In The Tomb of the Cybermen, the Doctor claims to be 450 years old

@sandraregina go ahead and send that request - if I post too much non-who stuff for you, though, let me know and I'll work something out

@Jo this convention was never used on commercial releases, with the exception of "Doctor Who and the Silurians", which was only called that due to the person who put the titles on screen: for some reason, they forgot to omit the "Doctor who and" part, like they had done for every other episode

I think I figured out the reason why most of the early stories start with "The"

It's because, internally, all the scripts were named "Doctor Who and <story name>"

So even though "Tomb of the Cybermen" is a perfectly good title, it would look weird to have a script called "Doctor who and Tomb of the Cybermen", so they put a "The" at the start.

@beartaco thankyou!
and yes, I'm going to be continuing through until the guide contains every episode

☄ Classic Doctor Who ☄
====================

Want to watch Classic Doctor Who, but don't want to slog through the boring episodes?

Check out my guide!

Now with updated recommendations for the first 4 seasons! That's 169 episodes!

and that's the end of season 4!

time to make a new promo post

I actually really liked The Evil of the Daleks, even though it's mostly missing.

I've updated my guide to have a review for this, and also to downgrade The Highlanders to a "maybe" – not because it's bad, but because it's not as good relative to the other episodes I gave a "watch" rating to in this season.

I'm somewhat worried that I've become a little gentler and forgiving on the episodes than I was in the last season, but maybe this season is just better.

I do like how all the early dalek stories are quite different from each other - they're not just repeating the same plot over and over again
