What made being a Doctor Who companion so magical in the 70s that was completely deserted in the 80s? Was it the producer? The actors chosen to play those parts? The actors chosen to play the Doctor? Why was there so much sparkle in one era and not in the other? Romana was another knockout companion courtesy of Graeme Williams, who had already brought us K.
He joins Letts and Hinchcliffe at booking some fantastic characters for the Doctor to travel with. Mary Tamm brought real glamour and aloofness to the show and made her mark by just how stunningly beautiful she was and how little of the Doctor's shit she was prepared to take.
Whilst her character may have waned a little throughout the season, and Tamm's interest is visibly inconsistent I am sure she made a massive impact on both the kids a really smart female companion and the Dads another reason to hang around after the football. The chemistry between Baker and Tamm is palpable from the off.
Baker has gotten over his attitude problem with Louise Jameson and plays the Doctor at a much softer level with his new assistant and I'm sure Tamm wouldn't put up with any of his nonsense. The conflict between the Doctor and Romana her intellect and inexperience contrasting with his happy go lucky lifestyle works a treat and bolstered by some delightful Robert Holmes dialogue and the first episode sings when they are on screen together.
The Doctor has three rules for a new companion; do exactly as he says, stick close to him and let him do all the talking and also don't be sarcastic Especially by the Doctor. Interestingly given her icy coolness, it is Romana who panics when the chips are down and their lives are in danger. Romana gets quite the education in her first adventure, not only about the dangers of the universe but also how quickly the Doctor assess the situation despite appearances to the contrary.
She's about three episodes behind him whilst thinking for the most part that she is three episodes ahead of him. Conmen: A hotly contested placing is the ultimate Robert Holmes double act. It's a striking relationship because it is one that manages to be both very funny and something far more poignant and both characters shine in the pairing and individually. Like all good crooks, Garron is both charming and ruthless and in both cases is the head of the organisation.
Watching Garron at work playing everybody around him is a wonderful thing, this is a man who could talk his way out of any situation. Only the Doctor can see through him from the start.
So when he finds himself facing an execution squad it is not a situation he is accustomed to and he has to start improvising to keep his skin wrapped all over. Watch out for the entire 'Scringe-stone' sequence, utterly disrespectful to country folk but highly amusing. I love that the sting in this operation isn't selling the planet itself but hot footing it with the deposit, a small detail in the overall scheme of the business exchange but a massive punch in the face to the Graff given there was never a planet to sell in the first place.
Garron is the sort of man who admires competence in the competition, probably because it forces him to raise his game. Sparkling Dialogue: 'Nothing?
You mean nothing will happen to me? By the time I call out I've always said it was the last thing I wanted to do. I sold him Sydney Harbour for fifty million dollars. Then he thought I should throw in the Opera House as well! I mean one must have some scruples, mustn't one? He took the impressive documents that I had prepared and so my little ruse was prematurely rumbled!
He came after me! With a machine gun! I never went back. Just to know that for certain, Unstoffe is worth a life. It wasn't afraid to make the scope of the show BIG, even when it didn't always have the budget to support it. During these three years and with the help of Holmes, Read and Adams the show wasn't afraid of taking us to far away places, showing the vastness of the universe and constantly reminding us there is far more to explore than just the Earth.
The beginning of Ribos is probably the finest case in point which introduces us to a figure in the universe that is even bigger than the Time Lords, a Guardian with the ability to stop the entire universe and correct the balance if necessary. That is a massive concept to get your head around. Even more impressive is that the season will consist of stories that see the Doctor on a mission to find the various components of the device that can make this temporal pause in the universe possible and that they are disguised across all of time and space.
The canvas that has opened up for the show is awesome. And all of these mind expanding concepts are brought to life and fire up the imagination in all the best ways on a simples set with just two actors. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, George Lucas. You might have had the budget to splash special effects all over the cinema at the time but Doctor Who was working on a universal scale, for all intents and purposes working for God and traversing all of time and space to hit pause on all of existence while the big man tinkers about with things.
The two are simply incomparable. And do you know what I like even more about this extraordinarily magnanimous opening? Double Trouble is a generic feature on doppelgangers in Doctor Who, but fits as well here as anywhere. The Madoc documentary is also generic but this is his final appearance on the show so likely to remain here. Rogue Time Lords is generic and could move to The War Games, or perhaps Season 8 — until there is an indication we have left it here.
Late Night Story is proposed to move to the bonus disc. Tweets by TME Sometimes I used the video of one version and combined muxed it with another to get the best out of both versions. The reconstructions have an intentionally smaller file size, because there is less animation.
The filenames have " Recon " in it. I grouped the episodes into serials using the internal story numbers. For details see. I labelled it S17E06 to make it show up at the end of season It was broadcasted as a fourteen-part story. In this collection, I added the four working titles to the episodes. So this Season is one single serial, a fourteen-part story in four segments. These films were not assigned a serial number.
I consider this collection the best collection of the Classic "Doctor Who" episodes in the whole Whoniverse. Even if you have already downloaded one or two of the other available collections you should give this one a try.
I'm sure you will find something useful in here
