2nd January, 1971 - 50 years ago today, both The Master, played by Roger Delgado...


...and Jo Grant, played by Katy Manning...


...make their first appearance in episode one of 'Terror Of The Autons'

Remember a friend wanted to go see John bishop years ago, I’m not a fan. We was sat down and I decided to go loo plenty time before it started, on way I bumped into someone I knew so took a bit longer than intended, anyhow as I walked to go back in they refused entry to everyone who wasn’t in their seats 5min before he was due on stage and said no one allowed back in until he on stage and settled into his routine, they wouldn’t let anyone in for the first 15min of the act.

The last episode could have been written on the back of a fag packet. But the unoriginality wasn't the worst. There was absolutely no sense of danger. Basically, the Doctor came up with a plan and it worked pretty much like clockwork. How is that suspenseful?

At least the PC stuff, whilst still there, was dialled back a bit. However, Yaz's lesbian crush is cringe television in the extreme.

A Terileptil from The Visitation (1982)

This year's Doctor Who was the best yet.

The Doctor looked magnificent. Looked like he/she was ready for a funeral.

He/she's companion looked beautiful with that striking blue Winter wear.

Didn't the planet look similar to Necros? I thought it did.

The Daleks. WOW! Fantastic design. Almost a revelation to behold. Still no sign of Jobel.

Yazz luv's that he/ she Doctor. Maybe it's luv at first sight. Or maybe not. Maybe a big sonic device might help restore things to a better inter-course in space or maybe not.

Thank God Jack had the Vortex manipulator. A threesome would've raised the ratings, instead their's no chemstry between them whatsoever. Maybe Rose might help? Fat chance :xmasjig:

At least the 3D printer came in handy. :xmasjig:

No more Time Lords, and Doctor Karen doesn't know who she/he is????:xmasjig::xmasjig::xmasjig::xmasjig::xmasjig ::xmasjig::xmasjig::xmasjig:

Doctor Wholess :xmascan::xmascan:.

Feeding Daleks liquidfied humans. Where's the great Healer in all of this. Probably on holiday in Tranquil Repose. Mutant Daleks with human DNA killed by a Dalek hit squad, but off screen. Revelation of the Daleks was ****ing funtastic . Luved it. BBC and Chibnall demonstrate the insane nature of Doctor Pointless.

So after that I watched Ressurection of the Daleks, and my faith was restored. A good detox of old Who. And what a tonic to a Resoultion of the Daleks. :xmastreedance:


DOCTOR KAREN. WE LUV YOU. THE BEST STUFFING WAS WATCHING DOCTOR POO GETTING FURTHER STUFFED UP THE TURKEY BUM BY THE BBC AND CHIBNALL.

Thanks again for all these spoilers folks!
