Tardis. I am so sorry that you are not one hundred percent lately, I hope you are well soon. We have a long wait until the sonic screwdriver shows up so buckle up! I thank you for being one of the few channels that watch Classic Who. To not watch the early episodes seems to me like studying English history and starting at King George IV! Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to "M"!

TARDIS. Thanks for the video, I know it is a huge amount of work involved. A 'few' notes. I'll try to address as much as I can remember from watching, although I'm sure I'll miss something. I'll start with one of your last points - animation versus photo-reconstructions. The quality of the animations is mixed as they are made in various styles by several different animation companies. They were also produced at different points over a long period of time. It's been nearly 20 years since the first official animations came out although the bulk have been in the last ten years or so. The rate has increased quite a bit until recently. The more recently produced ones (mostly the 2nd Doctor) tend to be a bit more coherent in style. I can understand your reluctance though based on the animated episodes for the next story. The quality of the animation is so-so but personally I feel they are watchable. The biggest issue is that there are some very strange editing choices made with the shots which can be quite jarring. The photo-reconstructions can be problematic too. In some stories is often a lack of source material (telesnaps) so the final images on screen can end up heavily photoshopped and not appear anything like they did in the original broadcast version. They also suffer when there are scenes with a lot of action and little or no dialogue. Although there are usually on screen descriptions, it can still be tricky to follow what is happening. I believe some of the more advanced reconstructions have even inserted CGI to make things clearer. If you are getting to that stage, you might as well watch the animated versions. I personally would recommend using the official animations for reactions but I completely understand if you choose not to do so. Back to this story. I feel the writing isn't the best when the Doctor forbids Susan from going down to the planet. Attitudes were a bit different back then children were taught to respect their elders authority more, even if they felt they were wrong. Problem is, Susan isn't supposed to be a child. The writers can't decide if she's ten or fifteen in the way she acts and is treated. The Doctor's character continues to evolve. When he goes down to the tunnels to find the poison as far as he knows Ian has been cured. He's acting altruistically to help the Sensorites. In previous stories up until this point his actions have been largely motivated by helping himself and the Tardis team. This is a large step towards him becoming the character we all know and love. Speaking of the monster in the tunnels, what actually happened to the Doctor's coat. The monsters are fake, so it is implied that the survivors quickly ripped his jacket up to look like claw marks. Ian makes a comment about the rest of his clothes being undamaged but it still isn't very clear. I must say for being stuck on a spaceship for days, Barbara has a great tan. She must have been taking advantage of the on board solariums. The pace of the story really ramps up when she gets down to the Sense Sphere and gets everyone organised. Can't help feeling if she'd came down with everyone else, the story would have been wrapped up in an episode. The survivors in the tunnel were likely inspired by Japanese soldiers posted to Pacific islands at the end of World War II. They were unaware of the end of the war and their ethos forbid them from surrendering. For decades after the war they'd attack locals and hide in the jungles. They were often coaxed out with family, friends or Japanese officials. It was well into the 1970s before the last of them were finally repatriated. Okay I think I'll stop there. This comment is far too long.

TARDIS! Some of that video quality is quite good. Much better than the versions I have.

Ahh, thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that. You're amazing. Oh yes, thank you for noticing! Almost all of the footage that I use is from the physical media released versions, to keep the highest original quality for a better viewing for both you and I. However, I do also apply some sharpening to the image to bump it up a little more. That could be some of the reason for the quality to look a little better than yours. Which versions do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
