFine no it was not said very well from what i understand invasion of time was going to be in the first place some other story with giant cats but for some reason at the last min they changed it to this so thats why this story fills a little put together at the last second

Precisely. That is a liquorice allsort. One of the bad ones as well.

Roger Moore needs a big build up.

July or August 2022. That's vague but realistic.

@@StamFine looking forward to it. This is a great channel by the way. Watched them all now so keep up the amazing work.

Allsorts.

you never know who's just now discovering something for the first time.

Made by bassets. Allsorts.

@@craigmckenzie3918 you do realise that its “maynards bassetts”.
