Instantly good character dynamic between The Doctor and Liz, great chemistry.
Pertwee is a brilliant Doctor, god mode activated.
'Smith, Doctor John Smith' epic!
- The Meep going "Meep meep!" as they sneak waddle past.
- The story randomly cutting back to that boy at his bedroom window, and his reactions to the chaos on the street below.
- Donna's reaction when 'waking up'.
- "Thank you, Bob the Builder."
You've gotta love The Pertwee.
Always ready to bust out some Venusian Akido moves.
Pertwee's era is great fun and action packed, Spearhead from Space has a lot of Bond and Avengers vibes, decided to do a full rewatch of his 5 seasons now it is on BBCi Player.
I love the Pertwee era. Even though UNIT doesn't appear in it, The Sea Devils is my favourite. With his Navy WW2 background, Pertwee absolutely looks in his element.
The Sea Devils is great i am almost tempted to skip forward to the story though going to work through all of them in order.
Pertwee's second season is probably my favorite overall because of the Master being omnipresent, no one beats Delgado IMO.
I like Ainley, but agree with you that Delgado is the best. He could be both thoroughly suave and villainous at the same time.
I actually want this mini era to continue, 3 episodes does not seem enough. I am only just getting used to seeing Donna and Tenants Doctor again and it will seem to fleeting when it abruptly ends.
And next week looks even better. I wonder if it could lead to more classic era villains being dusted off. The Meddling Monk perhaps?
That was a great moment at the end.
I did fully not catch all of the dialogue though I am sure the Flux was mentioned?
I did roll my eyes a few times though not as bad as last week.
Yes, Flux was mentioned. I can't say much for that, as I had already dropped out by the time of Flux.
I was a little confused about the mentioning of the air lock. How did the real Doctor and Donna know about it. Did I miss something, or did that plot point just come out of nowhere?
Because the dialogue was so frantic at times I did not pick up on a few things, I almost pressed rewind.
I think this episode has rewatchability it did have Event Horizon vibes, this was more like something I would expect from Steven Moffat.
it would be great to see some of the black and white era villains, there are some great cerebral adversaries.
As for the airlock, the Doctor saw it on the screen of the ship and mentioned it to Donna.
One of my favourite moment was the Doctor using the Tardis as a scooter. Had a chuckle at that.
Thanks for the heads up, I will avoid at all costs.
4.83m overnight live figures for ep2: very strong and almost no fall at all, so no defending required.
Down from last week, but the 7 day figures from last week don't appear to have been released yet. Given that these specials are riding on good will with the return of Tennant and RTD, 5M is low. The return of those two, would ideally pull more people in as an event, rather than "eh, i'll watch it in a few days".
Episode 2 of everything gets a lower figure than ep1, but as this is barely lower than last week's this is a very strong performance indeed.
5m only seems low to anyone who doesn't follow what TV ratings are doing right now. Whittaker's first episode was half a decade ago, viewership habits have changed a lot since then. 7 day figures should be out tomorrow after about 1pm.
I'm curious why you're so keen to read it as a disappointment?
I'm not 'keen to read it as a disappointment'. 5M and under, feels low, all things considered, that's all.
It's not really considering all things though: for a drama nowadays that's a high rating. There's occasional really exceptional once-in-a-blue-moon things like Vigil or Bodyguard or stuff like that, but as I said at the time, that was coming in as the 6th most watched programme in the entire country that week (likely to shunted down by further Strictly/Celeb instalments). The 7 day figure is looking like it could be around 9m... I'm not seeing the problem.
It may 'feel' low, but if you look into it it's really not. If it makes a total of 9m or thereabouts that could put it around 3rd or 4th that week (although I'm a Celeb has so many episodes a week that could push it down the list a fair bit) but would put it above Planet Earth, Bake Off, and all of the soaps. I guess it depends what you're expecting of a 17 year old show.
Unless I'm losing my mind.... that's not William Hartnell in that YouTube clip! It's actor David Bradley. When the people running the Doctor Who YT channel can't be bothered to get it right and post an inaccurate video title, oh boy.

The second special was great fun.
