Reviewing Every Doctor Who Story - Episode 5: The Peter Davison Era

- From a beautiful but impossible city to a mudburst soaked hellhole, taking in the Great Fire of London, the beginning and possible end of the universe, several banquets, talking gravity woodlice and Space Captain Beryl Reid, it's time for me to ramble for an hour and a bit about the Peter Davison era of Doctor Who! Now, doesn’t that sound fun?
Who just said no? I heard that!
This video’s apologies are due to the Monty Python team, Kamelion's eternal soul (if he has one), and Sarah Sutton (but it isn't me that needs to apologise in that case!)

definitely my favourite era of dr who with some of my most comfiest comfort stories like black orchid, four to doomsday and the awakening, absolutely love davison and have been waiting for this one atleast since the pertwee episode.
the classic series had the guts to kill off a companion here and there 😎😎 one big problem with 80's who was just how bright everything was lit. But I grew up on 80's Who and I have a very deep fondness for it
meanwhile the new show just wants to make sure everything is gay black trans pronoun nonsense
Brilliant video shouldn’t think the 6th Doctor era is too long away for it’s short era
Excellent review, laughed a lot!
Ah yes Anthony Ainley & his disguises! Getting practice in for the annual JNT panto 😂👍
Watching this now makes me want to go on a Peter Davidson marathon. Another great video By the way can't wait to see C Baker for the next one
First time watching your file, really impressed, criticism is constrictive and appropriate for the era, the editing is fun and really good, I sat and watched this in one sitting, never dragging always engaging. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. The next one is currently being worked on 🙂

I love these reviews so so much. My brother and I have been going through all of Doctor Who including large sections of big finish, and we are smack dab in the middle of the fifth doctor's era, so this video came out at exactly the right time.
I do hope Snakedance, when it gets it's Blu-Ray release, also gets an extended edition. Definitely one of those stories that deserves it.
Red Dwarf!
It was a nice twist! 👍
Happy to see some love for Arc of infinity. I love that story!
AYYY!! been waiting for this, always top tier stuff
Hope you enjoy!
Adric is wearing his badge for mathematical excellence in the Time Flight illusion so it must be just that as the Doctor had destroyed it in Earthshock!
That how Nyssa figured out that it was illusion. But Tegan was too stupid to figure out
15:35 Not quite. It was more that Christopher Bailey had already rewritten the script to account for all the cast changes since mid-1981 when it was originally commissioned, and simply refused to do another one to add Nyssa (whose main contract only came after she had so impressed everyone in TKoT), so she was always intended to not be a part of _Kinda,_ hence her contract not including the middle two parts.
Interesting, thanks for the info!
You mean Christopher Bailey.
Fantastic video! Really enjoyed this one.
And this era gave us The Tides Of Time etc my all time favourite run of comic strips in DWM that alone justified it's existence
I was glad to FINALLY see what cricket is like. (American here. I had no clue!)
Nice to see a bit more love than usual for this era, and even nicer that we share a lot of the same opinions!
Great video once again. Really enjoyed it. Fair play to you mounting a positive case for Season 20. I personally think it's a poor year of stories baring the Five Doctors, but you almost had me agreeing with you about some of them. Da iawn 👍
Diolch yn fawr 🙂 I'm a pretty big fan of S20, it's probably my overall favourite of Davison's 3 (Arc, Snakedance, Black Guardian AND Five Doctors!!!) Glad you enjoyed the vid (and maybe gained a tiny bit more love for this underrated run?)
Just watched all of your content, really enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to make it all! Loved all the gags, only true fans can so masterfully poke fun at something we all love so much and do it deftly, with grace and aplomb.
I love the visitation one of my favourites doctor who stories
The fact you're getting these videos out at the rate you are is super impressive! Great video, and can't wait for 6. Do you think you'll incorporate some Big Finish stories into 8 to pad out the video a bit? 😅
I'm also curious as to how he'll cover 8 since there's so little there.
Paul absolutely deserved a proper series of his own , given how he's impressed everyone with big finish and his cameos in Night of the Doctors and the Power of the Doctor
Great work there mate...
I look forward to watching this soon. Yay, I am finally current on where I am viewing the eps and this series! So far I kinda sorta like Five/Peter Davison. But darn, he had some big shoes to fill after Tom Baker.
I shamefully forgot about this...I actually only got reminded by the weird music video you just put up.
Maybe it's because I'm binging, but things become more noticeable than if I'd watched eps in real time, or at least more slowly. When Tegan is introduced, she seems like a take charge, modern kind of lady. She's excited about her career and she seems ready to take on the world. But as soon as she joins up with the Doctor, she spends the entire rest of her time whining and complaining and running around like a chicken with her head cut off! That's not at all the sort of person she seemed to be when we first meet her, driving with her aunt. She's the one that wanted to fix the tire herself and found it an insult to call someone for help. I'm not even sure what's going on with Nyssa. She somehow knows everything about the TARDIS and I never figured out how. It does seem to be a case of too little story time for too many characters. But I do wish Tegan's character hadn't bee so changed, so quickly.
I feel like #5 was just coming into his own and now he's almost gone. I think I feel that more strongly because I'm binging. Everything feels very fast. I wish I could go back to watching 1 episode per week like normal humans used to do. But... ain't nobody got patience for that anymore!
I agree with you on Warriors of the Deep. It was one of the first stories I had on VHS. It was quite well done and was action packed, especially at the end of episode 1. I like as well how they presented something different with the Silurians.
VERY enjoyable video, thank you!
Totally agreed with Time-Flight!
And for Arc of Infinity, I do prefer Collier's take on the role.
Great point on Silurian voices.
Heck, great points on many stories, especially Awakening but especially all of them!
Aeguably, 60s cybermen had emotional moments, too. The Moonbase is a good example of this. And as good as Earthshock was, it also feels like a rewrite of "Revenge of the Cybermen" but done right.
The sonic screwdriver was thankfully removed. JNT would roll over in his grave faster than a jet propulsion engine if he saw it in use in the modern era.
The first Doctor also said in a Dalek story that he will also use weapons to save his life if immediately threatened. Never cared for when 13 claims "the real Doctor doesn't", which is as if nobody making that story had ever seen the show before LOL.
I liked Lon's outfit. Not all civilizations are like ours. Snakedance is loaded with allusions and it's a treat.
Pertwee's era goofed up the UNIT dating. So had "Robot" from Tom Baker's premiere. JNT gets too much flak.
The Terminus space pirates needed those helmets because of all that hair. Indeed, the fogging up of the helmets is due to all that hairspray.
JNT took pride with the real robot, which he wanted instead of a guy in a suit or bland prop, because it was the latest in technology. Ironic, since the prop otherwise has a very fantasy-based concept of appearance from mind control! The creator dying did lead to problems, yup... nice use of video clips for him BTW! (Actually, I chuckled at all your jokes and audio clips superimposed on the video bits, hehe)
1:16:26 Balok cameo? 😁
The Myrka is hit or miss, but if the set was not so overly lit, it'd be better.
I have a soft spot for Planet of Fire. Amyand and Timanov I found interesting.
Androzani was a rewrite of The Power of Kroll and with a very genetic Doctor and companion and plotting. Its strengths are definitely with direction, music, and guest characters and acting. The regeneration twist of saving one person was brilliant.
This video actually made me want to rewatch planet of fire and caves of Androzani whivh I will watch planet tonight and caves tomorrow morning
Also I’m guessing it’s the master joke will appear in the trial of a Timelord or ultimate foe for 6 and well for 7 it’s obvious
And caves was actually my first classic story just because I wanted to watch a classic regeneration story and it was available for me
Btw you did a great job and I enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed, and yes you almost certainly haven't seen the last of "It's the Master!"
Caves is a good strong first classic (mine's coming next video!) Hope you enjoy your rewatch!
I'm going to rank peter now and i'm including the five doctors part of season 20. Lets go:
Season 19:
7. Time flight
6. Black Orchid
5. Castravola
4. Four to doomsday
3. Kinda
2. The vistation
1. Earthshock
Season 20:
7. The king's demon
6. Termius
5. Arc of infinity
4. Snakedance
3. Mardwyn undead
2. Enlightment
1. The five doctors
Season 21 (Not including twin dilemma):
6. Warriors of the deep
5. Planet of fire
4. The awakening
3. Frontios
2. Resurrection of the daleks
1. The caves of androzani
My favourite seaspn from this era is season 19 and least favourite is obviously season 20
He's in some great stories PD.
First few are unbelievable. 10/10
I had these suggested and was like “these are long, I dunno!”, and now I’m sad I’ve caught up.
This is of course the era where the Doctor is often laying down.
I wonder if there's a supercut video of Davision's non erect state.
That very video DOES exist and was one of the main grounds given by Sandra Dickinson during her and Davison's divorce proceedings. This very 'soft' part of Davison's persona, ensured Dickinson was doomed to using a Zanussi spin dryer to achieve some gratification as well as purchasing a variety of battery operated devices which meant she almost single-handedly kept Duracell fiscally secure for almost a decade.😊
I'm watching these eps for the first time. Because I'm binging, it really shows how underused many of the companions were. Again, when we first met Tegan, she was a tough, independent young woman excited about her career as an airline stewardess. She's presented as someone who wanted to fix the car tire alone and who considered it an insult to ask someone for help. Yet she spent her entire time traveling with the Doctor complaining, wanting to go home, and being whiny/annoying. Good grief, she spent much of this ep literally lying down with a head injury! It's no fault of the actress. She was great. I even did like the character. But she was given little to do. This is all on the writers.
An often overlooked era. I do accept that there's a certain unevenness to the quality of stories - but never less there's some gold to be found : Earthshock, Mawdryn Undead, Enlightenment(my personal favourite), Warriors From the Deep, Resurrection of the Daleks and Caves of Androzani.
Here is my raking for series 20 of classic Dr who number 1 the five doctors 2 Mundra undied 3 ark of infinity 4 snake dance 5 tremlons 5 einglintem
Yep, the daleks voice sound really threatening especially with different tones. Yep, Terry Molloy bets Davros which is judge praise with Michael Wischer being genius. Traumatised Tegan then comes back and happily shoots a ginormous killing weapon with almost glee. Well done Chibnall yet another character rewritten.
Interesting that, if Tom Baker had been involved:
Jamie & Zoe would have been with the 2nd Doctor.
The Brig would have been with the 3rd Doctor.
Sarah would have been with the 4th Doctor.
LETS GO
The vomiting Malus was a great moment.
I would say that Time Flight does have some of the worst effects in the shows history. The Plasmatons are right up there with the worst designed monsters of the series. However the Vardans from The Invasion of Time, Erato (Creature from the Pit), and that very strange Alien Priest from Colony in Space; seriously a midget elephant man wearing a nappy! Could this possibly be topped - yes the Ergon (or Chicken Man as named by AI reviews). That is what makes DW so special. Admittedly on a budget you could probably just afford to feed a small child on you get everything from the tackiest (Ergon) to the phenomenal (Davros, Jek, Sil). I have always thought of my favourite show as being a bit of a lucky dip. As Davison once said '...you never know quite what to expect!'
Having watched this excellent review of Davisons era I have to admit I had forgotten just how bloody marvellous he was in the role. With so many Doctors, the popular Tennant and T.Baker, and the reappraisal of the earlier days with Throughton, it is no wonder that Peter always end up in the middle of most ratings. His Doctor who era does not belong to those who grew up with the new series and the classics tend to be dominated by those who watched Pertwee and Baker so poor number five is sort of relegated out of the picture to a degree. A case of being caught in the middle of a show with a massive tenure. Thank you Peter. You were a great Doctor - one who could see the beauty in the smaller things in life.
20 years?
40!
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE BRIGADIER! Not even a little bit! Yegads, I had to go back to the previous episode to look at him again. I guess it's the lack of mustache? LOL! Wow! I loved him so much!
Black Orchid isn't a "true historical". The historicals were intended to teach the viewers about people and events in history, but _none_ of the characters, places, buildings or events in Black Orchid are real. It's a fictional murder mystery, which could have been set anywhere in upper-class rural England at any time between the Victorian era and the 1930s.
But, it's a "pure historical" in the sense that there are no alien characters, just a story about humans from the past. It's actually identical to the Highlanders in that respect. That too does not "teach the viewer" about any significant event - well, it mentions Culloden I guess. "The Smugglers" from a bit earlier is not about a significant historical event. "The Gunfighters" - it's a cod western, and mentions famous people like Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp, but is the Gunfight at the OK Corral a significant event?
@@paulhammond6978 The "historicals" were conceived as a means of teaching the audience about genuine people and/or events in history, hence the name. The episode in question was arbitrarily set in the 1920s, but it could have been set at just about any time - it could even be set in the future or on another planet, for what it's worth. Indeed, it would still work if we replaced the Doctor and the TARDIS team! It's basically just a period murder mystery, not a Doctor Who historical at all.
Arc of Infinity is superb I love it . Its miles better than a lot of Davidson episodes
please, it's a stalk of celery
1:16:55 The Myrka is definitely not worse than contemporary Super Sentai monsters from the sme era
Adric is saved by Lady Leora and moved to Gallifrey after missions with her and goes on more missions with her in FASA Master's File Book. Fan fic: Adric's War. At least they could have followed up EARTHSHOCK with a four part story where the Doctor at least tries to save Adric and maybe fails. Instead of "Let's just go cheer each other up." BTW I love Adric and like Dodo.
Ok, I have to admit, that Unlucky Tug reference was the last thing I expected to appear on a Dr Who related channel. 😅
TERMINUS
spoilers
Oh, I thought for sure N. was going to die! It was sad to see her go. But she did have a pretty good end. As usual, I felt like we didn't even get to know her very well. But I feel that way about most of the companions. Again, that probably has more to do with the fact that I'm binging, so everything seems to go by so quickly.
I don’t agree with all the opinions (notably on Talons and Ribos Operation last video) but I do agree with most of them. I started watching Doctor Who with Tom Baker (Invisible Enemy to be exact) but Davidson was where it became more like a religious practice. The first season of Davidson was when it really started. Earthshock in particular was massive at the time, since we all knew of the Cybermen but no one had seen them for years. And we were all sad when Adric died, even though we hated him. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there. Peri perked things up and Caves of Androzani is legendary, but between Earthshock and there it was mostly middling. Interesting to hear the opinion on Colin Baker because I thought he was great, but I seem to be in a tiny minority.
I’m wondering why it’s taken so long to get the 6th doctor’s review up. But than I remember that means having to watch The Twin Dilemma and my condolences go out. Take all the time you need AI.
Very excited for 6th and 7th, my favorite doctors but this doctor has a few gems i like but not seen alot from 5th
Is this series dead?
Hopefully you’ll be able to do the rest
Here's my raking for series 21 of classic Dr who number one the caves of andrsane number two planet of fire number three resurrection
of the daleks number four warriors of the deep number five the Awakening number six frontios
1:16:27 I found the audio version of warriors of the deep to be very good
I have to say for me Peter Davisons era is probably my least favourite. It has some terrific highs. Like Castrovalva, Black Orchid, Earthshock, Enlightenment, The Five Doctors and Resurrection of the Daleks.
But the rest for me are pretty poor for me. Either forgettable or downright awful.
Castrovalva’s my personal favourite. I think it’s so unique, fun and has a terrific premise. I wish more writers wrote more stories like this.
Love the video! This is one of my favourite series’ on UA-cam.
Thanks for your kind words, glad you're enjoying the series and hope you enjoy this episode 🙂
Sadly, the Fifth Doctor era had the same problems of the Jodie Whittaker era.
Caves of Androzani wasn’t good?
I had a very bad reaction to Peter Davison's debut back in the day. He unraveled the Holy Scarf! I forgave him for that..eventually.
Loving the videos. When will you release the 6th doctor video? I hope you keep them coming.
Davison's era has grown on me over the years. As a kid, I followed Tom Baker's Doctor from his first episode, and though I tried to adjust to 5, he never gave me that sense of alien eccentricity that got me hooked on the character. I met him at a convention (he drove up in Bessie), and he was as charming as could be, but he always seemed like the cool young uncle you'd see every Christmas rather than the fearless, unpredictable, and larger-than-life personality that put Doctor Who on the map for us Americans. I would tune in every now and then through his and Colin's years, but didn't like what I was seeing until McCoy, when I got hooked again just in time for the darn thing to be cancelled. But as an adult, I appreciate all the 80s era of the show so much more, and your review has made me go back and do a marathon of all the JNT episodes.
The variation in quality in this era is probably the biggest in the whole classic era. Timeflight is so bad it's unreal.
I never knew why he could not go on only three season he was a the Morden day he should of done four years
Anyone who dislikes, criticises or mocks Kamelion is an utter simpleton, to me.
Here is my raking for series 19 of classic Dr who number one black orchid number two castrovalva number three earth shock number four kinda number five time flight number six fourth to doomsday number seven the visitation
16:25 Isn't Kinda the story that has "bad mech suit" versus "twig wicker man"? I was hoping for an explanation for that. Why was the... why any of it really.
Initially, Black Orchid was popular until Davison said his opinion, so I've heard. Why couldn't the Master be a fortune teller? I'd have placed the King's Demons before the Black Guardian trilogy so it would be a Nyssa story. #Nyssadeservedbetter
52:20 Oh no, I hated Turlough. "Is he going to ki..." He's not. "Is he going to..." No. "Well, how about..." Not that either.
Fine, you want to do this? You have to start off with "Dead Man shoes." The "maybe evil" Companion has and I mean has to kill the companion they're replacing. A rude school boy who thinks he's an alien because he's an alien... God bless Who and their human aliens because I sure don't... doesn't fit the requirements.
Or you can be completely bonkers and just have the evil companion outright kill the Doctor, causing him to regenerate. Then you wonder if the companion could do it again before realizing, finally, that it doesn't even matter. "Didn't think this one through" seems to be the Black Guardian's MO so he is on brand.

Five doctors was FAR from perfect, especially if your fav doc was Tom.
Earthshock was the last great DR Who story.
Adric gets a lot of hate but I will take him over Turlough Rory or Jamies as a young male companion.
I like some of the stories that came after. I rate Caves of Androzani & Revelation of the Daleks a lot, but yes, Earthshock was probably the most identifiable end of a great run. Time-Flight onward seemed to quickly undo the show's good work prior. Sad to think what might've been had JNT left early on in Davison's run.
I first started watching DW when I was around 5 or 6 in the Tom Baker era on the BBC so the 4th and fifth doctors were where I broke my DW virginity. :) . I love the show. I really dont know why Adric gets such a bad rap. I always thought he was lovely, also Nyssa. Never liked turlow though - treacherous. This is a great channel !
oh and I remember being REALLY ffrreaked out by terminus. I was little, lol. I think it was the atmosphere.
Peter Davidson big shoes fill Tom baker left
Change ending of earth shock story
The 6th doctor ?
You know I have always said my favorite Doctors where 3,6 and 9 followed by 5 and 11 but I went back through who in it's entirety recently and I realized that Not only is Peter Davison the doctor I enjoyed the most but most of my favorite stories came from his era, The visitation, Warriors of the deep and Earthshock are all stories I remember finding on video cassette at carboot sales and charity shops in the late 90's early 00's
Blake’s 7 reboot romana
Here is my raking for doctor who classic series 19 number one castrova number two black orchid number there time flight number fou earth shock number five kinda number six though to dooms Day number seven the visitation
I hate the first two seasons except for Earthshock and the 5 Doctors. The worst period of Classic Who. The Chibnall Era repeated many of the sins of this era - crowded Tardis, weak Doctor, a Panto Master, etc. If I rewatch again, I'll only watch those two episodes and then skip ahead to Frontios, which is where it gets much better.
The timeless child is related to alot of Davidsons era.
Wisher was a FAR better Davros than Molloy, who was decent at best in copying Wisher's portrayal.
He effortlessly outshone and surpassed Wisher, seemingly without breaking sweat.
My top 10 Davison:
1- Arc of Infinity
2- Planet of Fire
3- Frontios
4- Snakedance
5- Earthshock
6- The Caves of Androzoni
7- Mawdryn Undead
8- Ressurection of the Daleks
9- Enlightenment
10- Time Flight
Please tell me this does is coming back soon. I miss your videos.
Wow, almost a year since the last video. I hope you are doing okay.
Aw, no. Please tell me this Peri chick isn't staying. I've known her for about 5 minutes and already can't stand her.
You might be seeing a fair bit more of her...

FASA has Adric saved by a Time Lady, who is brave enough, more than the Doctor, save Adric. Big Finish did revive Adric in a worse way: as an old man who wants to rape Nyssa and kill the Doctor using mutants he created. FASA at least has a good Adric surviving story. And Adric deserves to have more life, though Davison caused Adric to be the one to go. Records show that the producers, for years wanted to kill of someone: the Brig, Sarah, Leela and even Romana 1 and 2 were thought about to be killed off. Unfortunately they picked the one character who talked like a real person and who I related to in more ways than one, more so than I even realized. The story after Earthshock should have been about the Doctor at least trying to save him and failing I guess, though I wanted him to survive some way.
26:08 Dude just tell us what happens. How can something good be spoiled just because you know what happens in the story? 🙄
Doctor who terrible casting very dull peter no charisma him and Sylvester were very poor era
