Doctor Who, season 3 continues … Four of the remaining five episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan are missing from the BBC archive but I’m watching a modern CGI animated version of those episodes thanks to Who Recons. The adventure pretty much continues as before, but a curious thing happens […]

Doctor Who, season 3 continues … This one is another CGI one recreated thanks to the clever people at Who Recons.  It’s a bit of a surreal episode and all that you’ve heard about it is correct. It’s detached from The Daleks’ Master Plan, but that’s not really an issue […]

Doctor Who, season 3 continues … The Daleks’ Master Plan is the title of an epic 12-part Doctor Who adventure featuring the first Doctor, William Hartnell.  Most of the story is no longer in the BBC archives and so I’ll be watching most episodes thanks to CGI recreations from Who […]

Doctor Who, season 2 continued … Due to the “missing” nature of some early Doctor Who adventures, I only have the audio version of The Warlords.Once again the “older” Ian Chesterton’s scene (from the original BBC VHS release, included in the DVD set) details as much as is necessary of […]

Doctor Who, season 2 continued … The third episode of The Crusades returns to visual as well as audio, giving us a much clearer understanding of what the cliffhanger was all about. Barbara is kept hidden by a hated enemy of El Akir, who himself is shortly captured.  In trying to […]

Doctor Who, season 2 continued … Due to the “missing” nature of some early Doctor Who adventures, The Knight of Jaffa is reviewed here as the audio version. It’s difficult to get a true understanding of the episode without the visuals and, indeed, the last few minutes prior to and […]

Doctor Who, season 2 continued … What a exceptional first episode of The Crusade! Preceded by a lovely introduction by Ian Chesterton (looking like an older William Russell), reminiscing about his time with the Doctor, the episode begins in a forest in Jaffa with King Richard and his hawk leading […]
