@woozle yes, that would definitely be a question to ask, rather than just assume like a doofus ::P

@woozle I think at the time, people weren't expected to sit in front of the television and watch the show continuously, they were expected to do other tasks while watching

fiction on tv was still a relatively new concept

@lucidiot@tiny.tilde.website oh my gosh I think I've been here

there's an owl cafe in Tokyo that I visited last year, it's incredible

@woozle oh yeah, the pacing on all these episodes is SO SLOW

I mention in my full guide that people can skip the first few seasons if they can't stand the pacing, because it really is..... extreme

The next story is The Keys of Marinus, which I remember fondly from when I watched it as a kid.

We'll see if it holds up...

[ The Edge of Destruction ] - Watch it! Short and tense, and one of my favourites

[ Marco Polo ] - All the episodes are missing, but if you're willing to watch regardless, go ahead!

(To explain for those who don't know: many of the earlier episodes were completely destroyed, however fans at home recorded the audio and took photos of the screen, so reconstructions which use still images have been made)

I'm making a guide of which episodes of Dr Who to watch. While I'm making a fully detailed guide, I've seen the first 4 stories of the classic series and here are my thoughts so far:

[ An Unearthly Child ] – Watch the first episode! Then skip the rest because they're dull

[ The Daleks ] – Worth a watch if you're patient, but otherwise it's very slow paced

(cont)

I mean, I don't want to because they're amazing

but I've nearly had an entire packet
