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

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.

☄ 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

The Evil of the Daleks is surprisingly slow-paced so far.

It's not monotonous, but it is slow.

The reconstruction team went to a lot more effort for this one, too - they've filmed new segments, they've created a cgi version of one of the sets, in order to animate daleks in it... it's quite impressive

Oh, i've been awake 2 hours, i should probably say....

goodnight, lovelies

hi

wait, I don't have any way to watch the new season as it comes out, nevermind

hmm, I'm either going to have to watch 688 episodes before October, or.... skip ahead for a bit and then jump back

Because I haven't seen the last season of the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and I want to see that before I watch this years season, featuring the 13th Doctor (Jodie Whittaker)
