From murderous mannequins to supersized spiders, thrill as some bloke on the internet says words (several of which are a bit silly) about the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who.
What better way to celebrate 444 subscribers than with a video about Doctor number 3? It also would've come out 250 days after the last one, if the stupid thing hadn't taken over 20 hours just to upload! Three times...
With apologies to Heinz. All 57 varieties.

My grandfather was shipmates with Jon Pertwee during the war. I remember asking Jon Pertwee if he remembered him at a Doctor Who convention when I was a kid and he did!

Season 7 is the best season of the shows history. brilliant, it never falters. "Ambassadors..." is the most underrated story. I've watched it 100+ times and I never get sick if it

It's so hard to not binge shows these days. I should slow down and watch it the way people did back then. But I've become so impatient that it really is nearly impossible. I'm over 50 and even I can barely remember waiting a whole week between show episodes and even MONTHS between seasons! Rushing through it does jumble everything in my head. The good thing is that DW has so many episodes that I won't run out for a good while yet! The Classic Era has been the perfect thing to watch before bed to unwind.

@jmatseas Год назад

@jasongaylor2232 10 месяцев назад

Pertwee is only second to Tom Baker for me. Their two era's(the 1970's) represent the peak of the show. The immense popularity of the show today is because of this time period specifically. Many Americans like myself became a fan of the show when we were watching it as children/teens on PBS back in the early to mid 1980's. And it was primarily the Tom Baker and Pertwee stories. The show was a wonderful escape from the harshness of the real World for us geeky, sensitive people.

@Yesica1993 5 месяцев назад

Wow, DW played in America? I am GenX and I watched waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much TV as a child. How did I never even hear of it? I had barely even heard the title, until the reboot was about to begin!

@marquonuk Год назад

Invasion of the Dinosaurs is so much better as a Target novel! I hope when it comes to be reissued for bluray, the dodgy dinos are replaced with cgi. It's not every dinosaur scene by any means, some are OK. It's mainly the Tyrannosaurus/Triceratops street battle, and the scene where the Doctor is in shot with a dinosaur in the street (the filmed Doctor and videoed dinosaur don't sync properly and wobble dreadfully) that really jar. You also don't need over-elaborate, lengthy cgi here, just some more adequate effects!

@meatrace Год назад

So re: Daemons. I think your analysis is right, popular opinion overrates it slightly (though not much) but I think the reason it's cited so often as an all-time classic is because it is THE quintessential Third Doctor story. It has all the elements his era is known for: the master, the UNIT family (who all have their own little arcs and memorable lines), a lot of great action, good monster effects, and good location shooting. It's the episode that I'd recommend to anyone unsure if they like Pertwee's era, and I suspect many people have experienced it for the first time in this way, thus being very memorable.

@marquonuk Год назад

It's interesting to see your views of an era you've visited years after broadcast, whereas I was born early enough to watch this whole era live as it was shown as a youngster. It reinforces my view that when anyone watches TV of the past, the best approach is to remember the year a story was made/shown, and judge it against contemporary shows and view it in light of the news and attitudes of the time. I would say it's a less useful idea to compare it with the attitudes at the time of a review, unless of course that's the specific purpose of the analysis. Having written that, it is interesting to hear the views of someone considerably younger than me, we do agree (mostly!), and besides most views change through time and do definitely depend on how the reviewer feels on the day. I've also enjoyed your Fourth Doctor era review, and I'm up for the Second Doctor next. I admire your production style and editing touches and your knowledge of the subject, and the whole video is an interesting watch right through, which isn't as easy as people think. -)

Enjoying your videos, thank you. I totally agree with you on The Daemons (say it loudly and proudly) and glad you gave Colony in Space some credit. I was hoping you'd notice that Planet of the Daleks started off as one of the best Doctor Who stories (ep 1 and 2) BEFORE the Daleks appeared and it suddenly became silly and bad. It's like they had a great script going - then decided they needed another Daleks story - so they used the script they had and ruined it.

@tskmaster3837 Год назад

Just to be different, I wasn't disappointed by Frontier in Space, I was disappointed by Planet of the Daleks. Frontier set up all these interesting subplots the Daleks seemed to be up to, just for it to get reduced to one massive Dalek army on one planet in the ass end of nowhere. How do you stop a massive army of that size? You blow up their transport ships. It's almost like someone looked at WWII Germany but learned the wrong lessons...

Once again our opinions match up almost exactly. Silurians, Inferno, Mind of Evil are all favorites. I also find The Daemons to be overrated. The only thing was that I don't quite like "Carnival of Monsters" mostly because I get really confused with the scenes of the gray people as I can't tell them apart. I love the concepts though and still really enjoy it. I honestly don't think there's a bad story in Pertwee's entire run. The ones that aren't that well written like Time Monster and Planet of the Daleks are super entertaining. It's the only era where I don't skip any stories on rewatch

The “Only the Chibnil ere had political messaging” thing you keep mentioning is not something fans of classic Who ever say, it’s what Chibnil supporters say to support modern Who being political. The difference is that Classic Who had good writing, of the mostly “Show don’t tell” variety. There were situations, clearly alien, that had parallels to real world situations, but the writers of Classic Who never felt they had to beat people over the head with the message - to “virtue signal” as some people call it. The problem with very recent Who is that it’s badly written, not that it’s political. The Doctor gets on a soap box and makes a speech, people go, “but that’s racist Doctor” and lines to that effect. There’s even heavy handed stuff like space white supremacist trying to thwart Rosa Parks. Subtle it isn’t. Honestly, I doubt most people would care if it was done well. It’s not though. Us old crusties never said Classic Who was not political, just that it was better written.

@marquonuk Год назад

I struggle to rewatch The Mutants. Yes, the colonialism plot is interesting, but the central mystery of "What's causing the mutations?/What are the Mutts?" is guessable, and even if you don't guess it first time round, once you know the answer - like remembering the murderer's name in a murder mystery - you can't un-know it for any future viewings, rendering it rather boring to watch.

@Yesica1993 2 года назад

Aw, no, there are special editions of various episodes? This fandom is complicated! I never even knew about the eps that had been lost/destroyed/whatever. I felt like I never got to know the 2nd Doctor or even the 1st as well as I wanted. That episode where 1, 2, and 3 met up was wonderful for me! It gave me a bit of closure in that way. I'm watching on Britbox, so I'm not even sure what I'm getting. One day when I'm a millionaire, I'll buy every season on DVD and figure out what's what. As for now, it's just too much for my poor brain. I'll watch whatever Britbox has and will have to be content with that.

Why do you have to keep spoiling everything ? I wanted to watch all of the classics and after each story, see your review, but you ALWAYS talk about FUTURE STORIES. WHY DO YOU DO THIS ? It's unnecessary. You talked about future doctors at least 30 times in this video or you say stuff like "sadly this character will go away in the next story" whyyyyy. I've had enough, in your first videos it was not too much, but this video you're going too far, that's it I'm done with your videos. You're doing the review of a story and you speak more of OTHER stories during the review what's the point
