So thrilled for this release - this season was in heavy rotation during the initial release of the first 4 Baker seasons in the US. Adore Fang Rock & Fendahl, and Tom "going mad" in Invasion of Time. Tom whispering that he's instead locked the enemy in, "with us", is one of the all-time best cliffhangers. Would love another livestream since I missed the last one!

To me, this was probably the final season of classic Who that contained a couple of really good monster stories: Horror of Fang Rock & Image of the Fendahl. I've always seen Doctor Who in a simple way, having grown up with it, as a series about the Doctor using his cleverness to right wrongs and defeat the evil machinations of a variety of scary monsters and villains, and it had delivered that in spades. However, Mary Whitehouse's criticisms of violence in some stories in the Hinchcliffe era effectively flattened that and producers ever after had to substitute a lot of the inherent scariness with more humour. It was from that point, IMHO, that the series began it's long slow decline through to cancellation in 1989. There were some decent stories after Image of the Fendahl (such as Caves of Androzani and City of Death), but no consistent period of great stories for my taste that eclipsed the stories and seasons that had gone before, and no Doctor actor who eclipsed Tom Baker. I'll certainly be buying the blu-ray, but the one I'm most looking forward to is season 13. :-)

I think the previous season was when I started watching it properly, but Fang Rock, Invisible Enemy and Fendahl are 3 of my favourite serials of the classic era. I’m also keen on Toby being part of Behind the Sofa, as occasionally I feel the participants are fed talking points and it feels a little staged Like you I’m a tad unsure about the reimagined Rutan (but maybe we’ve conditioned ourselves too hard to accept the glow in the dark carrier bag).

I love The Horror of Fraggle Rock... ermm Fang Rock. I remember seeing this while we were staying with our cousins at a big house in the country. It is one of the key imprints representing Dr Who for me. I actually haven't seen all of Invasion of Time -- I'd seen references to it from FASA, but somehow I think I'd thought it was from a different era. I think I started to watch it on DVD decades later, but something else must have taken precedence. I saw many of the Pertwee and Tom Baker adventures mixed together as repeats, so it's always interesting discovering ones that were skipped, or which I had "filled-in" episodes I'd missed with imagination or re-constructions based on my friends' erroneous takes. Or Target stories in which I'd transposed different Doctors onto stories.

Amazing news. I was 8 when it came out and I remember it so well and you're right, under appreciated gems. The beginning of K9's journey with The Doctor is a great Fantastic Voyage like adventure, you have a return to Gallifrey and Sontarans, the literal Horror and brilliance of Fang Rock all in the mix. I am v keen to re watch Underworld. I remember watching it as a kid and even then thinking 'wow all this rubbish CSO' but I suspect regardless of the limited budget and visualisations of said story, the actual story is likely to be a gem, stripping all the oft negative fan comment. I recall really enjoying Alan Lake in it. Sunmakers was a lark wasn't it. Can't say it's an absolute fave, but an amusing few eps. So, yes, very excited.

The extras seems to be aimed towards Horror of Fang Rock. Dunno if any more special features will be announced but it looks like this set is lacking compared to previous ones. They could have perhaps featured Graham Williams' planned videodisc edit of The Invasion of Time to boost things up. Seems a bit unusual for Lee Binding to use a CGI Rutan when usually the montages consists of the original versions at the time. I suppose he could have used the possessed Reuben as he would have fitted in with the dark colours of the other villains.

Yes indeed, I'm sad that there doesn't seem to be much in the way of dedicated new extras for The Invasion Of Time. Hopefully one of Tom's new audio commentaries is for it, at least? And I'm hopeful that the story of The Invasion Of Time's production will be told in the Graham Williams doc. 🤔

Yes lots of people criticized this season because underworld isn't really that great of an episode but I love it I think it's classic Doctor Who at its best who cares about the special effects it's what's the story that counts ask for Invasion of Time the first half of it is a little stupid but this entire ends at the end when they show up and stand there this General General storm what a name he says the centaurs have Concord California how did the doctor defeats them with a big laser rifle that is very powerful also comes with an action figure by the way is really awesome

Another great video! All i can remember of Underworld is that it is the most boring thing i have ever watched!🤣 I used to have the DVD of the invisible enemy though so that one is really nostalgic for me, but my favourite of the season is image of the Fendall, It's just so dark and the Fendall look awesome! I also remember enjoying the sun makers, which to me is the closest doctor who got to blakes 7. though i also find myself watching the leisure hive a lot more often than i should🤣

It’s already been confirmed years ago _Underworld_ is unfixable, both because the extent of any CGI replacement would blow the entire budget for the set, and because Tom’s brown coat merges far too well into the brown walls for a clean crop to be made.

Season 15 was scripted edited by Robert Holmes through Sunmakers. So the first half is still very much Hinchcliffe/Holmes. The second half is where Graham Williams makes his mark, and it shows - not that great.

This is interesting. For a start, when is this out? When is it on sale? I tried to get the season 14 box set and it was all gone. I had to wait months before it came out in standard packing. When it comes to Horror of Fang Rock, its no wonder the Rutan has been updated. It was a green gel blob and cotton wool originally. Its a truly brilliant story, let down by the monster effects. The idea of the monster is brilliant, but its realisation in reality is lacking. At the time they did the best they could, and the story carried it. So to see it with effects that give you a more realistic Rutan is a good idea. The central eye is obviously being done as for the early episodes, you get a monsters eye view of it coming out of the sea and creeping around, without seeing it at all. And its a central eye viewpoint like a Dalek. So it makes sense in the monster design, tentacles etc. The updates to Weng Chiang and its Giant Rat are the same idea. A great story let down by monster costume, so all they are doing is a sympathetic update to create what they would have made if they could. The other thing I find odd is the documentary on the Lighthouse. They did not use a real one. There was an exterior model of one, and the rocks and coast, and the interior was all studio sets. Well made, classic BBC of the time. There was some footage of outside in the first couple of parts when the Doctor and Leela are looking for the creature, but I always thought it was on some rocky beach somewhere, and they added in the lighthouse model later. Maybe the documentary covers where they filmed that section, but a real Lighthouse was not used....

March eh? Much as I love Doctor Who, I really feel the BBC have mined the classic series for money far too much. And the fans, and taken them for granted. A Vhs release, then on DvD as in your video. Then the Bluray box set as a special edition at almost £60. Then months later it comes out AGAIN in a standard pack. For about £30. So they are bleeding fans for an extra £30 for what is in effect a cardboard box. There are no other films or shows etc you could get away with doing this to, other than Doctor Who. I would love to buy this myself. But I detest the BBC now. And what they have done to Doctor Who, older license fee payers and so on. I think its pure greed. I am sure the extras and documentaries are lovely and I would buy it for them, but this con job of two releases in different boxes at different prices is just underhand. I will keep an eye out for it and decide at the time if I am willing to pay. This season has special memories for me, as the The Invisible Enemy Target book is what taught me to read. The whole country was going Star Wars crazy and we also had Tom as Doctor Who, with his new robot K9. Pure magic compared to today.....Being a cynical sort of person (for good reason) it looks to me that the Lighthouse documentary is an excuse to put in some material with Louise to help sell the set, as there was no real Light House to visit. And the virtual computer generated mock up of the studio sets are also interesting...I am just not sure I want to give the BBC almost £60 for stuff I have bought many times over already and paid for with the License Fee as well....

This was my early fandom of Who when I loved this new bizarre discovery of a sci fi series but also not really knowing much of its history at all. I watched each story with rapt attention over and over and over again (PBS endless repeats in the USA) and probably quite literally know these by heart! That said, a lot of the humor of The Sun Makers went over my young self’s head but something my adult self can wholeheartedly appreciate (you’re in for a treat!). Lott;e apprehensive about the Rutam with an eye…these updated FX run the gamut of awful and cheap;y done in some scenes to absolutely exquisite and truly an enhanceent to the original (Kinda from Season 19 comes to mind immediately as that excellent story was utterly destroyed by that embarrassing cheap plastic giant snake as it jarringly rips you out of the story to laugh at first and then just feel horrible secondary embarrassment,ent for adults trying to act like this was anything frightening…thankfully the updated FX allow one to truly appreciate the deep metaphysical story as intended!). Also, had zero idea Horror of Fang Rock was filmed at a *real* lighthouse??? Seriously? Well that’s a shocker…usually on Who the fake sets don’t look real…but this has to be a first that a Real location looked like a fake set!!! LOL! Oh how I miss good ol Classic Who and it’s stretching the budget to the breaking point which somehow rarely detracted from the story because the acting was spot on (except in cases like,e the aforementioned Kinda of course…and a few others). Also fondly remember K9! As I kid and still as an adult I LOVED the robotic sidekicks, R2-D2 is still my favorite Star Wars character and K9 was apparently an “answer” to R2, and I loved him (and still do - had hoped he’d appear in the 60th (sob!). I do wonder if they’ve left in the one and only shot in The Invisjble Enemy of K9’s side screen actually on and displaying something (iirc was just a weird sort of static rather than any information a human could read, but still, it was intended originally to be used as an actual display even if it never did again!). Underworld was the only story I actively disliked (apologies to your ale watches…I suppose I might just enjoy it hammered!). Curious to see if there’s any improvement to that awful green screen where perspective is non-existent and body parts tend to disappear at random, and K9 rolls over rock floor with ease (I suppose it was worn smooth by years of those poor…what’d they call them? Those human slaves running barefoot through them? Anyway, I suppose they also cleared away an “sky fall” remnants too…but just being a dick. The quest is the quest and why didn’t everyone get regeneration beds??? I could sure use one about now…. ;-) Added: Oh! Forgot to add, Yes, more in depth videos please!!! :-)
