Koete Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Seventh Doctor wise, I know Tom Deja would recommend "Ghost Light." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakob1978 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Another good podcast. Robot is an odd story, as you mentioned it's a Pertwee story with a new actor. It's a curious hybrid, but still fun. I was surprised you didn't mention the drawbacks of the green screen when the Robot grows, and it must have taken great restraint not to have a section of the podcast just made up of you laughing at the pathetic toy tank I don't know if it was my link in the Doctor Who thread that made you link to that song, but glad you liked it...it's such a geeky thing regarding McCoy stories, he's one of my fave Doctors, and I have a soft spot for the Happiness Patrol, but I'd recommend Remembrance of the Daleks, Curse of Fenric, Greatest Show in the Galaxy, Ghost Light, Survival....anything from the last 2 series except Silly Nemesis.

Dan Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I can't believe we forgot to mention the Action Man toy tank. That was pathetic. Oh well. We really didn't talk much about the story itself at all, because it really was nothing more than a showcase for the new Doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Seventh Doctor wise, I know Tom Deja would recommend "Ghost Light." Yup. Tom sent me an e-mail recommending that very story. I don't know if it was my link in the Doctor Who thread that made you link to that song, but glad you liked it...it's such a geeky thing I believe it was. Thanks! regarding McCoy stories, he's one of my fave Doctors, and I have a soft spot for the Happiness Patrol, but I'd recommend Remembrance of the Daleks, Curse of Fenric, Greatest Show in the Galaxy, Ghost Light, Survival....anything from the last 2 series except Silly Nemesis. I'll give some of those a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 "Ghost Light" is a story that has as many detractors as it has fans. I like it, but know going in it's not for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwalkineternity Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 "Ghost Light" is a story that has as many detractors as it has fans. I like it, but know going in it's not for everyone. Yeah I quite like Ghost Light too, I think it has built up this reputation of being a complex story that's really hard to understand. I honestly think the plot is a bit more complex than the usual doctor who stories but is very easy to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckydream Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I love how when Harry inadvertently insults the Tardis the Doctor takes back the Jellybaby he just gave to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin B. Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Did he? I missed that! It's in that subtle Tom Baker way. I barely caught it myself Happens around the 2:33 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJqoonVxjvE There was nothing subtle about it. He grabbed the jelly baby out Harry's hand and threw it, very forcefully, back into the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepdown Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 2 things, How come the metal handle on the bucket containing the virus does not get infected? When Baker takes the Jelly Baby back it was after Harry had bitten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My understanding was that the virus was specially formulated to infect the "living metal" the robot was made of only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
