  • I recently saw a video about "Best Doctor Who Cliffhangers" and noted that there was a distressing amount of Classic Who cliffhangers, in fact, I think it only totalled around 3 while the remaining 7 were NuWho related. I am rectifying this grave injustice with a series covering the best and worst Doctor Who Cliffhangers.

    Tbh almost every cliffhanger from Fury from the Deep could be on here. It's such an amazing story with so many iconic moments. It's such a shame the whole story's missing.

    I always loved the way Salamander was dealt with. There's something so cool yet so horrifying about being sucked out into endless time. I feel like that's something new who doesn't seem to do that much anymore :( That being generally horrifying things that serve the plot.

      It’s such a horrifically simple defeat for such a memorable villain where what we end up seeing happen leaves a long lasting impact to the implications of said moment. NuWho does tend to lack a lot of these nowadays.

      I found that classic who is more unrestrained in it's violence when binge watching the whole show it becomes obvious that for example Sylvester McCoy had more violence than Cristopher Ecclestone.

      'Enemy of the World' feels a lot like a rejected 'The Avengers' TV series script, crossed with Philip K. Dick's story 'The Defenders' for added length, so that it's a little hard to watch it with a straight face now.
      But yes, compared to a lot of Doctor Who, it's actually quite different. Almost like another TV series altogether.
      But what's Doctor Who canon for the second doctor looking just like Salamander, someone who was jettisoned in to the time vortex?

    So many of the sounds from The Invasion have stuck with me since I saw it as a kid. Cybermen coming out of their cocoons, that machine they used to knock people out, the screaming Cyberman is the sewer.

    Hey Dan, I know you used to use TimeScales a lot for your Doctor Who reviews (its how I became aware of you) and I know Kamelion seemingly kicked you off the site, but you may be able to get back on there now.
    I'm not sure, but it I think the whole thing might be under new management (the contact email has changed, Kamelion's account has been removed and its some guy called Corey seemingly running things now). Also your reviews appear to have resurfaced, just that it says your account is blocked. Not sure if you were aware or not.

      I’m aware Cam, I’ve been contacted by them and frankly is very dubious given the back and forth hasn’t changed. I’m almost certain it’s just Kamelion under a new name trying to distance himself from said name. I highly doubt I’ll be able to get my account restored given how suspect it’s all is.

      Never been true. Also, don't underestimate omnicidal Nazi technocrats in their own individual panzer tanks.
      Daleks have been suffering from 'villain decay' for decades. They are not stupid, they are not unable to fly through buildings like cannonballs, and:
      stairs are meaningless to them, as they travel through time, fly, and destroy whole planets if they pose the slightest threat.
