@DialMforMara The Ice Warriors isn't missing ALL of it's episodes, though - I just mean the stories with no suriving episodes

So there's a section in this story where the doctor dresses up as an old woman to get passed some guards. Should I make a note of this in my reccomendation, or should I just ignore it?

footnote: while not intended to be an educational story, one of the 5th doctor stories was set in the past and contained no sci-fi element.

And now: The Highlanders, which is also completely missing.

Fun Trivia: The Highlanders is the last* of the "historical" stories – the show was originally conceived as having a mixture of historical stories (to teach kids history) and sci fi stories. But the historical stories were hated by the production team, and rarely were as engaging as the sci-fi stories, so they were abandoned - all subsequent stories set in the past also contained a sci-fi element.

@catgirl oh no!

@BatElite except.... if you scroll down 1 line you see that we've moved on to the next doctor, so it's not that much of a spoiler

I'll rephrase that, though....

I'm noticing that, in general, the stories that are completely missing are usually not worth watching at all

nearly 2 weeks after starting, I finally got through The Power of the Daleks.

It's not a bad story, but it's just.... hard to watch something that's missing so much footage.

In my guide I gave it a maybe: https://averylychee.neocities.org/doctor-who/#doctor2

because (while I haven't watched all of it) the animated version would be a really good watch
