The 10th Series since the revival (36th overall!) begins with “The Pilot”, which is a reference that this is the first outing for new companion Bill Potts and therefore like the first episode ever but also haphazardly written into the episode’s narrative so it makes sense as the opener to a 36th season as well… Let’s take a look!

Time to take our first visual dip into long scarves and jelly babies territory as I look at “The Face of Evil” in my random “haven’t seen them in a while” marathon. A new companion is introduced and Tom Baker is The Doctor, part of the villain and carved into a mountain… Not bad going for one story!

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…) ?

The 9th (since it was revived) series of Doctor Who closes out with a story that’s equal parts a touching character piece and insane Moffat timey run-around…

Doctor Who’s 9th (since the 2005 revival) series nears its end as Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor shows how great he is, by himself… for nearly an hour! Let’s take a look…

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.
