One Fact For Every Episode of Classic Doctor Who

0:00 Let's jump into the TARDIS. Hit the fast return switch as we talk about one fact from every single Doctor Who story. Season 1, Unearly Child. An Unearly Child was the first ever Doctor Who story, introducing us to the Doctor, his granddaughter Susan, and his two newest traveling companions, Ian and Barbara. Originally though, the characters of Susan, Ian, and Barbara all had different names. Susan would be called Bridget, but everyone called her Biddy. Barbara would be Lola McGovern, and Anne would be known as Cliff, apparently named after Cliff Richard. The names very 50s rather than 60s. The Daleks.

0:46 Doctor Who's most iconic monster appears in the second ever story in Doctor Who as the Doctor and his friends land on the planet Scarro. Can you imagine Doctor Who without the Daleks? Well, the second adventure was originally going to be called The Masters of Luxer, a story about a world run by robots. The script was written by Anthony Coven, who wrote an unearly child. Yet, the production team couldn't make the script work and it was ultimately shelved. It was later released as a big finished audio in 2012. I wonder if Doctor Who would have survived without the invention of the Daleks. It feels like their success is what guaranteed the show's longevity, the Edge of Destruction. After visiting

1:33 the past and the far future, the show steps sideways as the TARDIS begins to act unusual as the Doctor and his friends begin to turn on one another. After the production of An Unearly Child went over budget, it was negotiated that Doctor Who would only be formally commissioned for 13 episodes, meaning that after an unearly child and the Daleks, there was only two episodes left in this order. The Edge of Destruction was to fill this tiny gap. But after the show became a massive success, more episodes were ordered. Marco Polo. The Doctor and his traveling companions meet Marco Polo on his travels throughout Central Asia. The doctor's TARDIS is

2:18 taken captive as a gift for Kubla Khan. The story is missing from the BBC's archive with no surviving footage. Many stories throughout the 1960s were erased by the BBC in order to reuse the videotape they were recorded on. Copies of these episodes were made via a film recording, but many of these prints were either junked to make room for new film prints, lost their rebroadcasting rights, or were junked. As of the making of this video, 97 episodes of Doctor Who are missing from the BBC's archive. But who knows, more could exist in private collections. The Keys of Marinus. The TARDIS lands on the planet Marinus where they meet the Vaude. The travelers are

3:04 given a quest to locate five keys that have been spread across the planet. The Hartnull era was famous for its grueling production schedule, having between 39 to 45 episodes per season. In order to give the lead actors time off, the characters would have to conveniently disappear for a few episodes. This story was the first time we see this with William Hartnull going missing during episodes three and four. the Aztecs. The doctor and his friends arrive in Mexico in the 15th century and Barbara is mistaken for a god and the doctor gets engaged. To bring the large Aztec city on a BBC budget was an almost impossible task for the designers who were stuck

3:51 with the limitations of Lime Grove Studios. and director John Crockett and designer Barry Newbury lobbyed to get the production moved to Television Center, which had much larger studios. Varity Lambert, the producer, fought with the BBC to get studio 3 at Television Center and finally got approval. Unfortunately, they only got permission to film there for the first three episodes and returned to Lime Grove for part four. The Sensorites. The TARDIS lands on a spaceship in the far future where the crew are under attack by telepathic beings called the Sensorites. Russell T. Davies cited the sensorites as a major influence in the

4:36 design of the Ude. There is even a reference to the sensephere in Planet of the Oud where the doctor says the oud sphere is in the same star system as the sense sphere. I said sphere a lot. Then the reign of terror. Our travelers land in Paris during the French Revolution where they become involved with historical events that almost leads to the execution of the doctor's friends. The director of this story, Henrik Hirs, was quite inexperienced when it came to television directing, much to the disapproval of William Hartnull. Whilst episode 3 was being recorded, Hirs became ill and didn't finish the rest of the episode. The unusual part is no one

5:22 really knows who exactly directed the rest of the episode. It has been suggested that John Gory who directed Keys of Marinus took over the role but has no recollection of doing so. It has also been suggested that it could have possibly been Mvin Pinfield who had also directed the Sensorites and went on to direct many more Doctor Who stories. Hirs returned to direct the rest of the serial though. Season two, Planet of Giants. The travelers believe they've landed in a world made of giants, only to discover that they have been miniaturaturized. Planet of Giants was originally written and recorded as a four-part story, only to be edited down to only three episodes for broadcast.

6:08 The original episode 3 and four were never broadcast, but the original scripts remain. For the 2012 DVD release, a photo reconstruction was created for the original two episodes with William Russell and Caroline Ford, who played Ian and Susan, returned to record new audio with impersonators playing the role of the Doctor and Barbara since Hartnull and Hill had passed. The Dalek Invasion of Earth. The Doctor has finally returned Barbara and Ian to Earth, but he's got the time wrong. We're in the future and the doctor's newest enemy has returned, the Daleks. The Doctor's granddaughter, Susan, departs at the conclusion of this story, and a replacement companion was

6:54 needed. Originally, Rietary Nation was to write in a new character to replace Susan called Seda. She was to hide away in the TARDIS and at the end of the story would join the Tardis family. The character was rewritten to be called Jenny and Pamela Franklin was cast to play her. It was later decided not to go ahead with her character and a new companion would be introduced in the following story, The Rescue. The Doctor Ian and Barbara, now adjusting to life without Susan traveling with them, meets someone new, Vicki. The Rescue Holds as one of the show's most watched stories of all time, including the new series. Episode 1 reached 12 million viewers,

7:40 and episode 2 beat that with 13 million viewers. So, if you think about it, Cochillion has more fans than the Weeping Angels. Well, not really, but we can play pretend, can't we? The Romans. Landing in ancient Rome, the Doctor and his friends enjoy a well-earned vacation. That is until the Doctor and Vicki get separated from Barbara and Ian. This is the first Doctor Who story to be written to be a complete comedy. Originally, they were going to do a parody of the 1951 film Quo Vardis, but decided against it when discovering that Carry on Cleo was going to be released at a similar time to the story and doing the exact same idea of paring that film.

8:27 Yet, The Romans is still a comedy centered around Emperor Nero, the Web Planet. The Tardis travelers land on Vortis where they encounter gigantic insects who are being mind controlled by the Animus. To enhance the alien nature of the creatures, choreographer Rosland Winter was hired to instruct the actors how the zombie and other aliens should move. She was given the unique credit of insect movement. Having a choreographer was unusual for the classic series, only being used in a few stories, mainly for dancing sequences. But in the new series, it was quite common to have a dedicated choreographer for all monster movements. The Crusade in 12th century Palestine, Barbara gets kidnapped by

9:14 Saladin as the Doctor and his friends make their way to King Richard's palace. The story features the first appearance of Gene Marsh as Joanna. She would later go on to play temporary companion Sarah Kingdom in the Dalek's master plan only seven stories later. She would also go on to play Moana in the seventh doctor story Battlefield. This becomes a recurring element in the production of Doctor Who. Colin Baker would play a guard in the Peter Davidson era only to go on to play the sixth doctor. Many other stars like Freema Aiman, Eve Miles, Peter Capaldi, and even Billy Piper. So if you're on Doctor Who as a guest part, you might have a chance to take on the role of the Doctor or a companion. Next, the space museum. On

10:01 the planet Xeros, a space museum stands. The doctor and friends find the place deserted, only to find out that they've been shifted out of time. In the original script, writer Glenn Jones wrote a lot more comedic elements, which were later removed by script editor Dennis Spooner. You can see some remnants of this approach by the villains names Morox being a play on the word and Lobos staying in for labbotomy. The chase. The Daleks are back again and they are chasing the Doctor and his friends throughout time and space leading to the departure of the Doctor's traveling companions Barbara and Ian. Although Doctor Who is infamous for junking many of its earlier

10:48 episodes, this story is famous for saving a piece of Beatles history. In the story, the Doctor and his friends watch a Beatles performance on the Time Space Visualizer. The clip is taken from Top of the Pops from an episode that was eventually junked. This is the only surviving copy of that performance. Sadly, this scene has been edited out of many releases due to not wanting to pay the copyright fees. Apparently, the Beatles were interested in appearing in Doctor Who, but their manager didn't like the idea of that. If it did happen, I think that would have been the most 60s thing to ever happen to Doctor Who. The Time Edler. The Doctor bumps into another time traveler, this time from his home planet, the monk. This is the

11:35 show's first ever pseudoistorical, a story that is set in the past with science fiction elements rather than telling a pure historical story. This began to really set the standard of most stories set in the past from here onwards with only a handful of pure historicals in the future. Season 3, Galaxy 4. A war has broken out on a planet in a distant future. Who really are the bad guys? the Ugly Reels or the Beautiful Dravens. After the story was broadcast, producer John Wilds investigated to find out if the BBC had the rights of the Dravens or if it was in the hands of writer William M. Could that imply that he was thinking about

12:20 making the Dravens have a return to the series? Could we have finally seen Galaxies 1 to three? Ultimately, we have not seen their return to the series since the writing of this video, and I'd be very surprised if we ever saw them again. Mission to the Unknown. Dalek sources have been spotted in the skies of Kemble, and Mark Cory, a space security agent, has been sent out to investigate, and what he discovers is a galaxy stretching plot to destroy the solar system. This is an unusual episode of Doctor Who. Being only one episode and not featuring any of the main cast, acting as a prequel to a story later on this season, the Dalek's Master Plan, it

13:06 sets up the Dalek's oncoming threat. Ultimately, the episode is missing from the BBC's archive, and no telly snaps were taken, so it's unsure how this episode looked and what the main character costumes even looked like. The Mythmakers. In ancient Troy, the Doctor is mistaken for Zeus and when discovered he is just a mere mortal, becomes imprisoned and forced to help the Greeks invade Troy. Francis De Wolf, who played Agamenmon, had also appeared in a film called Carry On Cleo, where he played a gripper. For the myth makers, he wore the exact same costume as he wore in Carry On Cleo. We mentioned this film earlier in the Roman section. The Dark's

13:51 master plan. The Darks have created the ultimate weapon, the Time Destructor, and intend to use it to conquer the solar system and then the outer galaxies. This story features the first ever Christmas special titled The Feast of Steven. The Doctor and his friends Steven and Sarah find themselves in a series of silly adventures at a police station, an old silent movie set, and finally in the Tardis, where it ends with a doctor wishing the viewer at home a happy Christmas. Unfortunately, this episode is most likely to never return to the archive due to it never being copied for international broadcast. Australia is the only country to have purchased broadcasting rights to Screen the Dark's master plan, but left out

14:38 Feast of Steven since it wouldn't have been broadcast at Christmas time. We're very lucky that we have off-air audio recording and also some off-air photographs so it can be somewhat remembered. The Massacre. The Doctor and Steven become separated in 16th century France during high tensions between the Protestant Hugenos and the Catholics. In this story, William Hartnull plays a second role as the Abbott of Amboir. But due to the story being missing and very few photographs surviving, we are unsure what his costume would have looked like. The Ark. The Doctor and Steven take their latest traveling companion, Dodo, to the far future where they land on a starship, which is transporting humans

15:24 away from a dying Earth. The art carried not just humans, but also animals. The story features a real life elephant and a variety of other animals. The night before filming, Monica the elephant stayed at director Michael Emerson's house because Eling Studios refused to let her park her van at the studios. Well, the elephant owner's van, not Monica's personal van. I don't think elephants can drive. The celestial toy maker. The Doctor and his friends land in the realm of the toy maker, who forces them to play distorted and twisted games, which could lead them to their ultimate demise. Peter Pervvis, who played Steven Taylor, often tells a story at conventions that he took the

16:10 trilogic game prop home with him after filming, and after leaving the show, he found it difficult to find work. He felt as if the trilogic game prop was a bad omen. And once he disposed of it, he got a job offer the next day. The gunfighters. The Tardis team arrive in the Wild West and bump into Doc Holiday at the infamous Okay Corral. Although the Doctor had visited America briefly in other stories such as New York in the Chase, this is the first story set entirely in America. Although the classic series featured American companion Perry Brown, we actually meet her when she's on vacation, so we never set foot in her home country. The next time we're in America throughout the entire story is in the Paul Mcan TV

16:57 movie, The Savages. In the far future, on a distant planet, the elders of this world are draining the life essence of the savages outside the city. The Doctor fights to stop them. Throughout the Hartnull era, each individual episode was given its own title. For example, episode one of the gunfighters is called a holiday for the doctor. Starting with this story, that format changes to calling the entire story one name. And each episode, episode 1, episode 2, etc. The war machines. We land in London during the swinging 60s where a terrifying new technology is being developed. a machine that links all computers together like some sort of worldwide web. This machine called Votan

17:45 is planning to take on the world with its dreaded war machines. This story is one of the few instances in the show's history where a character calls the doctor Doctor Who. Votan instructs the hypnotized Dodo by saying Doctor Who is required. Bring him here. which is exactly what I say to convention organizers here in Australia. Bring me David Tenant. Season 4, The Smugglers. New companions, Pirates and Cornwall, the Doctor and his now reluctant traveling companions Ben and Polly meet Captain Pike, who is looking for lost treasure. The Matt Smith story, The Curse of the Black Spot, is technically a prequel to the story with characters in the smugglers mentioning Captain

18:32 Avery and his treasure throughout this entire story. Even some of the pirates were former crew mates with him. The 10th Planet, the Doctor encounters one of his greatest adversaries for the first time, the Cybermen, a race of once human-like people who slowly converted themselves into machine. Luckily, episodes 1 to three of the 10th planet survive. But unfortunately, episode 4, arguably the most important episode and a monumental episode in Doctor Who's history, is sadly missing. Also, during episode 3, William Hartner was unwell and couldn't make it set. Therefore, the last surviving episode of his era doesn't even feature him in it. The

19:17 Power of the Daleks. The Doctor has been renewed. or is he an impostor? Ben and Polly are unsure, but time is running out as the doctor's greatest enemies emerge, the Daleks. In an early draft by David Whitaker, the doctor's regeneration and what that meant was still being developed. Hints of doctors before Hartnull were suggested, referencing an old earring and a bracelet. Interestingly, there was also a hint that the Doctor's home world was destroyed by the Daleks, something that would come to pass in the new series, The Highlanders. The Doctor and his friends arrive in Scotland in 1746 where they meet a group of Jakobites who

20:03 are captured by the Red Coats. This story meets new companion Jaime Mcrimman, but originally he wasn't meant to join the TARDIS crew. It wasn't until after production of the story was completed that Fraser Hines was asked if he would like to join the show and they reshot the ending of the story to have him join the TARDIS. The underwater menace. The doctor and his friends discovered the lost world of Atlantis. A mad scientist named Zarof is planning on draining the oceans to make the planet explode. The story features a rare moment of internal monologue. We can hear the doctor, Ben, Polly, and Jamie thinking about where they'd like the TARDIS to travel to. But in the animation, they just made them speak the lines. The moon base. The TARDIS lands

20:50 on the moon, and a familiar foe is lurking in the background. People are getting sick and Jaime falls victim to the plague. Victor Peton, who would go on to be script editor from the evil of the Daleks to the Ice Warriors, appears in the story as one of the employees on the moon base. This makes him the first person to have acted on the show before writing for it. He would eventually go on to write Fury from the Deep. The Macrror. On first glance, this appears to be a happy colony with happy citizens, but underneath lies control, and control must be obeyed. This story marks the first time the opening titles had been reworked with brand new visuals which feature Patrick Troutton's face appears. Although a new theme tune was

21:38 produced, it doesn't appear until The Faceless Ones episode 2. This version of the theme tune lasted all the way until 1979 with only some minor changes along the way. The Faceless Ones. At Gatwick Airport, young people are boarding planes, never to be seen again. The Doctor and his friends are on the case, but Polly and Ben decide to stay behind. During the production of the serial, the team were on a hunt for a new companion. They cast their eyes to Pauline Collins, who played Samantha Briggs. Ultimately, she decided to turn down the role, but she did appear in Doctor Who again in the new series as Queen Victoria in Tooth and Claw, The Evil of the Daleks.

22:25 The Daleks are looking to evolve, to learn what the human factor is, to understand why they have been beaten by them over and over again. They meet a new friend in Victoria Waterfield, and together they witnessed the fall of the Dalek Emperor. Tyrannia, inventor of the Daleks, was looking to create an Americanfunded spin-off show based around the Daleks. Because he owned the rights to the Daleks, he asked the Doctor Who production office to stop using them. whilst he was trying to sell the series. The Evil of the Daleks was written to give a big sendoff to the Daleks and witness their final end. No spin-off was ever produced, and the Daleks returned again during John Pery's era and made small cameos in between.

23:11 Season 5, The Tomb of the Cybermen. On the planet Telos, a familiar menace is awakening from their cryogenic tombs, the Cybermen. This story was rediscovered and returned to the BBC's archive in 1991 when it was released on VHS. The excitement surrounding it made it out sell the video release of Silence of the Lambs for one whole week. The Abonomal Snowmen in Tibet, the legend of the Yeti has become a fact, but behind the creature's fur lies a controlling voice that is much more powerful than the fist of the Yeti. This story featured the longest location filming of any serial up to this point at Snowonia.

23:58 Director Gerald Blake hoped the landscape would be similar to the snowy Himalayas, but unfortunately it rained throughout the entire shoot, meaning that no snow was on the ground. The ice warriors. Earth has been plunged into another ice age and a frozen body is found within the ice. Little do they know, they have uncovered an alien threat from the planet Mars. Instead of using stock footage of a bear attack, the director bravely decided to hire a bear themselves and record it as part of some preliminary filming. The total cost to hire a bear in the 1960s for a day of filming, £70. The enemy of the world. In the far distant year of 2018, the Doctor and his friends encounter a dictator

24:45 named Salamandanda who looks exactly like the Doctor. This story features a slight visual upgrade to the image quality of Doctor Who. Before the serial, Doctor Who was shot on 405 line standard videotape and now was shot on 625 lines. That's a whole 220 more lines. It's a hard out Disney 4K budget. The Weber fear. The Tardis team encounter the Yeti again, but this time in the London Underground. Originally, the production team investigated to see if they could film the story in the real London Underground, but due to the high cost, it was deemed unsuitable and instead recreated the spaces in studio.

25:30 Apparently, when the story aired on television, the BBC received a complaint from the London Underground accusing them of filming there without permission. I bet the set designers felt pretty good about themselves after hearing that. Fury from the deep. There is a strange sound coming from the pipes, and no one knows what it is. Something is alive down there, and it's coming to take over humanity. Victoria was required to scream multiple times at the conclusion of this story, but unfortunately she couldn't do it because she was recovering from a cold. So the scream you hear is from assistant floor manager Marggo Heiho whilst Deborah Watling mindd it. And yes, that is her

26:16 real name. The wheel in space. The Doctor and Jaime mourn the departure of Victoria and set off into the future where they meet a new friend in Zoey. Unusually for Doctor Who, the story ends with the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie watching the story evil of the Daleks on the TARDIS scanner, which was done because they were going to rebroadcast his serial after the season completed. Narratively, it's the Doctor showing Zoe what she was to expect when traveling in the TARDIS. funnily enough, the footage they use in the recap is from the missing episode 1. So, we gain a few seconds of footage from a missing episode, season 6, the Dominators. The TARDIS team is ready for a holiday.

27:03 Unfortunately, their destination is under threat of a massive bomb. Originally, the story was six parts, but was edited down by Derek Sherwin. The original writers, Mvin Hayesman and Henry Lincoln, who wrote the Aonomous Snowman and Web of Fear, were displeased with the re-edits and asked for their names to be removed from the story. The Mind Robber. The Doctor and Friends arrive in the land of fiction and find themselves surrounded by fictional characters. The danger is very real, though. Can they escape back to their universe? Episode 5 is the shortest episode of classic Doctor Who. standing at only 18 minutes. One of the main reasons for this is because the story was being extended from four episodes to

27:50 five due to the last story being cut down. The invasion Tobias Thorne is a powerful man, but is he powerful enough to truly control the Cybermen? Is he the Cyberman's ally or merely their puppet? This story is the only eight-part serial in the entirety of classic Doctor Who, but originally it was conceived to be a lot shorter. But when the next planned serial, The Dream Spinner, fell through, this story was expanded. I think it's pretty safe to say that season 6, behind the scenes script-wise, really struggled in the production process. The Crotons. The Crotons are draining the mental energy of the Gongs with the hope they will help them rebuild their bodies. The

28:37 execution of the design of the Croton was in the hand of Jack Lovevel Limited. Unfortunately, they constructed the creatures at the wrong scale. They were given a skirt in order to cover the operator's legs. They were yet another attempt to replace the Daleks, which didn't quite catch on. Let's just say that. The seeds of death. The Earth's moon has been taken over by yet another force. This time, the Ice Warriors. Wendy Padbury was really taken with her costume in this story that she asked to keep it. The BBC made her pay before filming and by the time the story was over, it was destroyed by wet paint. The space pirates. The Tardis team land in a space beacon in the far future when it

29:24 is attacked by pirates. Space Pirates. This is the final Doctor Who story that has missing episodes. Some of John Perley's stories are missing their original tapes, leading to lesser quality copies, but they are still watchable. The Space Pirates episode 2 is the only surviving episode of the serial, making episode 6 the latest missing episode. The War Games. The Travelers arrive in World War I. Well, they think they have. In reality, they have landed in the domain of the warlord. The story is the first time we hear the term time lord, and it's the first time we see the doctor's home world, not yet christen Gal of Fray. The time lords seem a lot more powerful,

30:12 even godlike. During the regeneration, we don't see the change over to John Perwe since the final casting hadn't been made by the time that the pref filmed inserts were recorded. Season 7: Spearhead from space. The Doctor, recently regenerated, is exiled to Earth as a threat from beyond the stars rains down on the planet. This, alongside the TV movie, are the only two complete classic series stories shot entirely on film. Historically, Doctor Who was shot on videotape, leading to its digital look. They would typically only shoot on film if they were on location, but due to a strike, they were forced to shoot the entire serial on film on location.

30:59 The Silurans. Beneath the Wenley Moore nuclear research facility lies an ancient civilization which is beginning to awaken from their slumber. The Silurans. During the 1960s, it was common practice to play all the incidental music whilst the episode was being shot. This story marks the first time the music was added in post-prouction. Many 1960s Doctor Who actors always talked about how the theme tune used to unnerve them because once it started playing in studio, it was about to begin. The ambassadors of death. Mars probe 7 hadn't responded to any of Earth's messages for months. A mission brings the probe back to Earth, and it's only the beginning of the

31:46 nightmare. Originally, this story was pitched as a second Doctor adventure with Jaime and Zoe for season 6. Ultimately, it was pushed to this season. I wonder what it would have been like with them instead. On a side note, a few months ago, one of my friends thought it'd be a really great idea to torture our friends who weren't Doctor Who fans to watch this story. And these are the only two quotes I can legally share. One said, "More effective than Nyquil." And the other one said, "At least John Perwe is hot." Inferno. Drilling into the Earth's crust is proving to be more dangerous than initially thought when Green Slime begins turning the crew into monsters and the Doctor is sent to a parallel

32:33 universe. This is the only John Perie finale not to be written by Robert Sloman. Slowman would go on to write The Dams, The Tie Monster, The Green Death, and Planet of the Spiders. Season 8, Terror of the Autumns. We meet the master, the doctor's nemesis from his home planet for the first time as he works alongside a familiar foe, the Autoons. If you check the credits, you will notice there is no director listed. That is because during this time at the BBC, it wasn't allowed for a producer to also direct one of their own episodes. Barrier got special permission from the BBC to allow him to direct a serial each

33:19 season. The mind of evil. Professor Keller has invented a machine to pacify the mind and Stangmar prison is utilizing it on their prisoners. In this story, the doctor was required to speak Chinese. Pixen Lim, co-star and partner of the story's writer, taught John Perwe how to deliver the lines correctly using the Hokian dialect. The clause of Axos. When a spaceship crashes with beings offering the end of world hunger, things seem too good to be true, and they are. Originally, this story was titled The Vampire from Space, but the BBC asked to avoid the word vampire. The original title was still being used up to the

34:05 production began on episode 3, Colony in Space. The Doctor is granted a break from his exile on Earth and transported to a distant planet on a mission from the Time Lords. Head of drama serals Ronnie Marsh objected to the idea of Susan Jameson playing the role of Morgan. He believed the idea of a dominating woman would come across as sexual. She was replaced by Tony Cter and she was paid in full since she had already signed the contract. Director Michael Bryant was very unhappy that sexism stopped her from playing the role. The demons. On a dark and stormy night, an ancient demon is being summoned by the master in the village of Devil's End. Due to the story drawing

34:52 inspiration from religious themes, there were many changes made to the original script in order to make it appropriate for the BBC bosses. The crypt was always referred to as a cavern. The master's summoning incarnation was Mary had a little lamb but backwards and the word god couldn't be used. Season 9: Day of the Daleks. In order to stop a new world war, freedom fighters from the future travel back in time to stop it from happening. Oh, and the Daleks are there. The Dalek's last proper appearance outside of cameos was in Evil of the Daleks. In that story, the Daleks are tired of humans beating them. So attempt to find the human factor. Once they found it, it led to their destruction.

35:38 Originally, Day of the Daleks was to have a scene where the Doctor and the Daleks discussed this and how they destroyed the human factor from affecting the Daleks, but was cut due to time. The Curse of Peladon. On the planet Peladon, the Doctor and Joe find themselves in a high tension situation with the Galactic Federation. No new Ice Warrior costumes were produced for this story. By some luck, the original costumes from the ice warriors were still intact. The sea devils, the master is imprisoned. Or is he? Meanwhile, creatures from the deep are rising to take back their land. Originally, the doctor was to arrive at the prison via water skis, which would have been an

36:24 incredible visual, if not completely ridiculous. But due to poor weather conditions, this was discarded. The mutants. The time lords have sent the doctor on yet another mission to deliver a message that would change the world of Solos. This is not the first Doctor Who story to be given the title The Mutants. The first ever Dalek serial has also been known as The Mutants. The Time Monster. The Master is developing a device to bring Kronos into our universe and use its power for evil purposes. The TARDIS interior got a slight rework for this story where the Roundells were given odd bowls attached to them. The design did not return to the program

37:11 down to the prop becoming damaged and also the producer not liking the design. Season 10, the Three Doctors. The doctor encounters his greatest enemy yet, himself. The first three doctors must come together to battle the ancient time lord Omega. Originally, second Doctor companion Jamie Mcrimman was supposed to appear and even have a romance subplot with Joe Grant, but his work on Emaddale prevented him from appearing. There were even plans to film a short cameo of him in the Tardis, bringing the second doctor back to his original timeline. But that was eventually scrapped. Carnival of Monsters. The Doctor and Joe land on a cargo ship in 1926.

37:57 And when a giant pleosaurus rises from the ocean, the doctor knows that something is seriously wrong with the SS Bernese. In episode 1, when the TARDIS arrives in the cargo hold, the doctor and Joe encounter some chickens. Instead of using a stock sound effect for the chickens, Katie Manning generously provided her own vocal talents to play the chickens clucking, a talent that she had apparently mastered as a child. Frontier and Space tensions between Earth and Draconia have reached a fever pitch. But can the Doctor and Joe reveal the true menace driving the conflict before it's too late? This story brings back the ogrons who work for the master, but originally there were plans for the master to work with the Cybermen. Yet,

38:44 this was only in the original concept stages. Who knows, in an alternate timeline, we would have had a third Doctor Cyberman episode, Planet of the Daleks. The Doctor is Comomaos, and Joe is left stranded on the planet Spiriton, looking for help. This is the first time Terry Nation had written for Doctor Who since 1965 with the Dalek's master plan. And during this era, each individual episode had its own title. For the original scripts he submitted, he names each episode in that way.

40:18 means he pronounces everything correctly. Invasion of the Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs appear in London and the city evacuates. But how did they get here?

45:38 the Daleks. The first being the keys of Marinus, the brain of MorbiiUs. The time lord Morbiiius needs a new body and the scientist Solon has his eyes on the doctors. This story has become more topical in recent years when the idea of preheartal doctors were discussed in the timeless children. In the brain of Morbiiius, the Doctor and MorbiiUs have a mind battle where the other faces of the Doctor appear, played by members of production. In the Timeless Children, this scene is shown to demonstrate these as preheartal doctors, further clarifying producer Philip Hinchcliff's original intention, the seeds of doom.

In 1980, only 3 years after the first broadcast in the UK, The Talent of Wiiang was dropped by TV Ontario in Canada due to complaints about its depiction of Chinese people. The Chinese Canadian National Council used these words when describing the cereal, dangerous, offensive, racist stereotyping to associate the Chinese with everything fearful and despicable. I'm using this fact because I hear a lot of excuses for the racism of the story as it was of its time when it really wasn't. Because if there were complaints literally 3 years after the first

49:29 broadcast, it wasn't of its time. If you like this story, instead of defending the racist elements, be aware of them and disapprove of them whilst enjoying the elements you do like. Season 15, Horror of Fang Rock. In an old lighthouse on Fang Rock, a creature from another world is creeping the staircase looking for its next victim.

50:14 before it's too late. They meet a new friend in K9. Last season, a new Tardis interior was introduced with a wooden look. This cereal saw the return of the white Tardis interior. This was down to the wooden props warping in storage and also the new producer Graeme Williams just preferring the original design. image of the Fendal. A fossilized skull begins to glow. It's alive and it's going to kill. K9 barely appears in this story due to his addition to the program being a lastminute decision when the producers thought he'd make a great member of the Tardis team during the production of the previous story, The Sun Makers. In the far future, the

51:00 planet Pluto is a new Earth colony. Beneath the city, rebels are working together to overthrow their oppressors.

No, not the Minions, the Minions as they go forward on their quest to find a genetic bank that will ensure the future of their species. This story struggled with financing with discussions talking about cancelling the story altogether and moving the budget into the finale, The Invasion of Time.

51:46 filmed on green screen. The invasion of time. The Doctor arrives at the Citadel on Gal of Fray and demands to be crowned president.

The first destination, the planet Reebos, and the Doctor has been sent a new companion, Romana. This season contains the first series long ark,

Shortly after episode 4 was to air, it would be Doctor Who's 15th anniversary. And originally, there was a scene where Ramana throws a birthday party for the doctor by giving him a birthday cake for his 7th1st birthday, but this was ultimately not filmed, but the cake was ordered, so the cast and crew got to eat it. The androids of Tara on the planet Tara, the doctor and Ramana locate the fourth piece of the key to time, but get

54:02 involved with the politics on the planet. Mary Tam actually helped design her outfit for this story after costume designer Dorene James had designed a piece made of tweed which Mary Tam felt would feel uncomfortable. The power of Croll on the swampy delta Magna. The Doctor and Romana encounter the great god Croll as they find the fifth segment of the key to time.

Therefore, K9's voice actor John Le was given another role to play as the character Dugen, the Armageddon factor. The final segment of

54:48 the key to time is almost in the doctor and Romana's reach, but they get embroiled in a war between Atrios and Zos.

Deep beneath the surface of Scarro, the creator of the Daleks, Davos, is about to be resurrected. This is Terry Nation's final writing credit for Doctor Who and was quite annoyed at Douglas Adams

The Doctor and Romana land in Paris where they encounter time experiments. This story got one of the highest ratings in Doctor Who's history with episode 4 getting 16.1 million viewers. Although it was wellreceived at the time with the audiences, the main reason for this high rating was due to a strike occurring at ITV, meaning viewers switched to the BBC instead. The Creature from the Pit. The Doctor and Romano land on a distant planet where they encounter well a creature in a pit. I don't know what you want me to say.

56:20 This was the first story of the season to be shot and discussions on how different Romana 2 would be to Romana 1 were not really discussed. La Ward found it difficult being given a costume similar to something Mary Tam would have worn and was still trying to find her feet cuz she didn't want to replicate her performance. Eventually after the story, she introduced her own unique take on the character Nightmare of Eden. The doctor and Romana encounter a space liner that is being used to smuggle drugs. This story is infamous for its behindthescenes drama with its production. Director Alan Brmley struggled to understand how to film such a technically complicated show like Doctor Who and was eventually fired

On the planet Sconos, young people are being sacrificed to the great Nimon. The Nimon be praised. But how many Nimon have you seen today?

Sharta, the Doctor, and Romana visit an old friend, Professor Kronotus, but are interrupted by an evil scientist named

57:51 Scagra, ultimately leading to a confrontation on the time lord prison, Sharda. Sharta was unfortunately never completed due to strikes at the BBC. Some scenes were shot, primarily a lot of location footage and scenes within Professor Kronotus' office. Over the years, fans in the BBC have attempted to complete the story from an eighth doctor audio adaptation, a fan-made animation, and eventually an official BBC animation. And because of the official animation, I've included it in this list. Season 18, The Leisure Hive. The Doctor and Romana intend on having a welldeserved holiday, but unfortunately find themselves at the mercy of the Vamasi. Did somebody just mention Vamasi? Tensions on set were at a fever

58:38 pitch yet again when Tom Baker and Laawward's love affair was on the rocks. There were many points where they refused to talk to each other. This story is the beginning of John Nathan Turner's reign as producer, and many radical changes to the show's look and feel begins here. Megalos. The Doctor and Romana encounter Megalos, a being who looks like a cactus that can transform their body to look like other people. This story features the first use of scene sync, which was a motion tracking technique that was used to match camera movements of green screen footage and model shots. This way, both cameras would move in tandem, making for a more convincing look. Full circle. The doctor and Romana meet Adri on the

59:23 planet Alzerius as they encounter the Marsh men. Writer Andrew Smith was only 17 years old when he wrote this story and was a lifelong Doctor Who fan and still is. He was the youngest writer in the entire classic series. State of Decay. The doctor and Romana and Adri land in a town seemingly ran by vampires, but things aren't what they appear. Tom Baker was at his least cooperative during the story. He wasn't on speaking terms with Lala Ward. He told Matthew Waterhouse to piss off and argued at length with director Peter Muffet. During this time, he was quite unwell, having lost a lot of weight and his natural curly hair. After a lot of

1:00:09 resistance, he finally got medical help and begun to improve. Warriors Gate, a gateway offers an exit from espace for the TARDIS travelers, and they must find a way through it.

It was suggested that either Sarah Jane or Leela should return in order to bridge the gap, but ultimately decided against it. Season 19, Castraalva. The doctor's regeneration is off to a rocky start as they head to the planet Castraalva in order to heal the doctor. This is the first time that the credits list the actor playing the doctor as the doctor.

1:01:40 Previously, they were credited as Doctor Who. Four to Doomsday. The travelers land on a spaceship populated by people from different time zones and places from Earth. This was the first fulllength Doctor Who story that Peter Davidson filmed. This was for two reasons. One, his original opening story was shelved and a new story was to be written. And two, it gave Davidson a chance to get into character. Kinder on Da Loka, the Mara takes over the mind of Tegan. This story does not feature Nissa throughout the entire story. There are a few conflicting accounts for this. One account says that she wasn't cast when the script was being written, therefore they had nothing for her to do. And

1:02:26 another account by Sarah Sutton said that she was only ever contracted for 24 of the 26 episodes anyway, so it was planned from the start. Maybe there is truth in both statements. The visitation, the doctor misses Heathrow airport yet again. Well, the location is right, but not the right century. Meanwhile, an alien threat is on the loose. The Terleptos. Eric Sewood has written many stories for the TV show that usually feature returning villains such as the Cybermen or the Daleks, but this story is the only one where he didn't write a recurring villain, Black Orchid. The travelers arrive in the 1920s when they encounter Niss's doppelganger and have to solve a murder.

1:03:12 According to Peter Davidson, the story was originally written as a generic murder mystery plot that was retrofitted to be a Doctor Who story by writer Terrence Dudley, which would explain why it kind of lacks some of the typical Doctor Who elements. Earth Shock. The Earth is threatened with its final destruction before it's even become the world we know today. This is the only time in Doctor Who's history where the end credits are presented without any music accompanying it. Time flight. The doctor finally gets Tegan back to Heathrow.

An ancient evil of Gal of Fray has returned and the Doctor must stop him. This story features Colin Baker as Commander Maxel. His character was to wear a helmet, but due to its height, it would constantly bump into doorways, meaning he had to just carry it around all the time. He lovingly referred to the helmet as a chicken since it looked like one. Baker was a fan of the show and was excited to be on it, but was kind of upset that taking on

1:04:43 this role means that he could never go on to play the Doctor Snake Dance. Tegan thought she escaped the Mara back on Davoka, but the nightmares have returned, pulling her to the planet Manusa for one final showdown. The head of serals was concerned that the story was too confusing and wanted to shel it. But producer John Nathan Turner and script editor Eric Sewood compromised by saying that the rest of the season would have more conventional stories to balance it out. Morrin undead. The Black Guardian recruits school boy Turlo to eradicate the Doctor once and for all. The Doctor also encounters his old friend, the Brigadier. Originally, this story was to feature the return of William Russell's Ian Chessetin, one of

1:05:30 the Doctor's first companions. This makes a lot more sense when viewing the story being set at a school because Ian was a science teacher. Unfortunately, Russell was committed to a stage play at the time and couldn't return to the program. Harry Sullivan was suggested as a replacement before falling on the brigadier. Terminus. The TARDIS collides with the space liner after Turlo attempts to destroy the ship. Nissa becomes infected and she must say goodbye to the doctor, Tegan, and Turlo.

1:06:16 Tardis team land on a sailing ship, but not as all as it seems. There is a scene where Turlo has to throw himself overboard, and he seriously injured himself doing so when the mechanism intended to soften the fall didn't work. This story is also one of the few instances where the story was written and directed by a woman with enlightenment being written by Barbara Kle and directed by the excellent Fiona The King's Demons, the TARDIS lands in 1215 where the travelers encounter King Jon who is entertained by the Doctor and his friends, calling them his demons. This is the first and second to last appearance of Chameleon. He was originally given a scene in the awakening, but since the episode

1:07:01 Overran, they cut it. He makes his final appearance in Planet of Fire. He was originally going to be given a larger role, but difficulties in using the robot prop made that impossible. The five doctors, the doctor is fading away. His previous lives are being taken out of time, and the doctor must return to Gal of Fray and enter the death zone before it's too late. This story was co-produced with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, who gave the BBC $60,000 dues to get the show done. So, you basically have me to thank for the five doctors. You're welcome. Season 21, Warriors of the Deep. In the year 2084, the TARDIS arrives on Seabase 4 as

1:07:46 it is attacked by the Silurans and the Sea Devils. It was during the making of the story where Peter Davidson and Janet Fielding both decided they would be leaving the program at the end of the season. The awakening reenactments of an English civil war are being played out, but a psychic being is fueling their games. This story features a slightly reworked version of Peter Davidson's costume with a brand new jumper, trousers, and shirt. Frontios. On the planet Frontios, the TARDIS is destroyed, leaving the Doctor and his friends stranded with the creepy cruy Tractaters. Originally, writer Christopher H. Bidme had intended the Tractaters to use human remains as part of their machinery, but was asked to

1:08:32 remove it from the scripts because it was deemed unsuitable for children. Resurrection of the Daleks. The Doctor is reunited with his greatest enemies, the Daleks, as he says goodbye to one of his longest friends, Tegan. This was the first time Doctor Who would be presented in a 45minute episode format. This wasn't the original intention, though. It was changed due to the 1984 Winter Olympics, which needed more air time. So, originally, it was four 25-minute episodes, and they put two episodes together each into 45 minutes. Doctor Who would return to the 45minute format intentionally with Colin Baker's first season and the debut of the new series would also see it as the standard length. Planet of Fire. The Doctor

1:09:19 encounters a new traveling companion in Perry as he says goodbye to Turlo on the planet S. This is the only fifth Doctor television story that doesn't have some sort of appearance from Janet Fielding, the caves of Andreani. The Doctor must make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the life of his latest traveling companion, Perry. There are two moments on set that nearly injured Peter Davidson. The first was when Shah's Jack was supposed to backhand the doctor, but accidentally hit him properly. The second being a mistime explosion on the surface of the planet. Peter Davidson joked that the production team were actually trying to kill him off. The Twin Dilemma. The doctor after his regeneration is having an identity

1:10:04 crisis. His companion Perry is suffering because of it. The doctor strangles Perry in the story, making it the only time the Doctor has tried to kill one of

…
