As someone who lives in Gettysburg, it's hilarious that they made it look like a desert in the Lincoln scene when in reality, Gettysburg looks like a lot of the farm lands that Doctor Who usually films exteriors in
The Dido jokes had me in tears the Dalek karaoke had me full off my chair. Keep up the good work, love the channel.
Babe, wake up! New Stam Fine Doctor Who video just dropped!
Stop doing this joke, you are not funny anymore
It was released. If it was dropped then we wouldn't see it 🤪
@@ShamrockParticle go out
The Chase is the GREATEST Doctor Who story of all time, based solely on the fact that Daleks fight Dracula and Frankenstein’s Monster… It doesn’t get more better than that lol
Actually robot at a theme horror house.
"The Time Meddler" was one of the first Hartnell stories I ever saw - it's a great mix of history and adventure
This season Ian gets in more fights than Swayze in Roadhouse - dude is a complete unit!
Ah, yes, The Monk. When the show stumbled upon its true calling.
Surely you have enough dalek material for an album by now.
One of my personal favorite seasons of Classic Who. It takes everything that came last season and pushed the limit of what it could do as a show. It's inventiveness genuinely astounds me especially considering it's budget.
The Mary Queen of Scots joke was perfect
Seriously matey, Dalek Greatest Hits has to be done🤣
I think Mr Fine is determined to produce a video about every season of Doctor Who and I say YES great go for it Australian sound like dude .Keep those singing Daleks coming
8:40 Coincidentally, the video I watched before this was about Universal planning a new theme park in Bedfordshire.
Season 3 will be tough - much of it is missing.
Great summary.. full of humour and Dalek karaoke 😁
Isn't it about time that Auntie Beryl had her own channel?
She has an OnlyFans.
I find early 60s BBC shows so charming with their big performances and theatrical delivery.
Brilliant again! I planned on watching all old episodes I grew up with starting with Tom Baker! Now I just watch all your essays instead 🤣👍🏻🏴
Ray Barrett, absolute legend.
DALEK don't SURF
Put that on a T-shirt!
true.
I've eventually come to the conclusion that I'm all for descriptive planet names but I may have been corrupted by Phantasy Star 3 which featured Aqautica, Frigidia, Draconia and even Aridia (close but not quite!)
Hip hip hooray! Your Dr Who reviews were how I find your channel mate! Love it so much ... thank you!!! ❤
Coming soon The Dalekvision Song Contest 🎤
Purves was better known to most '70s kids as a Blue Peter presenter and hasn't done much acting since.
Butterworth was later a mainstay of the Carry On films.
Only this year (February 2024) we got to learn about Peter Butterworth’s wartime in Stalag Luft 3 helping others during the great escape.
Thanks so much for this! Doctor who brought me to your channel years ago, everything else has kept me here. well done!
Thanks Stam
I actually like the Web Planet. Then again, I was probably six when I first saw it. The scene with the menoptera flying around that weird set are brilliant.
With a double dose of Daleks, I didn't expect a song for the Dalek Invasion of Earth but I expected a Beatles cover for the Chase.
Thanks
Cheers, man!
Another great video!
Top-shelf Dido double-dealing. Next some nod to an 'm' and 'm' coopting Dido material, and finding far larger success. Columbo dub tickled no end too!
One of your best efforts, the comedy shone through, but a great analysis none the less.
Would we ever see another Sci-Fi show attempt to predict the grandeur of Rome inside the confines of a TV studio?
Nah; nah, na naer nay na ner. Oh no nah; naer no na, na nah.
Yayyyy more doccy who
Frankenstein's Monster.
The water was cold . . heh
If Vicki had killed Barbara to avenge her pet Vicki would be a 10/10 companion instead of merely Newsan.
Brilliant
Thank you needed this. Had "My Imortal" on loop all day
Needed this!
The irony of 'The Web Planet' is it got those high ratings. Which is why that imagery kept popping up in merch. And in the first annual - which I am keeping to pay for my care home.
The Daleks in 'Invasion of Earth' sometimes sound like The Goons.
I'm exterminating backwards for Christmas ...
I liked Star Cops. A bit slow but a good concept.
I was a young kid when the series started and it was really scary, even today I can appreciate the drama. However by 1965 the narrative and wobbly sets were well surpassed by ITV's challenge, and initially exciting; Lost in Space. However, that also became somewhat amateur and innapropriately comical and as a consequence, failed, so it was back to Dr Who!
Doctor Sliders
I think it was the 'Dis Continuity Guide' that brought this up regarding 'The Chase' - after spending two seasons/years trying to get back to 20th Century London, Ian and Barbara land on top of the Empire State Building in 1965. Why not leave then instead of waiting until they've captured a DARDIS to try and get back to London. The opportunity was right there unless they did not want to abandon the Doctor and Vicki in the midst of being pursued by the Daleks.
Time, they were rushed straight back into the TARDIS before they knew exactly when they'd landed
Peter Purvis, British television icon. I'm mean he's no John Noakes, but still.
He had fewer "inventive" stories about dog denial though ...
@@Lensman864 Those dogs, like Christopher like Christopher Trace in 1992, went to live on a farm in Wales!
2:18 the episodes where they are shrunken down and live in a land of giants has to be where the American series "Land of the Giants" got its idea. Way to similar.
I find the first doctor's time on the show to be pretty impenetrable for me. A combination of how much the medium of TV has changed, the lack of colour and how many of the stories are missing, but this video has helped give me a better sense of the first doctor's character.
Similarly I consider Troughton to be the first recognizably 'Doctor Who' Doctor. But without the first Doctor we wouldn't have any at all.
Some of his stories are relatively watchable. Check out The Aztecs, Romans, or Tenth Planet
I've been a fan of classic who since I was a kid (late 80s) but could never really get on board with Hartnell. Apart from Dalek Invasion of Earth. And it's not a black and white issue either as I love most Troughton stories. I just dont feel it really found its groove for a good few years consistently. Either that or I wasn't a fan of the pure historical stories.
Applause 👏
Awesome review Stam Fine.
Back in the 90s when i was at Uni the local video shop had the 5 weekly videos for 5 bucks deal and i binge watched most of these Dr Who stories one weekend with pizza and beer. That was a wild couple of days. The Web planet sure was a crazy time.
Haha so good
Come off it, Daleks Invasion Earth 2150AD is the best science fiction film of the 60s.
Damn, there’s a ULEZ joke missing somewhere there
Excellent analysis plus finally I realise where I'd seen Aussie comedian Sam Cambell before;) 11:53
Mate, the Dalek Invasion of Earth movie is excellent.
And by "excellent", I mean truly, laughably, awful to a contemporary viewer and, yet, it is still absolutely not to be missed.
It is interesting that the Character RK Maroon was played by Alan Tilvern and Stubby Kaye both appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit but were in Doctor Who with 22 years apart as Stubby was in Delta and the Bannermen the other good story of season 23 with Paradise Towers
I am a bad fan in that I don't have the blu-ray yet. Still, it'll probably be everywhere in a couple of years. Complete with cockylicking and cameras hiding in the undergrowth.
Fuck yeah bro has cooked
Where in Aus can we watch these eps now? Or DVD only?
Sadly, you're not going to have as much vusual material over the next three videos.😔
Dudley Simpson... The Tomorrow People you say? Almost as if a segue to a series about them.... hrmz...
That would be a pleasant jaunt ...
Doctor Who: Season 2. An eclectic bug or two.
I'd say it's an improvement over the first one, because at the very least there's no one saying "the best part of the season is the story that's missing. You should have seen it, it was so good. Pity no one thought it was worth keeping."
We've seen season two, we can safely say the worst story is the Chase, the Web Planet, the Space Museum while the best story is...
Well, I'm sure there's one.
I’m an 80’s baby so my memories of Doctor Who are, how shall we say… in colour. Even though I am a massive sci-fi fan, I never connected with who. For many fans the campiness is half the charm, it just wasn’t for me. Still, there is a real charm to older shows like this and with the capacity for great storytelling. I am more interested in the lore that came from the Who storytelling. Your reviews are full or original and creative humour but there is clearly so much love too.
If any camp existed for the 60s era, those were unintentional.
Scorchio 😊
Today I have been mostly eating spuds 😊
No need to carp about all the fish-fighting.
VERY entertaining! There's some seriously lengthy work gone into this one. Like Aunty Beryl paying top dollar at a dubious male strip club ... 🤔
More Who content, and suddenly all is right with the world...
Hey, 19:48 minutes in you said the same line from your script twice. Are you checking we are paying attention? Or is this a clever amateurish Dr Who reference I don't get?
is that RK Maroon of Maroon Cartoons?
Dalek invasion is the start of the Doctor character being a peoples hero.
The Chase, least viewed part of the Dalek tin VHS Boxset! Watching it aged 11 after Ace with her baseball bat and the Special Weapons Dalek made for quite the contrast. I wonder what a current era 11 year old would make of being sat down in front of it, let alone if you would find one who would choose to watch it, and all the way through, even if they did know about the epic Mechanoid battle!
Hello Mr. Fine sir, may I call you Stam?
Are you considering reviewing THHGTTG* TV show?
*No, this isn't me explaining what that initialisation means.
sure, though YMMV.
I'm just glad you wrote initialisation and not acronym, well done.
After 50 years of watching Dr Who I've finally formed my opinion on it. It has nothing interesting to say and no real consequences. Save humanity? It becomes a game show hell, or a robot hell, or wasteland. We've seen the end of time. Nothing seems to matter. Which is an accurate depiction of humanity on a large enough scale.
It's full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
There were some stand-out stories...okay...one...City of Death.
Just my opinion, of course. After a lifetime of indecision about Dr. Who, it's just nice to finally put it to rest. And this video helped with that.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Have to say overall I always enjoyed Season 3. The Time Meddler is a great story and Steven and Vicki work so well together.
Season 2 Ranked:
9). The Web Planet
8). The Space Museum
7). The Rescue
6). The Romans
5). Planet of Giants
4). The Crusade
3). The Time Meddler
2). The Chase
1). The Dalek Invasion of Earth
I remember all these from my childhood. To my eyes then they were completely different and not obvious crap
"Bath week"? How English are you becoming? ha! :-)
1066 AD was the Norman invasion, not the Vikings....
tell that to Haraldr Sigurðarson
@@jameshumphreys-mr1iu Trying not to be obtuse, but you'll have to explain that one🙂
@@glennpeters4462 Sigurðarson was King of Norway at the time, and claimed the throne of "England" via his grandparent Knut, effectively, and invaded in the north [and lost] to Godwinson [then king of England] ... Godwinson and his army were still rather knackered from all this hassle, so when Villhelm þe olde B*rstard i.e. "William the Conquerer" arrived in the south to also claim the throne, it all kicked off a bit, again... which was one in the eye for Godwinson, as they say.
@@IngieKerr Thanks you so much for this. I will pursue this line of history with interest!
Didn't like the cheap put-down-of-people language, otherwise I would have kept listening.
Rather see the episod!e noy hear you
Thanks
Cheers!
