The Genocide Machine is the first audio drama to be kinda disappointing – the first 3 parts are fine, but once the last part starts, you already know how it's going to end and you're just waiting for it to happen.

the ordering rules become more clear if I rewrite it like this:

a b d g m
e p t k n
i f s l r h
o v z w j
u c x q y

a b d g m e p t k n i f s l r h o v z w j u c x q y

it's actually got some simple rules, which mean it goes in the order it does, but it's still relatively arbitrary so it feels "natural".

hmmm... I need a third colour for this log.

it needs to go on top of either #8D86C9 or #9067C6

and it needs to contrast with #C5D1EB and #92AFD7

I've now watched 333 episodes (39.17% of the total number), and recommended just over half of them.

I do wonder what the scripts would have been like, if William Hartnell had been healthy enough to participate more.

(As his health had degraded significantly in the 6 years since he left the role, he was only able to sit in a chair and read a few lines for the story, he wasn't able to be active or remember too much of a script)

Seeing Troughton and Pertwee interact in episode one was really cool, but in the second episode they're seperated, and seeing their different approaches to things (both as actors and as different characters) is great

The Three Doctors is so good. It's a great story in general, but it's also a great season opener and a great anniversary story.

The major conceit is that there's a problem so big that the timelords have crossed the Doctor's timelines together, so the first 3 Doctors can help out.

Season 9 has the honour of being the first season of Doctor Who where I recommend *every* story in the season.

I'm tempted to downgrade one of the stories just to make that not the case, but I probably won't.
