Great article, thanks for the link. I grew up on these and still listen to them occasionally. When I read the books I see Jackson’s actors. But the voices come from the BBC version. And unprovoked, every so often I hear Gandalf “HmmAhh” in Hordern’s unmistakable tone

Wow! Never seen bts shots from the BBC Lord of the Rings. Fabulous to see Frodo, Bilbo & Strider together like this!

Either the first full story or the last! Love both Logopolis & Survival. But great camp performances in all his appearances. I was too young for Delgado, so Ainley is the Master I grew up with.

It’s a great show. Now that I live on the other side of the Atlantic it really becomes obvious how great the BBC is (not commenting on news editorial policy). No-one here makes shows like that. The closest would be the Amazing Race, but that is so much more “game show” and about the prize money

I think my next favourite would be the Byzantium-ish duo (Sailing to Sarantium & Lord of Emperors). But I can easily lose myself in any of them!

Absolutely the best intro imo.

One of his best IMO. Not yet started the latest, letting the anticipation build!

Hastings is the obvious call in Britain. Culloden maybe if you think the Jacobites had a real chance beforehand.

This. It’s the one show that consistently takes me back to the place in my head where I’m 8 years old. And the rest of the time that’s a very long time ago. Yes, there may be bad stories, or a companion or writer I’m less keen on; but the show will be back, renewed. “One Day I Will Come Back”

Oh yes definitely. I thought her version was terrible. Really pleased to see her in this

14 years? I wish I could find it, but there was a letter published in one of the UK papers to this effect early in Hartnell’s run. The internet just amplifies the noise.

When the Doctor first got on that and flew towards the camera my brain went “Flash! Ah! Ah!”

Great app. You’ll find yourself reaching for it whenever you hear birds. Of course that’s when the neighbour’s lawnmower will star up!

Saw a version of this many many years ago with the amazing Paul Darrow Avon-ing it up at Vimes.

Although I play Paragon, I do take most of the Renegade interrupts. Kicking the Eclipse guy out of the window is particularly satisfying. But Captain Plot Armour with his stupid sword can definitely fuck off and die.
