0:57 Gotta love the Third Doctor's moves.
This is Peter Miles' second of three appearances in Doctor Who. His first was as Dr. Lawrence in "Doctor Who and the Silurians" (1970), second was of course here in "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" (1974) as Professor Whitaker and his third was as Nyder in "Genesis of the Daleks" (1975).
Rest in peace Jon Pertwee, Elisabeth Sladen, Nicholas Courtney, Noel Johnson and Carmen Silvera.
I knew he looked familiar. Yes, he was the head of the nuclear plant in The Silurians.
All those turning metal knobs, and pull down levers with balls, THAT is how to make a quality computer!
R.I.P. Dudley Simpson (4 October 1922 - 4 November 2017).
2.57, "He's reversed the polarity!"....damn polarity reverses.
I know right, I hate it when that happens.
should have showed them materialising in their 'golden age'...could easily have been done
Some things are better done in the mind.
@@davebesag I agree but in this case showing them materialising in the prehistoric age with all its savagery would have been very effective
@@hugodrax71 Considering how badly the dinosaur effects were executed in this story... I'm in two minds about it. It definitely would've made for a more dramatic ending.
Imagine a Sequel to this story with the Doctor arriving in that time. Surprised Big Finish hasn't got on it.
The man who portrayed the renegade General Finch appeared in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" (1977).
Strange that it wasn't revealed if Mike Yates,who was Captain of UNIT,had any relatives or not when he met the Doctor. He didn't think about his family 1 bit when he worked for the megalomanic plotters in the Operation Golden Age Case. Mike never bothered to tell the bad men he was working with that the Doctor is a Time Lord,hence the Doctor was able to move and reverse the machine's polarity and turning it off first.
It was good that the Doctor's powers as a Time Lord sure prevented the megalomaniac plotters' plans from succeeding,hence his moving while time was frozen by their machine in the protective field.
At least this explains how he was able to get past the fan blades in "The End of The World" in Modern Doctor Who.
@@Kazuo1G New Who is crap.
@@fjccommish Only after 2009.
@@fjccommish Shut the f up already. No one cares. No one was even talking sbout new who and how good or bad it was. Stop thinking you're special for having an opinion. And don't make them look like facts, they're opinions and nothing more you irrelevant pos. Don't watch it then, no one cares.
@@fjccommish And maybe if you don't like New Who don't watch New Who videos then. Get a life you l0ser.
If Jo Grant had seen Mike Yates again long after he was part of a plot to wipe out most of humanity in the Operation Golden Age Case, would she slap Yates and yell at him for being part of a very cruel injustice against humanity and almost wiped herself and her family out of existence as well?
She would.
The Doctor was kind of cold at the end. I think even Tom Baker would be impressed.
I love the use of the Oboe in all the 70s Dr Who eps. So sinister.
A Fitting Farewell Episode to the 3rd Dr.
His last episode was the green death
@@tomdumb6937
Actually it was Planet of The Spiders.
A DW Nerd.
It would've been interesting to see Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart & Benton giving a piece of their minds to Captain Mike Yates for selling out UNIT to those madmen who tried to get rid of most of humanity. In this adventure, Benton got to strike against not only Yates but another superior above his rank for being part of this unspeakable plot.
Thats something that has always bugged me about Mike Yates' character arc, the way he gets to bow out quietly instead of him being arrested, formally charged and then being court martialled. We probably wouldn't have seen on screen because it would have been too time consuming, it also bugs me that everyone is still on good terms in Planet of the Spiders, military don't take kindly traitors after all
@@benlyon4739 It does help if you treat some stories as having an important time gap between them, especially when the aftermath of heavy events like this one weren't really tackled onscreen and wouldn't get deeper exploration back then to maintain the stand-alone format.
TV series didn't invest on character arcs (including consequences to pivotal moments) with the depth and to the extent they do today, unfortunately, but this approach of mine helps, not to mention we have expanded universe content that's able to fill in the gaps and further develop these shifts in dynamics.
Here are the four main gaps I headcanon from Three's era:
1. *"Doctor Who And The Silurians" to "The Ambassadors Of Death"* (missing Three's direct confrontation with the Brigadier after he blew up the Silurians' base and the subsequent exacerbation in an already tense rapport)
2. *"Inferno" to "Terror of the Autons"* (this one is already implied onscreen through 'you've been agitating for a new assistant ever since Miss Shaw went back to Cambridge.', and it's clear whatever conflict or frustration that led Liz to leave took place between these stories.)
3. *"The Green Death" to "The Time Warrior"* (it just makes sense. Three was visibly upset following Jo's departure, and I believe he might have spent some time travelling on his own before returning to UNIT (or until the Brigadier requested him for some urgent matter).
4. *"Invasion of the Dinosaurs" to "Planet of the Spiders"* [Earth-based only] (for the reasons you already explained)
@@talesofawhovian9690…this gap is probably filled in by the books.
Good thing that Mike Yates,who was a Captain of UNIT,didn't see the Doctor foil those megalomanic plotters go back in time after the Doctor reversed the polarity on their machine after Yates was converted to work for their cause because he wasn't fully cured from being mind-controlled by a super-computer in the case involving global chemicals.
Isn't that bloke on the left at 1:23 the same person who played Nyder in Genesis of the Daleks?
Yes he was also in the silurians and appeared twice in Blake's 7
And the scientist the Doctor subdues in the corridor with his Venusian akido would later appear in "Vengeance On Varos".
@@LordZontar Martin Jarvis instantly recognisable a BBC stalwart and excellent actor
Has someone done an edit of all Pertwee's HAI! moments?
A surprise that Sarah Jane Smith didn't slap Mike Yates in the face for turning against the Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and UNIT in the Operation Golden Age Case after it was over when the Doctor reversed the polarity on the machine and sent 2 of the masterminds back to their Golden Age.
Even if the Doctor tried to tell Mike Yates to think of his family and even Jo Grant,who was the doctor's assistant until she resigned from UNIT to marry Professor Clifford Jones after the end of the incident at Global Chemicals,would Mike listen? He cared about her and would've probably had second thoughts about Operation Golden Age.
Good to see Carmen Silvera from Allo Allo. She was also in The Celestial Toymaker.
Maybe part of the reason why Captain Yates was converted to work against the Doctor & UNIT is because he had no relatives. Even if he had any relatives, would he still go through this evil operation knowing that they might not be in the protective field?
A surprise that the Doctor didn't tell Jo Grant a lot later on after the Operation Golden Age Case was foiled that Mike Yates was part of a group to roll back time to the age of the dinosaurs and wipe out humanity, including her and her family outside the protection field. Would Jo cry if the Doctor told her that adventure whether she would believe it or not?
Wonder if they bumped into Scaroth back in the "Golden Age"? Maybe that's what gave him the idea for _his_ time travel plan!
What were those martial art moves the Doctor pulled off, Venusian aikido?
1:40 "Listen to me," APPLY THE KNEE!!
Noel Johnson is really good in this and love how Dudley Simpsons music really sells the threat. Much missed. 😔
Well, that takes care of that.
Those 2 megalomaniac plotters didn't even care 1 bit about destroying children as well. Thank goodness the Doctor's powers as a Time Lord foiled their evil scheme and they didn't bother to think how he could move while time was frozen inside the protective field.
He wrecked them.
:34 Clara the Clown looks concerned. When the Doctor arrived, he should have said, "It is I, the Doctor."
Shut it. No one cares
lol, I was wondering where they got the inspiration for Austin Power's costume...
frakkin awesome cant wait!!!
*BOING* (heard in my head at the end of the clip)
Strange that the Doctor hasn't used Venusian Karate since the 3rd incarnation.
@JUMPER1818k Third also another golden age!
How To Make Being Okay With Change Causing Bad Outcome Extremely Pure Good idea
1. Invent Time Machine.
2. Travel To 22nd century.
3. Invent a machine that can change probability use it to make probability certain that being okay with change causing Bad Outcome is Extremely Pure Good idea Forever.
I wonder if krasko is with them when he was sent to the past. They could suffer same fate together XD
Also, I wonder if the Doctor sent them to some random period in dinosaur prehistory, or 65,000,000 years ago. It'd be funny to think that the Doctor sent them back in time, and a later version of him kills them because of the antimatter freighter.
as of typing this: I am watching "the war machines"
Well that was a bit of a spoiler :)
Which Doctor incarnation is that?
This is the 12th doctor
JUMPER1818k the 3rd

Remake this episode as a movie
Except Austin Powers can't look badass while wearing it! ;)
