Continuing my Doctor Who stories I haven’t seen in ages thingy, it’s The Green Death! It’s classic Pertwee, six parts, UNIT personnel all over the place, people in bell-bottom trousers worrying about pollution… well, maybe that’s more early 70s than just Pertwee era Who…
Well, if you had to pick a Patrick Troughton / Second Doctor story to start with, you can’t get more predictable than this! Seriously, if I knew these stories would be on my blog first, I would have picked something less obvious. Still, I would have got to it eventually, so… off we go!
Before deciding to do this blog I started a mini-marathon of one story for each Doctor, with each story being one I hadn’t seen / heard in ages. Seems like a good way to start filling out the “coming soon…” bits of the blog! For the First Doctor I chose this famous story, the second ever Dalek story and the first to show aliens of any kind invading Earth (even if it was a future version of it). How does it hold up (not including special effects, for obvious reasons…) ?

Doctor Who’s 9th Series (since the revival) continues onwards into three stories that can be considered one plot arc, but not really a three parter, and deals with the exit of long-time companion Clara.
