Classic Doctor Who — The War Games In Colour — A Review

23rd December, 2024: The War Games In Colour.

The Introduction.

Right … 

It’s officially the case that Dave Brubeck is playing in the background.

The Time Out LP, if you must know.

It’s something I find vaguely meditative.

I’ve also got dinner cooking.

Fish and chips.

Yes: I like others, usually have that on Fridays.

But … ?

I wanted to make room in the fridge.

I’ve been shopping, today … !

~≈🧑🏿‍⚕️≈~

At any rate … ?

It’s the 23rd December: and we’re two days away from this year’s Dr Who Christmas special, Joy to the World.

Something I’m looking forward: and assume that you are, too.

But, first … ?

BBC Four are showing an edited, colourised, version of The War Games, Patrick Troughton’s last story.

I’m interested in watching it: partly to see how the thing compares to last year’s The Daleks In Colour.

And partly to see how a story that — as originally broadcast — ran to some two hundred and fifty or so minutes … services the editing process!

This review … ?

Will be live tomorrow: I’m planning to sleep in between now and then … !

Doctor Who — The Underwater Menace — Episode 4 — A Review

25th February, 2024: the Introduction.

Yes: it’s Sunday afternoon.

And … ?

Frankly, I’m going to be having dinner with my family.

It’s something of a tradition.

Once I get back … ?

And dealt with the interest in the laptop I’m trying to sell … ?

I’ll be watching the last episode of classic Dr Who story, The Underwater Menace.

I’ll have my reviews up, tomorrow!

Doctor Who — The Underwater Menace — Episode 3 — A Review

18th February 2024: an introduction!

Right … 

As I write, it’s 15:30 on a Sunday afternoon: and … ?

I’ll be having dinner at my family’s.

When I get back … ?

I’ll be making myself a cup of tea … then watching episode three of The Underwater Menace!

I’ll be letting you know what I thought of it by tomorrow night …

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 7 — A Review

21st January, 2022.

It’s got to be said, I’ve got back from Chelmsford.

I’m unemployed: so have to do various courses, and take part in assorted programmes or be sanctioned.

Have my benefit stopped, in other words.

I was in Chelmsford to attend one of those meetings.

I think we can safely my legs hurt: all that walking from home to station, from station to office, and back … ?

Was definitely tiring!

At any rate … ?

I’m home: and going to have dinner.

Once that’s done?

I’m going to watch the last episode of The Evil of The Daleks.

If all goes well, I’ll finish my written and video reviews for you, by tomorrow night.

Here’s hoping … !

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 6 — A Review

14th January, 2022.

Right at the moment, I’m boiling potatoes: I’m cooking dinner, in other words, and making home-made chips as part of the meal.

So, of course, I’ve done the usual thing: chopped up a couple of spuds with a crinkle cutter, and put the things on to boil.

Before I roast them in the oven.

Which means … ?

Well, lots of things.

But it means I’m both nearer to getting fed: and nearer to watching episode six of classic Doctor Who story, The Evil of the Daleks, tonight.

If you’re reading this intro?   I should have my review up, by 15th January, 2022.

Here’s hoping it reads well … !

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 5 — A Review

7th January, 2022.

Right … 

It’s a Friday evening: and I’m looking forward to two things.

Dinner: fish and home made chips, if you must know.

And another episode of classic Doctor Who serial, The Evil of The Daleks.

Episode 5 if you must know.

I’ll be back to finish this written review, later.

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 4 — A Review

31st December, 2021.

Right … 

You can possibly tell I’m a single, unemployed, chap: with little in the way of money.

So … ?   I’m at home for New Year’s Eve.

Not that I’m too worried.

It is, after all, a Friday.

Which means that — once I’ve had dinner? — I’ll be watching Episode Four of Evil of the Daleks: and telling you about it, later tonight!

~≈§≈~

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 3 — A Review

24th December, 2021.

Right … 

I’ve got a plateful of fish and chips to eat, tonight.

And?

Once I’m done with them, I’m going to be watching another episode of The Evil of The Daleks!

I have to confess: I like doing binge watching, the old fashioned way: one epidote at a time!

I’ll be right back!

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 2 — A Review

17th December, 2021.

 

Hm … 

Right now, I’m hoping that intro makes sense … 

In context.

It’s 18:35, on Friday, 17th December, 2021: and … ?

I’m just about ready to have dinner: whilst the BBC News channel’s sports results are on.

For those of us of a certain age?

That’s practically retro.

At any rate?

I’m going to have fish and chips.   Then watch episode two of Evil of the Daleks.

Then I’ll let you know what I thought of the episode: either late tonight, to tomorrow evening: the 18th.

I’ll be back in a bit.

Doctor Who — The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 1 — A Review

10th December, 2021.

Right … 

I’m going to do this post in two chunks: I’m starting it, now, so that I’ve got a link I can add to the video introduction that you’ve — hopefully — just watched.

One I can also add to the video version of the review: later tonight, or tomorrow.

Either way?

I’m going to turn off the music I’m playing — the 12” version of Propanga’s Dr Mabuse — then grab a cup of tea … 

And watch Episode 1 of The Evil of the Daleks.

Back, soon!
