This, fellow Whovians, is it! My first memory of
#DoctorWho
! This exact moment, switching the TV on aged 4 to be greeted with this! To say I was captivated would be an understatement! Feel free to share your earliest memories, too 🙂

Blooming heck! Even Davros, creator of the
#Daleks
has waded in to the recent
#DoctorWho
An Unearthly Child debacle! I wonder who wrote his speech?

The Third Doctor defending himself from a pterodactyl attack with a mop has to be one of the most ‘Whoish’ moments in the entire history of the programme! Is it any wonder that I love this show so much?

A contender for one of the greatest lines in the history of
#DoctorWho
! Incidentally, I’m only a few minutes in and I’m reminded again of what a rich, complex script Survival is, bolstered by pitch perfect performances! So which is it for you: dead or Birmingham?

You will never convince me that these are not the best Dalek voices of all the Daleks’ TV appearances! The performances (I never think Roy Skelton gets the recognition as a Dalek voice artist that he deserves), and that beefy modulation 👌

I love Roger Delgado as The Master but his performance never gives me chills. Certain scenes of Peter Pratt’s Master, and this scene from Anthony Ainley, give my goosebumps goosebumps! Bloody terrifying and sublimely performed. One of my favourite scenes in
#DoctorWho

R.I.P. Georgina Hale, another
#DoctorWho
legend gone to that great after show party in the sky. An actress who seemed to be in everything in the 80s and early 90s but not a face I’ve seen in recent times! Wonderful, perfect casting as Daisy K. Happiness will prevail! 😢

By golly, by gosh Bill Hartnell was superb as

wasn’t he! That’s all I have to say 🙂

Resistance was useless! Those covers! How could I not? This is the start of a slippery slope, I can tell! Fans of a certain vintage will understand why!

I always forget that the Second

was munching on Jelly Babies long before the Fourth one had even left the building site! Even though I’ve seen this countless times, I was expecting him to say Sherbet Lemon!

No Doctor Who for me tonight, as I am still bereft of a VHS player. So, it’s time for an Agatha Christie instead. Can you believe that I’ve never seen the Margaret Rutherford Marple movies??!! Time to rectify that oversight now!

Quite an emotional day here at Mestor headquarters. With the arrival of

EDA The Deadstone Memorial, I now own every original Doctor Who novel published in the wilderness years: Virgin NAs, MAs, and BBC EDAs and PDAs. Absolutely ecstatic 🤩

Is there any

Many

villains have uttered the Doctor’s name over the years, but few have done it with the vitriolic contempt that Julian Glover does in this marvellous scene. A rightly lauded performance! A true acting legend!

Goodnight, Whovians of X. On this the anniversary of the legendary

Remembrance of the Daleks was the epitome of excitement for this 8 year old.
#Daleks
! In a school! And one that looked very like my primary school! The thought that a Dalek could glide around the corner at any time 🤩 Is it any wonder that I was hooked?

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the villainous contributions that the late Alan Bennion made to
#DoctorWho
in the 1960s and 1970s? He is to the Ice Warriors what David Banks is to the Cybermen. Each one of his Ice Lord portrayals is different! Azaxyr is my favourite! 🤩

Another of Mestor’s misguided
#DoctorWho
opinions: although I love Hartnell’s speech at the end of DIOE, his reaction to the departure of Ian and Barbara is far more powerful. Just look at his performance here; there is conviction in every frame, and it kills me every time 😢

Because you’ve all been good, I thought I’d let you share my joy as I watch the third Margaret Rutherford Marple for the first time! Here’s a little bop on me… 🕺

So, I’m sat here, eating my tea and watching repeats of 2 Point 4 Children, only to notice that there’s a VHS copy of
#DoctorWho
The Masque of Mandragora on the table. That’s made my evening that has!

For any
#DoctorWho
fan young or old who has never read a Target novelisation, it’s passages like these that make the best of them worth reading: the way Hulke fleshes out a relatively minor character in just one paragraph is a master stroke. He and Uncle Terrance were geniuses!
17

One of my favourite scenes in cinema history! The Daleks look and sound awesome, the control room sound effect is stunning, and that Dalek entrance music rivals Darth Vader’s Imperial March! There! Mestor has spoken!

With all the fallout and fan unpleasantness from the comments about

by RTD, this seems an opportune moment to post a little

I cannot believe what my wonderful school librarian placed into my hands this afternoon! “I was having a clear out of some shelves and thought you might like these

books!” Can’t wait to add them to my shelves at home!

This little exchange remains one of my favourite Doctor/Barbara interactions in

That look when

Shout out to the wonderful Angela Bruce who is magnificent as Brigadier Bambera in
#DoctorWho
Battlefield. She was as much the definitive Brigadier to me as Nick Courtney (having not seen him in the role prior to this!) She definitely should have returned if Who hadn’t been axed!

I nominate this scene for Best Stunt Fall in the 60 years of
#DoctorWho
. It’s up against some stiff competition but it’s the way dear Terry Walsh (I think) just gets up and climbs back the way he came, giving the Auton an implacable menace that makes it really spectacular!

Simon Rouse gives one of the greatest guest performances in the history of

. His descent into madness is convincing and disturbing. Plus, this scene reminds me of myself in my office most Thursday afternoons 🙂

One of the single greatest and most chilling scenes in the history of

Okay Whovians of X: saw a variation of this elsewhere and decided to adapt…
A bit of Bank Holiday fun…
Which
#DoctorWho
character wasn’t the lead but stole the show?
115

158
I still think this is one of the most upsetting and disturbing scenes in
#DoctorWho
history. A vulnerable pensioner against an implacable alien menace. Betty Bowden excels in conveying the terror. I remember being upset that the Auton might kill her. She reminded me of my Nan!

Good night, Whovians of X! Genuinely emotional tonight as I’ve taken delivery of two enormous parcels of

I’ve tweeted before and I’ll tweet it again: Malcolm Terris gives one of my favourite performances in

as the Co-Pilot in Horns of Nimon. Absolute conviction! He brings this nasty piece of work to life perfectly, even maintaining dignity with his split trousers! 🤩

“He’s never cruel, he’s never unkind…”
Fiddlesticks to that! I love it when
#DoctorWho
whacks nasty people with shovels, poisons them with cyanide, blows them up with their own explosives, and pushes them into their own distillation chambers!
Bringer of Darkness, indeed!

Showrunners of
#DoctorWho
attend, for Mestor speaks: this is how you do a companion leaving sequence! Not some drawn out, mawkish cheese fest on a beach! That second ‘Goodbye, Jamie’ from The Doctor, and Jamie’s crestfallen response is so powerful. Genuine and heartfelt! 😢

#DoctorWho
The Face of the Enemy is a superb novel that makes you feel like you’ve watched a UNIT spin-off series from the 70s. The book rewards the reader with plenty of surprises, and provides a superb vehicle for The Master’s villainy! Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you all for your wonderful responses to my post about

Is this not magnificent? 🤩
Metropolitan Police Box, Hammersmith, 1948. A battered example of a BBC Dr Who box. The police officer is from "F" Division which covers Fulham, Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush.

Carry on Screaming was an absolute joy! I loved it! The mise en scene, the cast, some splendid lines! I dare say it isn’t typical of the franchise but I found it a marvellous parody of the horror genre! Some magnificent Doctor Who and Steptoe and Son references, too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is ‘Excellent!’ to see much love for David Banks’s Cyberleader on my feed tonight! A true

I adored Carry On Up The Khyber! What an ensemble! What fun! A personal favourite joke was the ‘Rank stupidity!’ line! Wonderful! I wonder if Carry On aficionados get their knickers in a twist over this in a way younger Doctor Who fans do over Talons 🤭 Loved it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Something that’s always irked me about
#DoctorWho
The Three Doctors is how awful the sets for Omega’s Palace are. Like a cross between a budget department store’s Christmas grotto and an explosion in a tin of Quality Street. Name a worse set in the show’s history, I dares ya!

I’ve had an absolutely marvellous day at

Wonderful! 🐌

Awesome charity shop find just now! Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds on vinyl, complete with the lavishly illustrated booklet! Simply stunning 🤩 Now I just need a record player to play it on 😆 ULLA!!

Many of the criticisms levelled at Timelash are fully justified but no
#DoctorWho
story with a villain as well realised and performed as The Borad can be all bad! That make-up! That voice! The Borad is ace! And he used to be married to Leela! (Shout out to Mr Darrow, too!)

122
David John Pope as the Kandyman and Harold Innocent as Gilbert M are one of the best double acts in
#DoctorWho
. Pope owns the role as the murderous Frankensteinesque creation, and Innocent’s delivery of the black humour is pitch perfect! Like an intergalactic Steptoe & Son!

Having thoroughly enjoyed

It nearly ended up in my trolley. It really did! An alternative way of viewing the story, even if it’s a bit like a televised migraine! The original B&W episodes included, too!
Then I remembered about the Nick Briggs Dalek voices…
So it stayed on the shelf.

I’m truly saddened to learn of the death of Chris Boucher. The importance of The Robots of Death on my journey as a

Nothing to see here, fellow Whovians. Only Christopher Gable giving one of the finest performances in the history of

. What a sublime piece of casting! And, my word… is there a more painful looking slap in any other episode? That looked like it really hurt!
11

113
I’ve commented on this before but this scene gets me every time! Superbly written and performed, it makes Morgaine such a complex character; she murders a soldier for information, and then seconds later cures a woman’s blindness! A very special
