I get redesigning things in a completely missing or mostly missing story (though I'd still prefer it being very accurate), but redesigning most of the characters and locations in a story, where half of the episodes exist seems like a very strange decision to me.

Season 7 is the perfect Dr Who season. Not a dud episode in it.

Never thought I'd see a WhoTuber reference The Unlucky Tug.

I have question,I’m sure you’ve been asked this once or twice,but I was curious about how you’ll go about reviewing 8 and War,assuming that was even on your mind. I’m not gonna assume you have a large range of Big Finish on hand,but I’m just thinking it would be a little unfair to both Doctors if they were just latched on to the end of 7s review,or just put together in a 12 minute video,only covering their on screen appearances

Did anyone actually like - Dementia in time ??? 😂

In 85 I was just happy that Perry didn't wear a bra. 😊

Your sound editing is shocking mate 😮😮😮 And yes I can talk , I do all my own editing , sfx, Foley and soundtrack editing. 😉

He's MY Doctor.... always will be.

Again, completely agree with you that the animations should be watchable with the surviving episodes. It's quite confusing otherwise.

I firmly agree that the animations should be consistent with any surviving episodes. This is why one could find the animation of The Abominable Snowmen to be confusing, with many of the character designs being altered significantly. Also, fun fact: When they did the initial DVD release for The Underwater Menace, the people working on it offered to do a high quality recon for no extra cost, but the BBC turned this down for some reason.

Barry Letts era has more of a science focus than any Who after it.... :( It's not that the Doctor was less of a scientist after Pertwee, it was after Letts. Somewhere in the transfer they lost track of the fact that the Doctor is an explorer obsessed with scientific investigation, he began to become more of a travelling superhero instead. I love the Leela era, and her wide-eyed uneducated character resulted in things getting a little more 'sciency' for a while, as the Doctor explains everything as they go. But I really miss the little science lessons from early Who, geology, biology.... Pertwee rewiring a radio receiver into a transmitter... Total machine creatures... :) Machine + creature = Cyborg Daleks and Cybermen have brain alterations which remove 'problematic' emotions, making them machine creatures, creatures that think like machines.... 'Another' race of 'robots'... wasn't a great word combo, no... :D Hopefully things go full circle on Talons of Weng Chiang! The Victorian racism shown was realistic, educational and not at all promoting the behavior. We should bring back actors playing characters of other races, complete with accent and optional make-up. We should be able to have an Asian actor play Sherlock Holmes without wowsers claiming that the character has been 'made Asian' A black, Hispanic or white Ghengis Khan is fine as long as they're not playing the role with an anachronistic hip modern accent. It would progress things and help people get over feeling outraged on behalf of others, if we moved on and let actors be actors. It's an actor's job to portray people unlike themselves.... 21st century, time to get over it.... Invisible Enemy is a classic, the early Leela era is strong! I was obsessed with building my own K9 as a kid, even if his head does explode when his wheels touch water. I haven't seen the latest versions of Shada with animation! Something to track down.....

Really? With the budgets these Dr. Who animations have had (IOW, they actually HAD budgets), why do they all look like CRAP? I look at these, comparing them to "Memories of Phantasm" ( ua-cam.com/video/66wSmZAYddI/v-deo.html ) and I just have to wonder how so-called "professional" animated recreations can look like shit when compared to a **fan production** based off the Touhou Project video games?

I watched from the start. For almost 2 hours I watched... and waited. This video is excellent and I found myself agreeing broadly with each story's review, but I knew it wouldn't last - at least not for me. Eventually it would arrive, the story I remember from my youth. The one I remember the best because I enjoyed it so much. So I watched this video and I waited for the inevitable - a mercilessly brutal and blasphemous review of The Horns of Nimon except... no! Wait a minute! Whats this?!? Words like Magnificent, Wonderful and Fun! YES! Thats how I remember it too! THE NIMON BE PRAISED!

My favourite era.

WTF?! You actually think Terry Molloy is a better Davros than the mighty Michael Wisher? You HAVE to be joking?! Molloy is definitely good in the role, but not a patch on Wishers performance.... not even in the ballpark.

great work, love the use of incidental music, which I particularly love from the 60s and 70s. Leave me wanting to watch so many of these again

now im just imagining we get two more animations within a year of this video, meaning a part 3. as for what those are? i would like to see Season 3 filled out more. The Massacre and The Savages would be especially nice. but if any other season? give me The Wheel In Space and The Space Pirates to clear both seasons 5 and 6 for a "complete" bluray release in one swoop

Whatever your thoughts on this era, Colin was never given the opportunity to really shine in the role. This has been redeemed in recent years with the Big Finish audio releases, but as a whole, various factors stacked up against Colin during his tenure, which was a real shame.

What do you think of the new Celestial Toymaker animation.

A different BBC in those days.

I liked all but 2 of the episodes that had Leela in them

I was disappointed with the visual changes in The Underwater Menace, especially the fish people. But I thought the 3D color animation of The Celestial Toymaker made it much more interesting because, let's face it, the story plods a bit. I wouldn't want this style for every reanimation, but it really worked for this story.

Is the actual episode good?

Is there a link to Flash Murphy's Flasback theme?

Great overview

Shada would have been a triumphant conclusion to the best that Doctor Who had offered before JNT ruined it all overnight. I really don't understand why Dudley was fired. Even the cheapest serials feel rich because of his incredibly skillful & diverse scores. Whereas the synthesizer crap all feels so dated, cheap, over-used, overbearing, annoyingly persistent in the mix due to the lack of performance dynamics, & of its time. I also believe killing what made Tom so addictive to watch, the humour, was a daft idea from a man who had a stick up his arse. Everyone knows JNT wanted to be Doctor Who. But because he sucked at everything, he made the Doctor JNT by slapping ugly clothes on him, with tasteless colours & Question Marks that are about as subtle as his Hawaiian shirts collection. Then comes killing off K9 in a dumbfounded way which contradicts K9's intelligence - a fan favourite because he didn't want friendly banter on the show anymore or the responsibility of writing for him. The stories suddenly became convoluted, dull, or melodramatic with far too much emphasis on trying to be different. And seeing that JNT was producer now, he wanted Adric, Tegan & Nissa who about as enjoyable as Colin Bakers regeneration sequence. Dr Who had it's hey-day and should have stopped after shada imho. Because it just became so cheap in every possible aspect including scripts with rare 'once in a season' exceptions.

Have the 70s and 80s gone again?

Tom Baker is THE Doctor for me, even though Pertwee, Capaldi, Davison, etc. are up there. To be fair, I like all the Doctors except the tenth (Tennant) who I never liked. Interestingly, I loved the 14th Doctor though! 😂

Sorry about all the weird comments about Talons it’s weird how people can’t accept that even good art can have harmful elements to them to the point getting personally offended at the idea and unnecessarily needing to spin it in a way where they’re somehow superior for thinking otherwise or that there’s actually people out there actively saying you’re a bad person for enjoying them and campaigning for these episodes to be like taken away or something I unno what they’re talking about with that I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything remotely resembling that scenario being like actually real, people just like to fight for fightings sake I guess

As someone who watched this era when it went out in the 80s, it’s great to see new fans revisiting my childhood Who.

While Better than The Web Of Fear Animation, The Celestial Toymaker 2024 is Still Terrible.

...55.35....and yes, here it is folks. The hand and head wringing, post year 2000, woke-shite, never ending apologetic bollocks from kids that were not even alive when it was made. It's one of the best from the Tom Baker era, just deal with it and move on!!😴😴😴 We have.

I absolutely loved the Celestial Toymaker animation. This is from someone who thought Web of Fear animation was an absolute embarassment. It looked gorgeous, most animations looked fine, servicable. But not like an incredible work within itself like Toymaker, which brought it from the worst of the 1st Doctor to 17/29 (which is obviously not a top spot, but much higher then I would expect it to be if the actual episodes survive, as the only remaining one was no where near as interesting as the animation. It truly brought life to this story, and I hope they are the go to studio for Dr. Who animations from now on, I am not a fan of the Wheel in Space, but I think they would be great for that story, and the Smugglers (and ideally the Dalek's Master Plan, but fair enough if a story of that size would be not seen as viable).

Whisper it quietly, but.... I think The Celestial Toymaker animation is the first re-animated Who that improves on what the original TV version must have been like. Perhaps a cutdown version of this would even play well to today's kids who only know the modern program?

Ah...Packaaaaah 😂❤🎉

1:04 I disagree. _The Web of Fear_ had five episodes in a watchable state, which is not six.

I felt like the animation errors in The Underwater Menace were just disappointing to me. I felt something was lost in the animated remakes of Episodes 2 & 3, and I really dislike the new character designs. If you only have one surviving episode, I’m more lenient with changes. That’s why the changes made to The Abominable Snowmen don’t bother me too badly. But when half the material exists, you should probably keep the original designs to an extent.

11:42 That caught me off guard LOL

Excellent review. Been waiting for a video on the 2. The underwater menace will always hold a special feeling as it was the comeback release after what I was also sure would be a lengthy gap. However that went a bit too far on the animation front with changes and pats lines being given to others is really careless. Nonetheless happy to have a very good recon of it, much more enjoyable. Toymaker, I absolutely loved. The changes worked for me and bettered my enjoyment of it. Don't want to see 3d for any other story though as like you've said it probably wouldn't work as well for anything else. Delighted the range is back. Think smugglers is likely to be next although I really want the space pirates, would vastly benefit from visuals. Look forward to the next video, all the best!

As soon as I saw Dr Karen in the opening I left.

Not clean still too much bacground clunking & footsteps.

Bidmead and Saward's overseen scripts are overflowing with logical inconsistencies, but the one that takes the cake for me is god-tier engineer Omega, who harnessed a black hole and has zero relation to planet Earth, deciding that some old Dutch crypt pipes were the only source of power in the universe to enact his Arc Of Infinity plan. May as well get a bird skeleton and a zombified street kid to do the grunt work, yeah? Also, how is there no scene where Tegan says "Why'd you jerks leave without me?!?" Being a contrarian, I wanted to enjoy the Davison era, but it feels like every idea that JNT had was kinda terrible. Currently binging the whole classic series for the first time, and this is the first time it feels like a slog.

In case your wondering,the temporary voice actor for K-9 being named David Bradley is a coincidence,while David Bradley’s career had begun at that point,we did not act in Doctor who until many years later,it’s not eh same David Bradley from An Adventure in Space and Time

While I understand the criticism leveled against the Talons of Weng-Chiang,and won’t argue that the decision of yellowface was justified(because it never has been,never will be),I’d still argue that it’s necessary watching,it’s a lot like Horror of Fang Rock being that it’s a fun romp through the past,and it’s absolutely well made,a better made Victorian adventure than anything Steve Moffat gave us

Wasn’t this released as an album

Terror is quite enjoyable but just doesn't impress as much as Spearhead. As mentioned the CSO made many scenes look fake, the Nestene creature at the end was unimpressive. While I always liked Katy Manning as Jo there was just something more grown up and beleivable about Liz Shaw as a near equal to the Doctor. Even Pertwee's performance changed a bit acting more grumpy and rude and the music score varied from downright creepy to whimsical. Terror therefore gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me

This story was brilliant in every possible way. The cliffhangers are all quite good, performances were great all around having the Brigadier being the only thing bridging the 60's era to the new glossy 70's. The Autons themselves were quite chilling and creepy and Pertwee commands every scene he is in. Even Hugh Burden as Channing gave you the creeps and really felt like an alien being from another world. The glossy pale skin of the humanoid versions of the Autons was a nice touch giving their skin a shinny plastic appearance. I give this one a 9.5 out of 10

There’s a reason why some of the later Dalek voices are so bad,that being that until their return in the 2005 revival the voice modulator settings for the daleks were never noted down so that there would always be a little difference in the voices each time,the same problem happened in 1972 with Revival of the Daleks

cant wait for Mccoy! ill fully admit 7's era is my least favorite time in the show, but im really curious to hear your thoughts on it
